Our Thanksgiving Table

Can you smell the turkey roasting in the oven yet?

Here is my Thanksgiving centerpiece made from my white Goodwill bowl and the FREE gift from American Greetings of a burlap bag with decorator balls.

And here are my cordial glasses tea lights. Yes another Goodwill find and they were only .99 cents each. I placed a tea light in each one and set one at each place setting.

Love the Autumn Leaves pattern.

Oh and did you notice my Pottery Barn Napkin Rings???? I love them!

I found the dishes at Pier One Imports a couple of years ago.

Here is a close up of my “almost” free centerpiece.

The table is set and the only thing missing is the turkey!

I wish you and your family a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanksgiving Table Centerpiece And It is Almost FREE!

I stumbled on a great idea for a centerpiece for our Thanksgiving table today. And I usually don’t worry too much about a centerpiece. Usually I just light some candles but today I found a great centerpiece and it was almost for FREE! (and Free is good!) This also gives me a chance to show you another one of my Goodwill Finds. This time I was shopping in High Point, NC and saw a Goodwill store that I had never been in. It was very small and not much to pick from. It was nothing like the one closer to my home. But, I found a beautiful white bowl and it looked like it had a French fleur de lis motif. $1.99 is all I paid for it and I love it. That was a few weeks ago and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it until today.

American Greetings is having a FREE gift with the purchase of four cards. They are giving away a burlap/jute bag that is tied off with raffia and it is filled with an assortment of decorator balls! All of them are “earthy”. One is a ball covered with jute twine, a few look liked dried seed pods and some have a grapevine look to them. All of them are fabulous!

I wanted my centerpiece to look full and like the balls were spilling out of the bowl but it was a bit big and all of the balls were barely coming to the top. I needed more “spillage”.

So I made some loosely formed balls out of aluminum foil and put them in the bottom of the bowl and then added my “pretty” balls on top. Problem solved.

I hope American Greetings is having this same offer all around the country. I needed cards anyway and was so happy to get a “freebie” too! I found mine at my local Harris Teeter grocery store but I would bet you could find this offer anywhere that sells American Greetings Cards. Good Luck! And I hope you find them!
