1. Detail of Tropical Garden Tablecloth. How’s this for a festive (and versatile) Thanksgiving tablecloth! While abundant flora usually brings spring to mind, by pulling out the richer oranges, ochres and greens in this print, you can easily play up a vision of autumn bounty. This cloth, along with all Saffron Marigold textiles, is 100% cotton, hand printed, and fair-traded.
2. Bowls, Earthborn Pottery. While you’re at it – exploring the vibrancy of fall, that is – why not add to the fun with these beautifully glazed , organically shaped stoneware bowls. If you’re interested in one of a kind – and I think many Saffron Marigold customers are – then these may be just what you’re looking for.
3. Floral Centerpiece, Peppertree Floral and Events. Our flora-scape wouldn’t be complete without a lovely natural centerpiece. You can re-create this one by combining varieties of dark red tulips, bi-colored orange and yellow roses, yellow freesia and Ilex berries. Set these beauties off in a vase, a well loved watering can, or even a hollowed out pumpkin. By the way, these flowers, or similar counterparts can be found at most local florists.
4. Sweet Potato Pie, Real Simple. I have a friend who makes the best sweet potato pie. She uses a recipe on a well worn card, handed down from her Southern grandma. This recipe from Real Simple highlights the same citrus notes that my friend’s pie does, and looks – well – easy as pie to put together!

I think these linens call for beautiful red flowers and maybe white china. Beautiful!
Tropical Garden makes me happy! I would pair it with my yellow dishes, some square, some round, for a more eclectc look. And the centerpiece would be a riot of every color of flower in my Bauer green vase.
Ooh, my pretty Thanksgiving pie pan would look gorgeous sitting on top of that tablecloth…!
I’m thinking that you could have a lot of fun with the little colored glass rocks (picking up the colors of the table cloth), an assortment of glass bottles/containers and some candles.
I think I would use pale yellow glass and red candles. Depending on how it looked small flecks of green might look nice mixed with the yellow glass though of course a green ribbon could always be glued to the outside bottom of the jars.
Alternatively there is a cake stand from Target that would look nice with the above products: Threshold™ Glass Cake Stand – Sun Eclipse. Filled with Passion or Star fruit you’d have a lovely and tasty focal point.
My favorie is a bowl of red camelias floating in a couple inches of water!
I would love these linens for a perfect family board game evening. We’ll be dishing out the pumpkin pie and passing the post-meal snacks just as game time starts, and this would be beautiful spread on the table. The perfect centerpiece? A game board, of course!
I wouldn’t want to put too much on that gorgeous fabric. Perhaps just some white candles on silver candelabras. Katie x
