A Few Ideas For Your Thanksgiving Feast

Monday, November 23, 2009

When it comes to the Thanksgiving table, I like it simple and organic, using things you might be able to find by walking out your back door or going to the local supermarket.  Here are a few ideas I found that are beautiful, simple and easy.

Sunset magazine has alot of ideas.  I like the simplicity of this leaf placecard.


Another magazine that has a plethora of ideas is Country Living magazine.  Since Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks I like this idea of writing quotes of gratitude on thin strips of paper and fastening them to wine or water glasses using double-sided tape.  You can invite each of your guests to read their quotes aloud.


For this one, I just loved the rich look of blue hobnail glasses mixed with browns and the added touch of pheasant feathers.  Another Country Living magazine idea I found via perfect bound.


I love this idea of creating a bouquet with items found at your local supermarket.  This idea is a favorite find of mine this year and I'm going to use this for my Thanksgiving table.  You can visit Design Sponge for all the arrangement details.
