Thanksgiving ideas


I downloaded some Thanksgiving ideas and I must say, I like everything. All are from Pinterest which is easy than browsing the entire Internet for ideas. I love cute turkeys, especially those made with candy corn--my favorite candy.


I always pick up some take out boxes for my guest since I want to share and not have so many leftovers. I usually get mine at the dollar store. I would really love some of those pie containers.


Evergreens, leaves, eucalyptus and a pretty candle make a great centerpiece.


This looks like a nice wreath made from sparkly paper and tied with a bow. Simple and perfect.


I like the ideas for a kids table above. The ships are a perfect idea because the kids can help with them.


A welcoming basket of fall flowers and little pumpkins. Very sweet.


Candles make a festive tabletop. The twine and newsprint is perfect. It doesn't have to be fancy to be nice.


Above is kind of sweet and a little old-fashioned. I can deal with old-fashioned. New is so old.


The photo above made me excited to try a new recipe for green bean casserole. A gluten-free version, of course. I will just have to make my own onion rings, too. I hope mine will be really good.


A silly turkey tie. I'm game.


How many times have I posted a food sculpture. This cheese ball won't make you cry fowl! 


Vintage . . . Ah-h-h-h-h-h. I think it is so cute.


This is a great idea. This is what the day is all about.


I have seen gift jars filled with candies for other holidays. Why not Thanksgiving?


Burlap is still in this year and why not. It is organic and looks great with sunflowers and daisies.


I have one of these tall, thin vases. It would also be perfect filled with pumpkins and/or squashes.


I love candles and cinnamon together because hot candles will make the cinnamon fragrance drift throughout the house.


Little pumpkins with candles and fresh greenery. These little suckers are hard to cut but they do look good.


Pine cones and place cards pair up rather nicely. I am planning to do this one this year.


Kids really love google eyes. I think this would make a cute craft for the kids' table.


I know I won't make these this year but I love toasted marshmallows and pumpkin anything.


Pumpkin cinnamon rolls. That is just too luscious.


This is a sweet potato cake with toasted marshmallow filling, candied nuts and cream cheese frosting. I saved the best for last. I really want to make this at some point. My sister was wondering if we could make a sweet potato cake and this looks unbelievably good. I really did save the best for last.

I hope your Thanksgiving planning is great. I have my turkey, now I need to decorate.
