gardening and enjoying life in Salem, Massachusetts
After all of my planning and good intention about decorations, and centerpieces, and name tags, it came down to four simple candles arranged by my little guy, great food and my wonderful family. That’s all that really matters, isn’t it?
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day was as blessed as mine was!
Love, Michele
Gosh I love Houzz. It is just so much fun to sit with a snack or cup of coffee for a few minutes and look over all of the ideas. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I like to make it special so I usually make place cards and decorate the table with a little twist. I need some inspiration this year so I spent a few minutes looking around Houzz.com this morning. I could post a thousand photos, but here are my favorites so far:
This first arrangement is just classic and pretty. I like the way the textures of the runner and ribbon accent the shapes of the pine cones.Beautiful pinecones and textures again, but with a little bit of glam…
I don’t have a mantel but I have a server that I could decorate like this. Simple and restful… I love it! And a different take on the idea,pumpkins that were painted white. The “white” centerpieces really allow the food to shine. Candles and acorns… More white (white seems to be all the rage this year) embedded with upholstery tacks… And finally, mason jars, candles, greenery and a nice natural wood base…At the moment I may use white pumpkins, pine cones,mason jars, candles and some greens, with some asparagus foliage for color.
I’ll keep you posted!
Love, Michele
