Welcome to November’s Curated Finds!
As the air turns crisp and we gather around tables filled with warmth and delicious food, I’m excited to share this month’s collection—perfect for Thanksgiving and holiday entertaining.
I’ve curated beautiful tabletop essentials and serving pieces that will make your gatherings truly special. And this month’s most popular find? A sourdough starter for under $10, descended from a 200-year-old starter in San Francisco—the home of sourdough! It’s the perfect time to begin your bread-baking journey or gift one to someone ready to try their hand at homemade sourdough. Don’t forget to pick up a bread oven too!
Each item has been carefully selected to bring beauty and ease to your holiday season.
Let’s make this season delicious together!

TABLETOP
Setting the tone with this burnt orange, maple leaf jacquard tablecloth just makes sense. Perfect for Thanksgiving.
Magnolia’s Stone White Lakelynn line is a favorite of mind and whether it is the pasta bowl or dinner plate, they are on my table all the time.
Finish your tablescape with gold toned flatware. The antique gold is beautiful and accents the stoneware perfectly.
Elevate your tablescape with these beautiful gold trimmed wine glasses, cocktail glasses and water glasses. Just stunning.
My newest obsession are these reusable loaf pan lifters. Making breads and loaf pan cakes has never been easier and getting them out of the pan is now a breeze. Try them when making my Carrot Apple Zucchini Bread or my Cottage Cheese Bread with Oatmeal or my infamous Cranberry, Walnut, Pumpkin Bread this holiday season.
Nothing better than a festive muffin or mini cake. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, dessert and any holiday buffet. I’ve found two I really like: The NordicWare caklet pan has great fall shapes and if you prefer silicone, this fall cakelet pan option looks fab!
These holiday cookie cutters are perfect to use from now through Thanksgiving and you’ll have them for years to come.
Make your own mini hand pies with this 6-piece Fall Harvest Pie Mold set. Kids will love (and so will you!) On sale now for 30% off.
Elevate your fall baking with this autumn themed loaf pan from Wayfair- a beauty.
If you are making any sour dough this fall, you’ll need a sour dough starter. This 200 year-old start from San Francisco comes with a family story that I love. (Read all about it in the link above) For under $10, you’ll have the beginning of incredible homemade sour dough. FREE SHIPPING too!
Then, to wrap up all my treats this year, I’m loving these gold star boxes complete with twine and tags. Perfect for gift giving.

This charcuterie board has everything I love – ample space for food, dips and condiments too. It comes with your choice of 2-8 coasters too. Customized, it would make a great holiday give too.
Never let your bread get cold again! Serve warm bread in this handmade bread warmer basket. Your guests will love it (and so will you). It also makes a great holiday gift (give this with the Sour Dough starter for the perfect gift for the baker in your life).
It is never too early to start checking all the basics for Thanksgiving entertaining (before the store run out) so I’ve found some early “must haves” that you can grab now. But first, I fell in love with these multi-color pumbkin card holders that will make seating fun PLUS, I’m going to let my guests take them home as favors – fun!
I always seem to need a new baster and having jumbo turkey lifter forks makes the job so easy. This stainless steel set is a steal at $12.99. The turkey embossed platter will allow you to serve your turkey in style.
When it comes to gravy boats, I always need several. My turkey gravy is good and goes fast and I like to have one at each each end of the table. I’m add this gravy boat with warner this year (makes so much sense). But, I’ll also have a couple of standard gravy boats too.
Still using foil roasting pans from the grocery store? (You know who you are!!! 😂 ) Let’s upgrade to a high quality Cuisinart roasting pan with rack. You buy it once and have it a lifetime. You’ll thank me every Thanksgiving!
I’ve had these pumpkin cocottes for years. I use them all fall for soups and stews and always on Thanksgiving. I’ve them and they are always a great addition to my table. If you are serving a large group, having a cast iron dutch oven in the shape of a pumpkin can be a great addition. Serve it right in the middle of the table, family-style, and let the party begin. Thanksgiving and more will be so festive with this addition.
The holidays are right around the corner and you’ll be entertaining for sure. This hand carved Pennsylvania Walnut Serving board will come in handy for every occassion. A little rustic and a little elegant, I envision cheese and wine all season long!
