Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October.
We were fortunate to have had two dinners last weekend to celebrate this special holiday.
On Saturday evening, my parents hosted the larger family gathering at their house with a delicious ham and scalloped potatoes dinner.
On Sunday, I prepared a traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings for a much smaller group.

Of course, whether the gathering is for a few or many, the table should be set to reflect the significance of the occasion. This silver turkey from HomeSense made the perfect centerpiece.
It was placed on a clear pedestal cake plate and nestled amongst a faux berry wreath along with some glittered pumpkins and silver wire balls.
A square silver candle and a mercury glass candleholder were placed on each side of the turkey centerpiece.
Place settings were created using white and orange dishes on a silver charger.

The sideboard was decorated to compliment the colours used on the table.
Silver candlesticks and ...
...orange mini-pumpkins
with tall branches and more pumpkins in the corner.
Though we were few in numbers, we celebrated in style and of course, were thankful for the meal and our many blessings.
I hope all my fellow Canadians had a wonderful Thanksgiving and wish my American friends all the best for their upcoming holiday in November.
Thanks for stopping by!
