Last Minute Thanksgiving Tablescape on a Budget


This time next week,  we'll be busy getting everything ready for Thanksgiving.....where did the year go?  
If you don't have anything in mind yet for your Thanksgiving tablescape,  I have some tips and good news for you.    The good news is that Hobby Lobby has their fall décor 80% off.



This Farmhouse style give thanks board was $4 on sale


My plaid tablerunner is 2 yards of fabric that I cut down the fold mark and sewed end to end  to make a long.... quick.... simple runner


I had eyed this metal pumpkin carriage at Hobby Lobby all fall and couldn't bring myself to spend $40 for it.     $8 .....I can live with that price!


I put my 80% off bird in a "bow nest" to make a quick topper for my Thanksgiving centerpiece


More of my 80% off items.....put them on a pretty tray and they make a nice centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table


This HL board for $4 would be so pretty in the center of your Thanksgiving table with several tall candles on it. 
  

I shopped the house for some metal trays ......the silver "lift" box in the middle of the two trays is a left over candy box!  

  If you follow my blog,  you will remember my glass and brass tiered stand.    This is my 5th fall tablescape using it.   


New fall décor not in your budget this year?    Three white boo pumpkins placed on the top of your already "on hand" candlesticks make a simple but elegant centerpiece for your Thanksgiving dinner.


I hope I have been able to give you some helpful tips and ideas to make your Thanksgiving dinner table look  special.....


You can see a glimpse of the Christmas trees on one side of the fireplace in the family room.   I have the  trees up on each side,  but not decorated yet.    I have a few pieces on the mantel,  but am far from having it completed.

Hope to get my Christmas decorating done after Thanksgiving.
