1. Kilim Noir napkins – An exotic take on your traditional Thanksgiving linens. Here is something a little different – a bold, Turkish kilim inspired print in dramatic shades of gold, black and deep orange! Paired with some festive gold chargers and wine glasses with sparkling champagne, it will light up the room.
2. Terracotta cazuelas, La Tienda.com – These traditional cazuelas or terracotta dishes, bring a little bit of Spain right into your homes. They are perfect to serve tapas such as olives, almonds, caper berries or a hearty Fall soup, like a pumpkin or squash. The deep red glaze blends beautifully with the red of the print, and the earthy rustic finish complements the glamorous print.
3. Easy Fall centerpiece, Blissique Blog – Here is an easy idea for a stunning centerpiece. Purchase small grapevine rings to use as a base, or make your own by bending a piece of coat hanger into a circle. Next, wire on small stems of berries, leaves, and flowers using thin wire wound tightly around the base. Use fresh flowers that work with your color theme for a one-time-use decoration. Or find pretty silk blooms for a longer-lasting design.
4. Imam Bayildi, Turkishmeal.blogspot - Imam Bayildi literally translates to “The Imam fainted” and this is one of the most reknowned dishes of Turkey. I can tell you from experience that it is an absolute gastronomic masterpiece. Roasted eggplants are stuffed with onions, tomatoes, parsley and dill, and served warm with a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with some couscous and kebabs and you have a meal fit for a Caliph! Make sure to follow the recipe and read the story of why the Imam fainted.

I love the Kilim Noir table cloth! It would look gorgeous with gold tone charges and a lot of white pillar candles lit in the center! Beautiful!
Happy Deepavali to you too!
I have Saffron Marigold products throughout my New Jersey home, on the windows and beds, but the only table linen I have (red poppy) is quite old and stained at this point, and not up to the holiday finery. While I have a small extended family, I am blessed that all 20 of them are coming (some from thousands of miles away) for Thanksgiving dinner this year. It’s all the more poignant, given that we’re just getting back to normal after the Hurricane Sandy power outages. We weren’t sure if we’d be able to host this year, but — thanks to power companies from all over the country — we’re up and running. That said, my not-so-big house will be set up with folding tables in 3 rooms to accommodate us all. I would love to tie in the whole setting with your Kilm Noir products, with a cloth on the main dining room table and runners/napkins on the satellite seating areas. The striking, high contrast colors are so perfect for the holiday. I’d scatter some gourds and baby pumpkins and tea light candles. Together, over the beautifully set tables, we’ll gather to count our many blessings.
I would use them to warm and cozy up our dining room table. My headband and I have both sets of parents traveling to our home for the holiday. A special occasion indeed!
(Husband, not headband! Darn auto correct! : )
The kilim noir naplins and table runner would be perfect for my daughter’s Thanksgiving table. She has decided to host again this year and I would love to accent her table with these beautiful linens. Thanksgiving is my birthday so I am not sure if the gift should be hers or mine!
Erika Bleiberg is a good friend of mine. I would like to vote for her to win your beautiful linens.
