No Table is Complete Without a Centerpiece!



I believe that no table is complete without a centerpiece. We might not have a huge group for the holidays anymore, as we did when my brother and I were much younger...but we still use the Holidays as a time to sit at the formal dining table and enjoy our meal! We are that family that has serving ware and such for specific holidays, and Thanksgiving is not different! Along with stuff we purchased, my mother makes these AMAZING centerpieces. I cannot wait to show you guys the ones she makes for Christmas. She did a specific to Thanksgiving one and she has several fall ones around the house currently (although, they will be coming down today and tomorrow for Christmas decorations).




The fall ones are so cute...fall color flowers and in a pumpkin. Our two centerpieces for our dining table were so perfect. One was the traditional cornucopia and the other was a turkey with fall colors and a little scarecrow in it. She is so talented with these pieces! We keep telling her she should open her own Etsy shop and sell them. Or at least teach me...so that I can post a step by step and video!

Making our Thanksgiving table was fairly simple. We used the centerpieces to break up the length of the table. And placed the napkin holder and salt/pepper shakers in the center-ish. The turkey went in the middle on the platter and the sides were placed in Thanksgiving themed serving dishes surrounding the turkey. The platter of potatoes and the wine are off to the side. We passed around the dishes and served ourselves!


What do you all think? Would you buy one of these? How much would you be willing to spend? She would make each one custom to order, if we can ever convince her to do so!
