This vintage Thanksgiving table setting with transferware was a pleasure to put together. I hope it inspires you to use items you already own for beautiful Thanksgiving decor.
Vintage Thanksgiving Table Setting
If you know me, you know I’ll find a way to decorate the whole home with vintage treasures. The same applies to Thanksgiving table settings.
This year I incorporated many of my vintage items that I collect.
And I wanted to figure out a nice Thanksgiving table setting that wouldn’t cost much.
Let me show you what I came up with.
I wanted to only use items I already owned, and I pulled it off.

I scored a set of 14 beautiful vintage pressed glasses at a local antique store perfect for wine and water glasses, so I used them.
Here are similar glasses on Amazon:
See those vintage silver candle sticks? I bought the pair for just $5 during the recent town tag sale, which is such a score.
The wire bread basket was a tag sale find. You can find a similar one online:
I bought the orange tablecloth at Kohl’s years ago, and I uncovered the twig placemats in a box I haven’t seen in years because it was in my attic.
The white Mikasa Italian Countryside plates were a gift.
I picked up 8 of these vintage transferware plates at the Women’s Club tag sale I blogged about. The brown color is perfect for Thanksgiving.
I forget where I bought four of these vintage Oneida knives, but I just love them. They add so much more charm than contemporary silverware. Why not mix and match!
I paired them with vintage cotton napkins I bought along with the glasses last weekend — perfect timing, because I don’t usually have ironed napkins lying around.
Do you like my little touch of green from our yard?
I wanted to create a simple place card and decided to use some cardstock tags, off-white ribbon, and a little wooden clips that I use to package my soy candles.
I’m sure you could do something similar with supplies you already have.
Our Thanksgiving table wouldn’t be complete without Bleasdale wine from Australia.
Unfortunately, we’re not related — how cool would that be? — but we do have family in Australia.
The odd thing is the “Bremen” connection — notice the word Bremerview — because I grew up in Bremen, Germany.
I uncovered the birds nest in the same box as the placemats, and I bought those ceramic salt and pepper birds at Pier1 on sale a while ago.
I love to go shopping there after Christmas to pick up amazing deals for often just pennies.
I’m pretty happy with my low-cost, vintage Thanksgiving table setting.
If you are on a budget or don’t want to shop for new items, I bet you can come up with a very pretty Thanksgiving tablescape with items you already own.
What is you favorite part of Thanksgiving?
