La Familia Scribe added a wee touch of Martha Stewart to our holiday table yesterday. The hollowed-out gourds at each place setting hold votive candles. Saw this cute touch on TV~Kathy Lee & Hoda, I believe. Acquired the lillies & sunflowers at the local grocery store, on sale. The china & silverware are mine.
The antique spinning wheel in the corner, though, isn't a Scribe concoction at all. It's the real deal. Mr. Fairway's grandmother brought it all the way from Norway when she immigrated at the turn of the last century.
Of course, we ate too much & now our fridge is overflowing with food-stuffed Tupperware. If anyone has a couple of good recipes for Thanksgiving leftovers, please send them this way!

Love that TG table !
Can't get enough of those mini pumpkins (I think Martha uses them as soup bowls)...I'm so lousy with leftovers. We make loads of sandwiches, sometimes open face with gravy. Boring.
Just my favorite sub sandwich -- turkey meat, stuffing and cranberry sauce!
Non too original but I love a turkey sand with stuffing, mayo, cranberry sause and a smidge of gravy on white bread..yum
You've told us about the table settings and decorations, butg I'd like to know more about that spinning wheel sitting in the corner. What's the story? I'm sure you can spin us a good yarn!
I love the table setting, it looks so cozy and reminds me of big family dinners... Sorry, no TG leftover recipes from me, but it sounds like you enjoyed the actual meal.
:D

It's a lovely Thanksgiving table setting. Nicely done.
For recipes... I love this site http://allrecipes.com. It has a Tex/Mex Turkey Soup that sounds delish.
The table looks gorgeous!! Nicely done indeed, all you creative folks.
I'm with Magical though, I want to hear more about the spinning wheel - love it.
Your table looks fantastic!
And I love the spinning wheel too. How lucky are you to have such a precious heirloom in your house?!
As for the leftover recipes, I have no idea. But if you're a Friends fan, you could make Ross's turkey sandwich, with the extra slice of bread in the middle, soaked in gravy. The moist maker! :)
What a lovely table!!
Today for dinner, I'm going to bake a French loaf (refrigerated roll), then cut in half. Mix diced up turkey with BBQ sauce and place on bread, and top with some mozzerella cheese. Place in oven til cheese melts! BBQ turkey French loaf pizza! Easy peasy!
The table is beautiful! Glad it was a good day.
Oh, how gorgeous. I'm glad you had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner, I'm sure I have a great Turkey leftover recipe, I'll look it out and post it tomorrow. xx
Your table looked great! No recipes. I have gotten much better at making just the right amount and we only have Turkey leftover and we like palin old sandwiches.
How very appropriate. I like this one a lot. You must have had a wonderful Thanksgiving feast at this elegant table. Leftovers? We're just going to nuke 'em today and enjoy the same fare as yesterday -- without all the cleanup.
Gorgeous table!!
Check out a good recipe on my blog today:-)
Beautiful post!
Happy weekend reflections,

Beautiful! I had fun taking pics of our table too--it was more kid friendly than yours. There will be time for elegance later. :-)
Post those leftover recipes if you get them!

That is a nice reflection on the plate. Lovely table
Your table looks lovely, and the reflection in the dinner plate is perfect. Kathy
Nice photo, like the reflection and the angle of the shot.
My Mum always used to make Homemade Turkey Soup from the Bones.
Now I am hungry
What a nice table! I can picture it full of wonderful Thanksgivings food!
... Visit my contribution "Where does reality end?"
I would like to suggest that you didn't eat ENOUGH, otherwise your fridge would not be so full! ;D
Isn't it lovely to think of all the wonderful reasons to be thankful??
ORANGE!
The table looks great! I have a stuffed 'fridge, too...it will be many weeks of turkey stew, turkey noodle soup, turkey casserole, turkey sandwiches....
A very nice touch indeed for Thanksgiving. I can read that you have received already a large number of ideas for the leftovers... :-)
Martha Stewart to the rescue! :)
lovely table. we have a restaurant called 'spin a yarn' here and it has a spinner framed on the wall. love that antique stuff! i try to give away as much leftover as possible, so i don't have to deal with it.
I love the votive holders; simple, but very effective. And I am very impressed that you have sunflowers on the table at this time of year, you must have very greeen fingers!
Lovely Thanksgiving reflections ... beautiful table setting ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
Yea... we don't tend to "do" anything with the leftovers except just re-do the orginal meal - except in fewer items at a time. And then I usually DO make turkey soup. I'm not really big on turkey sandwiches -- not THAT kind anyway. Turkey lunch meat is my favorite though! LOL!
Anyway... it's a lovely reflection!
I like the colour scheme of the table, the reflections are nice too
Lovely table. I love turkey soup: boil the carcass, pick off the meat & put it back in the pot with the broth, add left over gravy and cut up onions & celery. Cook till the vegies are almost done, add noodles & cook till everything is tender. Make a big pot!
Love the light and colour of your Thanksgiving table. The glow from the gourds warms the entire room.
The spinning wheel from Norway is a wonderful heirloom to pass on down the family line.
lovely table indeed..
hope you had great time..
Lovely table ~ I like the reflection of the pine needles on the tabletop. Pretty.
