Napkin Garland by Linea Carta - $14.00 [ Link ]
I can't get enough of the whimsical garland motif. These linen napkins are silk-screened with the garland design and feel so special.
by Etsy
Vintage China - $39.00 [ Link ]
I'm obsessed with this concept from Greenhouse Design Studio. Their new web shop sells mixed sets of vintage china found in the U.S. and Central France. Just look at all those pretty patterns! I love the modern style of mix-and-match formal china on the table because I'm not much of matchy-matchy girl.

Glass Bottle with Glass Stopper - $28.00 [ Link ]
This is a chic way to serve water: a smoke-gray glass bottle with a glass topper. I think the men in the family will approve too.

Porcelain Dessert Plate - $42.00 [ Link ]
If I could only shop from one place, I'd love to scoop up Herriott Grace's entire web shop for my holiday table. But if I had to pick a current favorite, it would be this hand-cast porcelain dessert plate. It has such a pretty shape and comes in a creamy white glaze.

Pitcher - Jade - $16.95 [ Link ]
Every table needs some color, and I'm personally not a fan of the iconic orange-brown color combination for Thanksgiving. For me, this jade pitcher is perfection.

Parisian Glass - $56.00 [ Link ]
These vintage-inspired goblets look like they're straight out of a Parisian flea market. This time of year feels like the right time for a hefty goblet.

Bygones Flatware Bundles - $68.00 [ Link ]
I never seem to have enough flatware when guests come over, but I like the idea of buying a lot of vintage silverware like these pieces. It's amazing that, with a point and click of your mouse, you can instantly shop for vintage forks, knives and spoons found in flea markets and estate sales across the country!

Vintage Red Transferware Dessert Plates and Bowls by Shaving Kit - $18.00 [ Link ]
Just a few pieces of vintage transferware would add some history to your table. I love this English Abbey pattern in red, and the scalloped edges are so sweet.
by Etsy
Provence Table Runer - $45.00 [ Link ]
This linen table runner looks like it has been in your family for generations, but it's still a modern charmer for today. And how can you go wrong with simple stripes?

Embossed Metal Serving Tray - $29.99 [ Link ]
With those big holiday meals, you're always carrying dishes back and forth. This metal serving tray is practical and way more luxe-looking than its $30 price tag.
by Cost Plus World Market
Vintage Le Creuset French Oven by ethanollie - $32.00 [ Link ]
I was delighted to stumble upon this vintage Le Creuset dutch oven — it's so much cheaper than a new piece! While it is missing its lid, I think it would be a perfect serving bowl. That blue color is a classic.
by Etsy
Gold Coffee Spoons - $72.00 [ Link ]
I remember the days when I hated all things gold. Now I can't get enough of it (when done right). These coffee spoons come in a matte gold finish. They're the perfect way to end a day of indulgence.

Fleur De Lys Serving Bowl, Square - $38.00 [ Link ]
The ruffles make this Fleur De Lys Serving Bowl so feminine and sweet. The white glaze and square shape make it practical — and turn your favorite sweet potatoes into the star of the table.
by Anthropologie
Distressed Gold Wine Bucket - $49.00 [ Link ]
This distressed gold wine bucket sure looks vintage. It's a lovely way to chill your bottles of white vino.
by Pottery Barn
Ceramic French Franc Bistro Dish - $10.95 [ Link ]
Inspired by French bistro dishes, these little plates are big charmers. They may even attract more comments than the pumpkin pie.
by Mothology
Two Vintage Fireking Cups, Neon Lemon Yellow by The Cupcake Kid - $26.00 [ Link ]
There's no mistaking which mug is yours, or where you left it, when it's a bright punch of yellow. These stackable vintage mugs are so fun.
by Etsy
Olivewood Salad Servers - $35.00 [ Link ]
I'm a big fan of wooden serving utensils; they feel so much more special than plastic. These olivewood salad servers are so lovely. I just wish there were a faster (read: dishwasher-friendly) way to clean wood!
by Henry Road
Brass Chambestick Vintage Candle Holders by Lolo Vintage - GBP 7.50 [ Link ]
Of all the candles in the land, tapers feel the most romantic to me. These vintage brass candlestick holders would be perfect for displaying some creamy white tapers. I also love how candlelight instantly makes a crowded table of people feel much more intimate.
by Etsy
Wood Cutting Board, Long - $80.00 [ Link ]
This handcrafted wood cutting board adds an artisanal quality to the table. I'd use it for cheeses and breads.
by General Store
Kate Aspen Topiary Place Card Holder - $19.99 [ Link ]
Thanksgiving has a way of turning anyone into a place card–using, centerpiece-creating hostess. My favorite way to formally create a seating arrangement is with some greens. These affordable mini topiaries are designed to hold place cards. They're so sweet!
