Shop your home for your centerpiece!

No matter how lavish or simple you want your table to be for Thanksgiving... you probably have all you need for the centerpiece or entry table in and around your home!  Just take a look around and pick a favorite object from your shelves or side tables.  It can be a vase, a book, a piece of china, a bowl.

Walk outside and cut a branch or find some greenery, holly berries, camellias, or some bare sticks and bring them in!  If you feel that you need a few new items for your decor, there are many markets and stores that carry what you need (wear your mask!) and you don't have to spend a lot!   Its a special year, so make the best of this memorable Thanksgiving. 

How to transform a favorite urn into a glorious centerpiece 
See how in my video below:


Key elements to consider for Fall Holiday decorating...a guideline

These suggestions will help you make decorating decisions quickly and decisively!
  • Choose 3 colors – Then choose your items in those colors and hues of those three colors.
  • Focal point- Choose the largest item to sit in the middle or off to one side. A vase, an urn, candle, etc.
  • Layers – Pick two or three items and stack or layer them or group them together.

  • A pop of color – Select one item that has a brighter color that will make the table “pop”.
  • Texture – Contrast a textured item against something sleek or shiny (like a vase).
  • Height – Add items of varying heights so the eye travels around the piece; choose something tall to bring the eye up high, such as tall flowers or tall candle holders, and fill in with your shorter/smaller items.

Let's set the table!

I have fond memories of helping my mother and grandmother set the table as a child.  But in today's world, many of us are eating at the kitchen bar, or in front of the tv, or at our desk.  Thanksgiving might be one of the few times we completely set the table. Let's "take a moment" and look at three basic table settings - basic, casual, and formal. I've provided diagrams so you can see where to place each plate, napkin and fork.
