A Little Thanksgiving Eye Candy
Since T-giving is just days away, we figured it was high time we sleuthed out some decorating and entertaining inspiration (thanks Google!). Luckily, all of these ideas will take just minutes to throw together- so having a few days notice is really all ya need. This Thanksgiving why don’t you…
…place a pear on each plate with a simple leaf shaped place card tied to the stem (thanks, Martha):
… create little turkeys with a pine cone, some feathers, and a pipe cleaner (Martha again):
.. or top each napkin with a leaf and line the table with amber candles, twigs and gourds (found here):
… fill a bowl with fruit, leaves and maybe some acorns and call it a day (seen here):
… fill a wooden bowl (or woven basket) with apples and keep things woodsy and warm (via Pottery Barn, seen here):
…. let the food be the star (it’s really all the decoration you need) and place a small vase of flowers or branches on the table (thanks Domino):
… dress your front door for the occasion with a leafy square wreath that says “it’s turkey time” (from BHG):
So there ya have it. A bevy of ideas from Martha, BHG, Domino, and everyone else who came up when I googled “Thanksgiving decorating”. Happy entertaining!

Love the pear! So simple and charming.
Love your site! The simplicity of the pear is stunning. Thank you!
those turkey’s are SOOOO cute (i’m almost to 2009! WOOT!)
Great idea with the turkey pine cone. I’ll see if I can remember that at next Thanksgiving. Are the feathers and the pipe cleaner attached using glue?
Best,
Maria
That would be my guess (maybe click over to Martha’s blog for confirmation). Good luck!

I was actually looking around for crafts and ornament ideas for the summer cottage and came across your post some how.
Must be Google Karma
Anyway, while these are certainly great for Thanksgiving, I also will be trying to create some of these for cottage aesthetics as well.
Really like the door wreath
I love your site. All the DIY work is super inspirational and some of your ideas are so simple and easy to do.
I love the pear name place setting, I am going to use this idea at my girlfriends baby shower. We’re doing a modern baby shower brunch theme and I think this will add an extra special touch.
That pine cone turkey is priceless! Thanks for the idea!
I appreciate all the little details immensely. We like to make mini-events out of our dinner parties, and our guests always enjoy coming over because of the effort we make.
Now I have your blog to get some ideas…
I made the Fall leaf wreath a few years back. It was easy, inexpensive, and looked great on my door. Seeing it on your blog really puts a feather in my cap. Maybe I really do have some good decor taste?? Maybe? :)
Haha- definitely!

Haha, I like that pear as well. Very simple, but it sure does look great :)
That pear looks just delicious! And don’t get me started on the turkey! Can’t wait untill next thanksgiving, think I might try to celebrate it :)
