THANKSGIVING: NAPKINS & THINGS

Eating outdoors? Here's the perfect touch for keeping your tablecloth in place. Try some mini gourds for your Turkey Day table weights!

Grab your coat and go get some fresh air.. almost all you need for this look is a stroll around the block! Take a walk and collect acorns to make these fab fall napkin rings. For each ring, drill tiny holes through the sides of nine or ten acorns. Wire the acorns together, alternating the acorns top-to-bottom so they nestle together tightly and, va la! There you have a natural and warm welcome piece for your table.

Here's your hook-up for an inexpensive and chic vase fall filler! Dried beans are almost always readily available in bulk at low cost. Fill a hurricane with beans up to 2-3 inches then add a branch of yellow berries for a glow on your table.

Indian corn garland. Perfect for fall, perfect for indoors or outdoors. Try it!

Rich in color and interest- try this look. Arrange four gourds and six large chrysanthemum blossoms symmetrically in a flat bowl or tray for an eye catching contemporary centerpiece.
