Bring on the Turkey - The Table is Ready

Wow, it's been a very busy week. Work (which has been crazy), Halloween with the Red Heads and a craft show with mom (will be posting about that later) have consumed my week. I was exhausted and decided to stay in this weekend and try to be crafty and get my Thanksgiving table setting together. I had to look no further than my own backyard for the crafty part of my table. I know my neighbors must have wondered what in the world I was doing crawling around on the ground picking up acorns and fallen branches, but free beats going to buy something from the store! I stuck the branches in an urn I had and hot glued the acorns (after glittering them up a little) to the branches. I also put some acorns in a small covered dish I picked up a couple of weeks ago.

So here is the anatomy of my Thanksgiving table:

Love, Love, Love my tablecloth! I bought it many years ago at the Scott Antique Show in Atlanta. It came with twelve napkins and it is in perfect condition.





Of course I used thrifted dishes, glasses and silver ware!







Only thing left to add is a little decor. 






And of course my crafty acorn tree!







Here it is all put together!





Hazel even gussied up for the occasion!
