Gorgeous Ghords and Perfect Pumpkins: Decorating for Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving two weeks away, 
I've had decorating on the mind!  
Even though we won't be hosting the 
Holiday at our home this year, 
I'd still like to share some signs 
of the season.

{IDEAS FOR YOUR TABLE}

Using candles of different heights amongst sugar pumpkins, ghords, sticks, and leaves creates an elegant arrangement for a beautiful Thankgiving table.

This center arrangement is stunning and simple to create.  Using your everyday table runner and centerpiece bowl, add apples and pears along with pumpkins of different sizes and colors.  Measure the length of your table and add 2'-0" to the total.  Then head to your local craft store and find two ribbons that you love and complement your decor ~ one ribbon should be wider than the other.  Once back at home, lay the ribbon on top of the runner (as seen above) and cut both ends into an upside 'V'. You want the ribbon 2' longer than your table length, so it hangs over each side 12".  Add artificial or real leaves to finish the look!

Or go with a simple Thanksgiving table decor using paper plates and 

turkey paper centerpieces.  Once the meal is over, just throw it all away.... 

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!
