Thanks Giving and fall ...Lovely ideas for your home decor and festive table

Hi there ....just thought I would share some of the lovely Thanksgiving decor ideas I just love 

​Isn't this pumpkin centre piece amazing and so easy to achieve 

Go to your local supermarket or pumpkin patch ...there is a lovely store called Whole Foods here in Alabama, USA... that have a huge array of styles and colors to choose from 

Scoop out a small circle in the centre big enough to house a circular or square piece of floral oasis that you have soaked in water and pop it in the hole 

Pop outside and find lots of interesting greenery ...if you don't have a yard then go to the nearest woodland and you will be so surprised at the interesting foliage you will find ...some small white pumpkins..(my favorite) and if you are lucky and you can find some Chinese pumpkin lantern flowers ..that would be wonderful ..if you can't find fresh pumpkins you could use plastic ones from the craft store
Don't forget to water the flowers and foliage now and again 

You can of course ..spray paint your pumpkins to whatever color you like and as in the photo above go mad and encrust it with beads, sequins etc.....
Another very simple and quick centre piece that gives a Wow!....is a lovely piece of old barn wood along the centre of the table and decorate with simple candles and fruits and pumpkins ...so quick and easy to achieve..if you don't have a suitable piece of wood a lovely table runner would look great or just go and buy a wide roll of burlap (sacking), that would look really rustic

Make your buffet table really special ..use pumpkins of all kinds as stands for your food platters ..making an arrangement very pleasing to the eye ....

Again a very simple but gorgeous idea ...just hollow out a small circle in the top of the pumpkin enough to fit the candle in tight and snug so that it won't lean or tip over ...some lovely faux berries and it's just beautiful...don't forget to keep an eye on the candles ...don't leave them burning in a room alone and a nice plate or similar underneath will stop the wax dripping down on to your favorite table or linens

Just the simplest of ideas ....lovely glass bowls, candles, and handfuls of nuts ...a few conifer fir tree branches ..voilé perfect !!

Another neat idea is to use brown parchment paper ...from the craft store and write ' I am thankful for: ' in your best script ..a few lines and it makes the most unique part of a place setting ..also a conversation piece ...from yet another simple idea 

I like seasonal orange but I LOVE browns and creams for a thanksgiving table most of all ..so elegant

Super cute and simple idea for candle holders 

Make these cute tags weeks before and your guests will really appreciate all the lovely detail you have included to make their time with you extra special

Love, Love, Love this idea ..Walnut halves ...emptied out and filled with salt and pepper for each personal table setting ...very cute and very practical too 

This arrangement just makes me joyous ....so lovely to look at and quite easy to achieve ..have a go !!

Hope some of these ideas will help you use your own imagination 

To make your table extra special this year ....

Your guests will feel so special 

When they see all the trouble you have taken 

To make the day extra special 

Enjoy making your decorations 

Happy Days 

See you soon
