Thanksgiving Tablescape

In our family, my sister and sister-in-law cook the sides and dessert, my mom makes the turkey, my brother and brother-in-law watch tv and I make the decorations. I have a sweet gig if you ask me, though the men may argue me down. I finished up the tablescape tonight (yes I am a little excited). As you will remember I had some burlap leftover from the hoedown. I decided to use a square of it over a white tablecloth. On top of that is some yellow crinkle tulle. In the center is one of the hurricanes with miniature pumpkins from the hoedown as well. I like to recycle and reuse in case you haven't noticed.

I wrapped the chandelier in the yellow crinkle tulle and secured it with a burnt orange ribbon. Don't worry the bulbs are not covered. Safety first!

 The plates and gravy boat were a find years ago from a Barron's catalog sale.

 I made place cards out of stationary paper, pipe cleaners and leaf garland bits. They are tucked in raffia tied around small votives. The little blob of color in the corner is a turkey. Gobble, gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving!
