Won\u2019t be long and we will be setting our tables, baking pies and cakes, cooking up a storm, and relishing the time we spend with our family and friends!\u00a0 I love it all!\u00a0 Here are a few quick and easy ideas to add little special touches to your celebration!<\/p>\n

My table centerpiece is super simple!\u00a0 I simply added small pumpkins, dried hydrangeas from the yard, and baby\u2019s breath into a large glass hurricane.\u00a0 I love the blue of the flowers and the orange and white pumpkins together.\u00a0 The white turkeys are from Old Time Pottery\u2026aren\u2019t they great?!\u00a0 Then I scattered berries, dried seed pods, a few leaves, and little bronze birds that are place card holders around the hurricane and turkeys.\u00a0 It\u2019s simple, and that\u2019s important with so much to do!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The leaves are still beautiful here, so I clipped some branches, brought them in, and tucked them over plates and frames on the wall.\u00a0 The branches looked really nice simply standing in an old enamel pitcher, too. \u00a0They add so much color and warm up the room.<\/p>\n

Teacup flower arrangements are really easy and inexpensive to put together!\u00a0 Take your favorite teacups and add oasis inside the cups that has been soaked in water.\u00a0 You will need to cut the oasis to fit with a serrated knife.\u00a0 Then I added greenery from the garden into the oasis\u2026really fill it up.\u00a0 I used variegated cuttings from shrubbery, ivy, and clipping from nandina as the greenery.\u00a0 I also used the berries from nandina. \u00a0Using a $4 bouquet from Trader Joe\u2019s, I snipped the flowers\u00a0 to about 4\u201d- 6\u201d in length and added them in amongst the greenery.\u00a0 I finished them off by tucking a little Spanish moss around the edges.\u00a0 I do not claim to be a flower arranger, but these teacup arrangements turned out sweet, and they make a nice statement without spending lots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Treats and favors are always a fun touch!\u00a0 Just take your favorite paper basket, box, or bag and fill it with goodies!\u00a0 Here I used nuts and maple leaf cookies.\u00a0 Candies and small trinkets and toys would work as well.\u00a0 Something else our family loves is pretzel rods covered with candy bark and sprinkles!\u00a0 There is just something about the sweet and salty combination!\u00a0 After the candy coating hardened, I bagged the pretzel treats, and tied them with hemp and a cute acorn tag<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Hope you get even just a little inspiration from these ideas, but most of all I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
