Let’s Get This Thanksgiving Party Started!
First up is my friend Rachel from The Ponds Farm House. She is sharing A Fall Centerpiece perfect for your Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving Dining Table. It combines DIY and Vintage pieces for a unique table arrangement.
Don’t you love those paper leaves? Well, Rachel will show you exactly how you can make them.
Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and celebrate with friends and family.
One of my favorite traditions is decorating my Thanksgiving table with my homemade cornucopia. First, I created this basket out of chicken wire, burlap, and rope. Next, I filled the basket with pumpkins, gourds, feathers, and flowers.
It’s a beautiful decoration that always gets me in the Thanksgiving spirit.
Next up is my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. You will be sure to wow your guests this Thanksgiving with an elegant, easy-to-make pumpkin centerpiece utilizing a real heirloom pumpkin and fresh seasonal florals.
And the best part of her blog post is where she shares how you can make this beautiful arrangement yourself.
