Thanksgiving has always been special at the Cottage. Almost all of our family is spread out across the states so it is usually just us and sometimes a few good friends. From early in the morning, the house smells like baking bread and pies, roasting turkey and spices all mingling together in a mouthwatering aroma. Christmas carols play softly (a family tradition started by Grandma Cottage), as we work together on the Thanksgiving feast.
One thing we love is decorating the table! This year we chose white and green pumpkins with tarnished silver candlesticks and dried hydrangeas.

We reused the gold disks from the garden party and hung them from the ceiling throughout the room.
We found these great silver candle holders from an estate sale, we loved the aged look so we didn't bother polishing them.
We used chalk paint on little orange pumpkins to make them this adorable green, and the chicken wire napkin rings.

Mix matched silver platers set off the white of the bone china and linen napkins perfectly and tie the candlesticks in perfectly.
The neutral tones of the dried hydrangeas really pull this look together. We waited until later in the season to clip them so we would get this neutral look but earlier in the year you would have them more colorful. Simply clip them the length you are wanting and put them into your basket or vase without water and they will dry this way.
