Thanksgiving Decor - Dinner for Two
Ingredients for a cool table from Real Simple:
- Greenery and twigs (free, from the yard)
- Linen napkin (free, from cupboard)
- Bottles (empty wine bottles, Peligrino bottles, or other fun shaped bottles (like the Kambutcha ones) - free)
- Carpet tape
- Paper Tags
- Twine
To cover bottles in twine, use carpet tape and start wrapping from the top of the object. Don’t worry about irregularities; rough-hewn is the look you want. Cover glass votive holders with cut-to-fit pieces of linen from the napkin and tie with twine.
"For place-card holders, use shears to cut twigs about 4 inches long. Bundle and tie them, tucking in name tags. Invest in one special item from the flower shop (for example, green-dyed milo berries, as shown here filling a twig box), and troll the yard for the rest. Scoop moss into a tin and finish it with acorns; stick juniper in low bottles, fern fronds in taller ones. Add cattails for even more height (they are just right for the brown-green palette).
Cluster vessels in the center of the table, placing short near tall and fuzzy near smooth. Stark used cutting boards as chargers, but this look is perfect with plain white plates"
How cute are those bottles! Love them.

Love the nutts in the wine glasses with name cards.
Love the earthy feel of this table
Here I love the idea of taking leaves and a piece of twin and tying them around a candle holder or even small votive.
These metal name card holders and matching candle stands are so beautiful! Thanksgiving in France!!All these ideas drive me nuts... it makes me want to have a bunch of people over for dinner!
