1.Detail of Memories of Shalimar tablecloth: A print with a strong Asian vibe, it is perfect for a global Thanksgiving dinner. With its navy blue, chocolate, green and gold tones, it is at once both elegant and sophisticated, yet muted enough to be the ideal backdrop for your dinnerware and accessories.
2. Sango brown dinnerware set, Overstock.com: This dinnerware set features a deep coup shape decorated with a sponge-like print with a handcrafted spin that results in an earthy rustic look from a potter’s wheel, emphasizing the hand made artisan feel of both. The soft sage green with tones of brown and cream really offset the green gold of the linens.
3. Green bean candle centerpieces: OK, so now how cool is this? Pick up a variety of green vegetables along with all your other Thanksgiving groceries like green beans, asparagus, and artichokes. Place a rubber band around a candle so it’s snug. Then stick your green beans or asparagus spears inside the rubber band. Finish by tying a ribbon around the candle to hide the rubber band. You can also pry open the top of an artichoke and place a candle inside.
4. Caramelized Pears, Myrecipes.com: These in-season pears poached to a perfect golden hue make the perfect dessert accessory to these linens, and they can be made well ahead of time. Chocolate sorbet adds a deep, rich flavor note. Or for a more decadent touch, serve up with vanilla ice cream.

Simply beautiful color!!! Makes me glad I haven’t pick out my paint yet to paint my kitchen
Yes, isn’t it a lovely color? I can just imagine how gorgeous a soft yellow green will look on your kitchen walls with the sunlight streaming in….!
I would use my antique wooden butter bowl, filled with pine cones and yellow fall berries. Perfect with candles and simple dishes.
We moved to a new home in September with a large dinning roommate. For the first time we can use the Green Memories of Shalimar tablecloth we bought over a year ago large enoough to use with the 3 leaves put in the table. We will use good China my parents bought in Germany many years before they passed away. Also pottery serving bowls from our international collection and antique cut glass and hand blown glasses dessert plates. Our table is set on a Persian carpet and the table centerpiece will be flowers in a handmade antique Persian brass vase with old Persian brass candle sticks to bring out the beautiful gold ink of the tablelinens. Although Thanksgiving is an American Holiday we will bring an international feel to the day by using interesting and beautiful decorations from around the world and inviting a Japenese co-worker intern to share with our family.
Diane, your table setting sounds beautiful! With the world getting smaller each day and our daily lives getting enriched with the customs and traditions other nationalities bring to this country, I think your Thanksgiving table will be the such a beautiful example of that. I envy your Japanese co-worker, what a wonderful way to celebrate this holiday! And please do send us pictures of your table, we would love to see it.
Taking a cue from the Beatles, “All you need is love, love. Love is all you need,” as long as your table is covered in this exotic garden delight. I would bathe my table in golden, shimmering table wear, including the simple things in life – white candle pillars set in mossy goodness.
The table would look great with elements from outdoors. Painted branches in a tall vase and votives made of cranberries and ribbon.
So pretty. So this tablecloth on my table as I’m sitting having a cup of tea, looking out my window.
I’m usually not a fan of anything gold, but something with gold candles would be nice here.
I love this set up! Got cobalt blue dinnerware that I know would look awesome with this green table runner on my warm oak table.
