Happy Thanksgiving
At The Longest Stay, we know what Thanksgiving is all about: spending time with your family, giving thanks for all your blessings, football games, parades and, most importantly, food. Whether you’re going to be spending the day watching all the floats go by in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade or cheering on your favourite team, you’re all sure to be happy when the delicious stuffed turkey comes out. From preparing the meal, to eating as much as you can, to not being able to move afterwards, the food is central – and if the food is central so is the dining table. We’ve put together a small collection of items sure to help make an impressive dining table this Thanksgiving.
The table will most likely be overflowing with food, from the delicious turkey in the middle, to the pumpkin pie and the green bean casserole… And of course we can’t forget about the gravy or the cranberry sauce! In any case, it’ll be a little crowded – and with plates and bowls being passed all over the place for extra portions, wine glasses can easily be knocked over. However, these Waterford Stemless Wine Glasses will make it less likely that your favourite red wine will be tipped over. Elegantly stylish with a contemporary twist, these glasses will make an excellent addition to your table.
Though we’re sure your Turkey Day meal will be so beautifully cooked that it will be the centre of attention, these stunning Royal Crown Derby Old Imari Plates will look fabulous on the dining table. With their autumnal colours and vibrant pattern, they will add an interesting visual to your table, even if your guests are so excited about their food that they don’t notice until after they’ve cleared their plates!
The first Thanksgiving is said to have been celebrated by the Pilgrims after the first harvest in the new world in 1621, so in keeping with the harvest festival theme of Thanksgiving, you might like to display a fruit and vegetable bowl on your table. The Edge Encore Basket will show off the vibrant colours of your fruit and vegetables excellently, while acting as an eye catching piece in itself. Thanksgiving can get a little hectic – a lot of your attention will go into creating the perfect meal, handing around everyone’s favourite drinks and ensuring there are no fights over cracking the wishbone. So it’s good to have a reminder of what you’re truly celebrating.
The Royal Crown Derby Autumn Squirrel and Winter Owl will make perfect table decorations, adding a much needed drop of festive cheer. Thanksgiving, after all, symbolises the start of the holiday season! We know there isn’t going to be all that much space when the food is served, so these ornaments are ideal due to their small size. With their intricate detailing, they are bound to bring a touch of holiday sparkle to your meal. There are more ornaments in the Royal Crown Derby collection, so take your pick for a more personal Thanksgiving table.
Hopefully you’ll now have a few ideas of how to dress your table on Thursday. From all of us here at The Longest Stay, Happy Thanksgiving!
