A Few Dinner Plates For A Thanksgiving Table

Many people back in the States have asked me what I'm doing on Thursday.I'm working.  Thanksgiving is an American holiday.If I had an oven/kitchen/apartment bigger than a shoebox, I would host a Thanksgiving dinner but on Saturday (which is what the majority of expats do here).My future apartment will have more space and I will entertain more.In the meantime, I can admire these lovely plates that would be perfect for my Thanksgiving dinners.For an informal table:The Marbury Dinnerware Collection from Crate and Barrel.  You can put a charger underneath with more color or a pattern.The Charlotte Street Collection from Kate Spade.  I had to have at least one white plate with blue trim. The Eclectique Dinner plate from Williams-Sonoma.   It's a pretty dish made in France. For a more formal table:The Renaissance Collection by Wedgewood.    A classic.Anmut Platinum by Villeroy & Boch.   One word... elegant. The American Dinner plate by Hermès.    The blues are gorgeous.Hmmm, not seeing a lot of variety here.I do appreciate china with flowers but for my table I tend to keep it simple because my floral arrangements are colorful.  Also, I like to mix and match my dinnerware.  Having plates in a similar color palette makes the table more cohesive.For those who are celebrating, I hope you have a fantastic and Happy Thanksgiving.
