But . . . Thanksgiving was quickly approaching and as I sometimes do, invited myself to my sister's for dinner; not only because I know the food is going to be awesome, but because the conversation is interesting and can get a bit intense at times (that's when her mother-in-law nudges me and says it's time to get the pies ready)! So because I invited myself and didn't ask what I should bring I offered to bring a flower arrangement for the table to go with what she was already planning.
Three White roses, a bunch of white berries and the tops of the tall grasses from my front yard all sitting in a gold spray painted (albeit fake) pumpkin with the top cut out so I could put a glass (or tin can inside) and Bob's yer Uncle!
Here is a picture of it sitting on the table - she had already spray painted all of the pumpkins existing and twigs from her garden. Then placed triangular shaped votive holders on a burlap runner (which was all sitting on top of a lace table cloth). The chargers were all different (some were patterned, some were plain but all gold, brown and tan).
Hopefully I behaved myself enough to be invited back (or if not, just show up next time).
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Total Cost: $42.00 for the flowers and $8.00 for the fake pumpkin.
