1. Detail of Ruby Kilim Tablecloth. The deep reds and rich creams of this rustic, Turkish-inspired cloth bring all the color of a traditional Thanksgiving to your table, along with an ethnic twist. I have to say, after however many years of the same old, same old, I think we’re all ready for a little something different!
2. Handmade Stoneware Teapot Set, by patspottery, Etsy. The warm, chocolaty temmoku glaze on these pieces will contrast nicely with the bright reds of the Kilim cloth, and highlight darker areas of the pattern. These are beautiful, well-made pieces, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy your after dinner tea even more, poured from such a lovely pot.
3. Feather Centerpiece, by Denise of Little Pheasant. Wow – this is beautiful. The floral designer who crafted this did twenty or so for a friends’ wedding. She gives general instructions on her blog, but a tutorial on wreath making might help too. A good one can be found here.
4. Turkish Roasted Eggplant Salad, by Almost Turkish. This cold salad combines eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, parsley and vinegar. Crusty warm bread is an essential companion. Add this to the collection of traditional side-dishes at your Thanksgiving table, and you’re sure to catch the interest of your guests!

Great ideas here too! Love that table cloth. Have been looking for a machine washable one for my own dining room table this year.
Thanks, Miriam. These tablecloths really do wash so well. Swatches are really affordable (and large) if you’d ever like to
“touch” the fabric … that always seems to be so important to me when I’m considering textiles!
Take care,
Heidi
Thank you for the shout out Heidi. Lovely post! I want that cake
Thanks. I want the cake too! Maybe we can share.
Love the Ruby Kilim fabrics Heidi. Thanks for visiting my blog! xx
Hi Martine! I agree, Ruby Kilim is one of my favorites (especially for fall). And I’m so glad I discovered your blog… You seem like a very busy woman, yet you’ve made time to write about all sorts of inspiring ideas and decor!
Take care,
Heidi
I would use festive red dishes and maybe roses for a centerpiece. Lovely linens!
My favorite of all the collections is Ruby Kilim table linens!!! Love the festive colors!
For centerpiece, I would fill my wrought iron pumpkin holder with different colored gourds and surround with clear jars filled with cranberries as the candle holders.
Love the idea of the cranberry candle holders! Sounds perfect with Ruby Kilim.

These colors are gorgeous. They will complement my homemade ginger cranberry sauce that I’ll serve in a rose color depression era glass bowl. They would be beautiful for my newborn son’s welcoming ceremony, too, happening right after Thanksgiving!
Love the jewel toned tablecloth. I just says fall and is so welcoming. I would use my collection of old carved wood bed leg candles to add more texture and character to my Thanksgiving table.
White dishes would be set off beautifully on Ruby Kilim. And a black bowl to hold the cranberry sauce. A bautiful centerpiece would be a glass vase filled with cranberries anchoring some Fall branches with green leaves.
I would love the runner atop my buffet table between my window and the dining table.I have lots of Italian pottery to decorate atop it and to match the napkins on the table.I usually decorate with natural elements from my yard and fruit or gourds.
These are so beautiful.
Simple white dishes, and some fall fruits on a gold platter. Nothing fancy. The linens do it all.
All your products are wonderful, I hope to add more in my home soon! I would use these for both Thanksgiving and Xmas, the colors are so great! My centerpiece is always made from my children, and usually involve outdoor findings that morning. They included leaves, pinecones, fallen branches, just to name a few. They also make handprint turkeys at everyones place to show where to sit! I love involving the children, it makes for an amazing holiday!
This is such a pretty print! I would use it with a set of china that has been in my husband’s family for years and that we inherited from his parents.
Stunning, would be a welcome change this holiday season from the turkeys and santas!
I just moved into a new condo and am still settling in. It’s a small place, but it is my home. Honestly, I will use the Ruby Kilim table linens this Thanksgiving alone and just as they are. They are so colorful and unique on their own to be the only things needed for my table. My food will be the centerpiece and my regular dishes will be the settings. My unique table will be set by having my son, mother, and sister all together in one place. This is something that rarely happens. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Absolutely gorgeous linens!! I have a victorian house & boy, would this pattern rock my Thanksgiving table! The deep, rich colors are warm, inviting & complement the beautiful holiday foods this time of year. I can imagine how beautiful my antique Limoges dinnerware would look, along with my Waterford Crystal. For a more informal look, my vintage Stanglware, or my red Depression glass dinnerware. Along with a gorgeous festive centerpiece of seasonal flowers, gourds & candles.
my beautiful basket of pine cones would make a great centerpiece with this tablecloth!
Love your tablecloth sets, they’re beautiful! You guys are amazing and I appreciate the diversity of what you offer. Great great job!
