Thanksgiving Day
Once you have decided to decorate your home and more importantly table for Thanksgiving, there are many ideas you can get to wow your guests!
From the porch to the tablescape, you can use pumpkins and gourds, fresh greens from the garden, plus your own handmade items too.
It is obviously essential that you prepare where the guests are going to sit and how easily they will be able to access the food, but also add a little something special to the Thanksgiving table settings.
Get Your Recipes Sorted

Traditional recipes from the traditional turkey to delicious potatoes and even mouthwatering desserts deserve to be surrounded by delightful fall decor.

Even if you have two people or twelve, adding a little something to the table, can make the day feel really extraordinary.
Thanksgiving Centerpieces
There are so many excellent ideas for centerpieces that include large displays of flowers, sticks, stacked pumpkins, and more.
You can be creative in your own way and create something unique to your own personal style, whether that includes handmade items, naturally found items from the garden or forest floor, or buy flowers.
A huge centerpiece is ideal if you have space, with many different types of flowers and seasonal greens added in.
If you want to make something smaller, glass jars filled with fairy lights, pine cones, and acorns will also fit the mood.
