The table turned out beautiful. I think it's the first time since Tyler has been born that he hasn't been sick at Thanksgiving. It's also the first time since his birth where I've felt like I've had it together enough to plan my table setting in advance. I always had elaborate setups prior to being a mom. I tucked a few handfuls of pinecones into the garland to help fill it out.
My mom donated a roll of burlap for the project, which is the backdrop for the centerpiece. The three lanterns in the middle are a score from my spring trip to Ikea. The florals are a garland from The White Hare in St. Peters that I looped around the lanterns in a large S pattern and then fluffed out to make it look like each one was completely encircled.
Extra pinecones ended up in three areas.
The wire basket by my front entry is all decked out for the rest of the season!
A lovely sunflower bowl on my living room side table is a keeper of pinecones as well. Also wanted to point out my lamp and turkey combo. The lamp is a semi-recent purchase from Target. It has a hollow bottom. My turkey was already sitting on the table, and I thought it would be interesting to put it inside the lamp. The illumination in the evening is very pretty.
Not shown, I took whatever was left and edged the potted mums flanking the entry stairs. Every last one was put to good use.
