Fall Entertaining Essentials:: Thanksgiving Edition

I have only cooked one Thanksgiving so far and there were so many moving parts that by the time we sat down to our late dinner I was almost to exhausted to eat.  This year I will be playing sous chef/kitchen help/lead baker and I will focus more on setting the table, something that I love to do just as much as being in the kitchen. I am envisioning a setting with flowers and flickering candles, an over-flowing cheese plate and hints of gold here and there. Here are some of my picks to create this setting.

Porcelain Pie Plate / Oxo Wire Dough Pastry Blender

Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons / William Sonoma Mulling Spice

Dean & Deluca Cinnamon Infused Maple Syrup / Marchesa by Lenox Gold Flatware

Brooklyn Slate Company Cheese Board / Nielson Massey Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract

Marimekko Luminary Napkins / Handmade Beeswax Candle / Fall Copper Cookie Cutters
