As November settles in, we’re thinking about the table—the soft light, the quiet layers, the little rituals that make everyone feel welcome. This month’s Elsie’s Eight is the anatomy of a Thanksgiving table: the simple pieces that do the heavy lifting without fuss—linen you want to touch, brass that catches the candlelight, a vessel that makes a handful of stems feel special, vintage flatware with a story.

Think of it as a gentle checklist for a beautiful, lived-in table. Start with one or two, mix in what you already have, and let the evening unfold slowly.
