Casual Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas

For years, my Blog readers and Social Media Followers have watched me travel across the United States, and even Europe, collecting Antiques and Vintage. I often get asked, “what do you DO with all that stuff?” Easy answer! I love to incorporate Antiques and Vintage into my daily living. From home decor to my clothing to my table decorations, I mix Antiques and Vintage with Modern decor to create unique looks. Sometimes the Thanksgiving Table Decor is Formal, and sometimes is more Rustic.

I love scouring Flea Markets, Antique Shows and Estate Sales for pretty things. And while some finds end up for sale at our Antique Booth at Benny Jack Antiques in Dallas, our booth at Forestwood Antique Mall in Dallas, online in my Living with Vintage Shop, or on my @CuriousCowgirlVintage Instagram Account, I keep many of my finds. One of my favorite uses for Vintage is in my table decorations.

I love the sustainability of using Vintage Table Decor. It’s never a bad idea to make a choice that is better for our planet, and buying Vintage is one way to reduce unnecessary use of natural resources. Buying something that has already been produced, reduces the demand for yet-to-be-produced goods.

But, I get that many of you don’t want to hunt, scour or search! Flea Markets and Antique Malls are not your jam.

The good news is, I’ve done al the hard work for you. I hope you will shop with me!

Let the images below inspire you!

How to Shop My Vintage Finds

Many of the pieces I am showing in this Living With Vintage Series, including in this Casual Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas post are for sale! How can you see what’s available? First check out my Living With Vintage Online Store. I add new items almost every day!

If you have an Instagram Account, you will want to follow me! I often showcase new finds there. My handle is @TheCuriousCowgirl.

I showcase items in my Feed, and in my Stories. Be sure and watch my “Stories”. If you are not familiar with Stories, here’s how to find them. When you are in your Home Feed, which means the little house on the bottom left corner is black, you are in your Home Feed. At the top of your screen, you see rows of circles with red around them. Those are Instagram Stories, and the red means there is something new to watch. Stories feels a lot like watching a slide show.

We now have two antique mall booths! One at Benny Jack Antiques on Riverfront in the Dallas Design District, and the second at Forestwood Antique Mall in Dallas near the Galleria.

Looking forward to helping you create a beautiful Thanksgiving Table with Rustic Thanksgiving Table Decor!
