Happy Turkey Day. Be nice to your mother-in-law.
I’ll be back at midnight to list all the Black Friday online deals. For now, here are a few posts to help with your festivities and shopping. I’m gonna go cook a turkey now.
Country Living created this tablescape using plain white pillar candles wrapped in felt with coordinating letters and table runner. Scatter some felt leaves and you have yourself a stunning (and affordable) display. Why not reuse the pillars for a similar look at Christmastime?
Oodlekadoodle used two table runners instead of placemats. I think this is a great look! Simple leaf-embellished candle holders and jars of nuts adorn the center.
Here’s yet another wonderful use for those glass containers found at nearly every hobby store. Simplified Bee placed a large candle inside and surrounded it with acorns for a nice centerpiece.
Good Housekeeping used this idea to create a cluster of candleholders in various sizes and with a variety of nuts for a stunning effect.
Eddie Ross opted for indian corn embellished candle holders. I think the burlap table runner makes a nice (and cheap!) accent. You could buy a few extra ears of corn and create a matching wreath!
Here’s the same indian corn idea shown in a tablescape with stenciled burlap (via Country Living). Bowls filled with nuts serve as candle holders.
Martha Stewart offers up a free leaf template for creating our own felt placemats. Love!
Pears anyone? Visit Taste of Home for the scoop on creating a pear centerpiece, complete with a few unique candleholders.
Lest we forget about the kids table, Blissfully Domestic has a round up of table ideas just for them!
