Thrifty Thanksgiving tablescape

I finally got the table set for Thanksgiving. I had great plans to make some placemats and utensil holders but it hasn't happened and I'm so far behind on Christmas that it probably won't. However, I recently picked up some items at the thrift store that were perfect for a Thanksgiving tablescape.

I started with a gold runner and then spread leaves, pumpkins, and candleholders out along the length of it. Some of the votive holders were picked up at the thrift store last year.

My recently spray painted pilgrims were added as well.

I used a hurricane, some gold filler beads, pinecones and a candle to create a centerpiece. I wrapped a leaf garland the base of it.

I picked up some burgundy placemats with gold/copper color leaves at the thrift store. Perfect for fall and thanksgiving. I used gold chargers and my trusty white greek key set of plates. The gold napkins and wood rings were thrifted too. I added berry picks to each.

This went in a totally different direction than what I first envisioned but I'm happy with the end results.

You may have noticed my ornament topiary in my last post about my window wreaths. That was another project that was on my list last year. I was inspired by these at BHG because they were in my color scheme. I set out to make one this year. I didn't follow the directions at BHG. Instead, I did a little more searching and then just did it my way. Most people suggest painting your stryofoam ball in a complimentary color first. I skipped this step because I was in a hurry, but I do recommend you do that. I used a 4 in styrofoam ball, 3 different size ornaments and a glitter pick. I also used a dowel rod which I covered in washi tape and a planter from the dollar tree. My planter was originally bronze, but with a few coats of spray paint it became silver. You also need some foam for the planter and something to cover it with. I used moss and blue glass pebbles. The pebbles give the bottom some weight. I think this makes a much better centerpiece for this ar
