It has been a busy week trying to
get all of Halloween put away and
decorate for Thanksgiving.
Even Thanksgiving can be done up
with a little sparkle.
I made the banner for the mantel using
this free download by
Then I added some glitter to the
letters and mounted them on metallic
silver papers and strung them with
jute. I cut my papers 5 wide by
6 1/2 long, and that worked perfectly
for her letters.
The French script pumpkins were from Home Goods
several years ago. I looked everywhere for a metallic
garland that would go with my neutral look,
and just found this one the other day at our
new Home Goods. Now I don't have to drive
40 minutes to a Home Goods
(kind of addicting!)
Actually, the mercury glass vases are from
Home Goods several years ago too.
I love the gold, silver and coppery tones
of the garland.
Gold candlesticks and a polka dot
gold pumpkin adorn the hearth.
The pumpkin sits on a champagne colored
cake pedestal.
Everything turned out better than I had
planned.
Give thanks daily, and it will come back
to you! Thank you for coming to visit
our Thanksgiving home.
