Pink Thanksgiving, Obviously

The runner does the heavy lifting

Start with the runner. It is 13 by 72 inches, cream with soft pink pumpkins and eucalyptus, and it is the piece that tells everyone this is a Thanksgiving table and not a baby shower. Lay it straight down the middle and build on top of it.

Then the velvet pumpkins: 16 of them in blush, rose, peach and white, from about 3 to 3.7 inches wide. Scatter them along the runner in little clusters instead of one big pile.

Plates and glasses

The plates are a set of 8 porcelain plates, 8 inches across, in pastel yellow, blue, pink and mint with scalloped gold rims, some covered in roses and some in tiny dots. Mix them up so no two neighbours match.

The goblets are pink pressed glass, 12 oz, with an embossed vintage pattern. They are what makes the whole table read pink from across the room, and they work for water, wine or sparkling cider.

Candles, finally standing up

The spiral tapers are 10 inches tall in a gradient of pinks, 6 to a pack. The pink ribbed glass holders come in a set of 3 and fit tapers from 0.75 to 2 inches across. Stand them down the centre between the pumpkins and light them before anyone sits down.

What is real and what is styling

The six finds are the runner, the velvet pumpkins, the plates, the goblets, the taper candles and the candle holders. The table, chairs, napkins, flatware, wheat, pitcher, pears, leaves, barn, dog and tumbler in these photos are styling extras.
