An Easy Way To Jazz Up Your Thanksgiving Table!

Thanksgiving is upon us… the family, the friends and the wonderful smells of the Turkey and stuffing cooking in the oven. Everyone gathering at the table awaiting the plentiful meal that is about to be spread before them. But wait, there’s something missing. What about the centerpiece? At the Thanksgiving table, isn’t it always traditional to have the cornucopia adorning the table? What about something different and exciting that will have your friends and family saying, “My, oh my, who created that beautiful centerpiece?” Well, I have a fantastic idea for you!

Every year I try and make a different and creative centerpiece. This year, I am going to let you in on my idea. Please feel free to use it and take all of the credit for it!

First, take a small to medium sized pumpkin and cut the top off and hollow it out. You are left with the perfect new vase to put flowers in! This year I’m thinking that orange and yellow Gerbera daisies are going to be the cream of the crop. Sunflowers are also going to add a nice touch to the mixture of flowers. Add a few red mums and… VOILA! You have a unique and creative centerpiece for your Thanksgiving Day table. Of course you can use whatever flowers you would like to use. I’m just giving you an example of what I am going to be using. Set your new masterpiece on the table and you will have a beautiful and unique centerpiece that everyone will be talking about.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!!
