Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching!
With less than 2 weeks to get ready for the Thanksgiving Holiday, I am scrambling to get everything ready! In the blogging world, this time of year we already are working on Christmas ideas as well as testing recipes for Thanksgiving and Christmas. When I had the flower shop, I often felt like I had a split personality because one part of the shop was decorated for Christmas and the other part was decorated for Fall.
Today, I am sharing links to several posts that I hope will help you finalize your decorating & hosting plans!
Ideas for Quick to Make Centerpieces
If you are looking for a quick and easy centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table or you need a hostess gift to take with you when celebrating at someone else’s home, a Fall themed European Dish Garden could be the answer!
I love the peach colors in this dish garden. All of the details on how to put this together can be found here: European Dish Garden Featuring Fall Poinsettias
Another simple centerpiece would be to add silk flowers to a vase or pottery pitcher and then add a few pumpkins and gourds. I used faux gourds on my dining room table one year. They just happened to match the water pitcher my Mom used when I was a child.

An old tool box can be turned into an Autumn centerpiece by filling it with branches of faux bittersweet. I used an old garden tool to prop the lid open!
The rust color of the bittersweet helps pull out the rust tones in my china. Even though I have had these china dishes for years, I still think they are so pretty!
Take a good look at the dishes you are planning on using. Maybe there is a color in the dishes that could be accented by a particular flower or stem of berries.

The same cheesecake mix can also be served as a dip! Use assorted cookies or fruit as dippers for a unique pumpkin flavored dessert!
I hope I have given you some ideas on last minute centerpiece ideas as well as two ideas for a quick and easy dessert!
Whether you are hosting or have been invited as a guest, I hope you enjoy your thyme with your loved ones this Thanksgiving!
