Simplify Your Thanksgiving Decorating
November 08, 2012
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I have been thinking of
simple ways to utilize what I have and bring Fall into our Home.
This season I have chosen to showcase some beloved treasures.
My Grandmother's Hutch, my Mother's lead glass bowl, along
with some handcrafted decorator pieces from my three talented
daughters!
A cozy little spot in our family room needed some Autumn color.
Thanksgiving is the time to share the things we are thankful
for so I have added some sweet ceramics to this vintage
sewing machine that was my grandmothers. My daughter
Amanda, hand painted this delicate creamer which is just
perfect for a small bouquet of sunflowers. Rebecca my youngest
child decorated this polka dot bowl which turned out to be a
perfect spot for a pie pumpkin.
These are two ivy topiary that I have had for several years. I
purchased natural burlap from the JoAnn Fabrics and twine
from Home Depot. I placed the topiary on top of the burlap,
did a rough measurement, then cut the burlap and tied twine
around the Terra cotta base. Gives them the earthy look that I
like for this time of the year.

I then placed them on each side of my Thanksgiving centerpiece.
My Grandmother's beautiful Antique Hutch, provides the
backdrop for these two lovely handmade golden Chevron plates,
which my daughter, Samantha, painted for me. I chose to use
orange, gold, and white as my decor theme for this piece. I love
how I was able to use this old antique serving plate to place my
metallic pumpkins on. I spray painted an old grapevine basket
gold then tucked in various colors of leaves to achieve a cohesive
decor.
Fall flowers from you local florist or market are a wonderful way
to add color and texture to any spot in your home. I like to put
mine in a clear glass vase and then nestle them into a interesting
vessel. In order to bring more Fall to my table I placed mini
pumpkins into a treasured lead glass bowl.
