Not so Traditional Thanksgiving Table Setting

Hi All, and Happy Thanksgiving. Just wanted to pop in an share my easy, no cost Thanksgiving table setting. I had BIG plans of how I wanted my table to look, but the pocket book said, "NO"! Instead I used what I already had. And below is the table setting I created on a ZERO budget. Enjoy the pics.

The table cloth is 3 yards of upholstery fabric I purchased at Walmart years ago. I am waiting for the perfect piece of furniture to put it on.



I really, really, really, like these plates. They were purchased at one of Dillards awesome clearance sales!


The center piece consist of fresh onions, lemons, bell peppers, carrots and red potatoes from my kitchen.

 



The artificial foliage adds interest to the center piece.


I think this fabric makes a BOLD statement. You like?


Happy Thanksgiving!

    I love when I can use what I already have, too, then I can buy things after the holiday when everything is on sale. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too... :)

    Lory, I love your table setting for Thanksgiving. I rarely use my dining room. My mom & I had Thanksgiving at a restaurant and my relatives came over for desserts. We did use the dining room for desserts.

My Fall Table

There are only nine days left until Thanksgiving. And I am so excited because I get to share it with close friends and family. By the way, the grand baby will be here too! Yay! Ok, back to the post.   My Fall Table turned out quite lovely if I must say so myself. This year instead of using a table cloth, I used a variety of fabric samples swatches to cover the table. So, what do you think? I love all the different colors patterns and textures, and they actually play off each other nicely. And I am hoping the fabric sample table cover will be a great conversation starter as well. I will let you know how it goes. Spode  China and pumpkins from the Dollar Tree who knew? Initially the table had two fall wreaths and two lanterns. You can see it here. But I had to remove one of each to make room for the table settings. You know how I love animal print. I think every room needs a little touch of it. How about you?

Easy Last Minute Ideas For Fall

The count down has begun! Can you believe there are only 8 days left until the turkey is carved? So, today I figured I would share some easy last minute ideas to get you through Fall/Thanksgiving Holiday. So let's get started! These diy wreaths may look quite intimidating but on the contrary they aren't at all. To get this look you will need a grapevine wreath, garland of your choice, floral wire and ribbon. Simply take the garland and place it around the wreath. Once the garland is in place attach it to the wreath using floral wire. Next, add the bow and hang the wreath. Project complete! Your family and friends will be impressed. For best results make sure that the garland is long enough to cover the entire circumference of the wreath. If the wreath above is still a bit much, why not give this wreath a try? The only things needed are a grapevine wreath and ribbon of your choice. Now make a big bow and attach it to the wreath. Voila!  I used a pipe cleaner/chenille

How I decorated my Christmas Tree/Foyer for less than $30

 I am over the super excited to bring you one of several posts revealing how I decorated my Christmas Tree/Foyer for less than $30.Yes,you heard me right. And I must say it looks quite fabulous, but before the reveal can take place, we have to go through the process. Sorry!!! So, keep reading to find out how I transformed the space for so little. Each year I try to incorporate creative ways to decorate my home on an extremely tight budget, and this year was no exception. But in order to get the ball rolling on this project, I needed some inspiration. Well, my inspiration came via a promise I made to my grand baby. I promised her that Zsa Zsa(that's me) would decorate a Christmas tree she would love. However, with that being said, I also knew the design/decor had to be whimsical and playful enough for her. But it also had to appeal to the adults in the family as well. (mainly me) So, I put my design thinking cap on and came up with a plan, that I thought would appeal to both partie
