Thanksgiving is a time to gather and celebrate the harvest season. Earth tones reflect a different light than they did during Indian summer; a twilight will soon arrive with Winter Solstice. And there is an elegance now that shines upon Mother Nature's hard work, especially on our Thanksgiving tables.
Without a word spoken, Thanksgiving's elegance says, "Welcome Home."

What a great idea to repurpose squash from vegetable to vase. I love this arrangement from Better Homes & Gardens. I'm so tempted to try this idea. Learn more about how to replicate this floral arrangement by clicking here.

The season's icons are finding their way into the decor. Consider these lovely ways to feature acorns and oak leaves.
Simple and elegant, use just a couple of acorns to add a little embellishment to something that's used every day. This bookmark is simple and beautiful! Add a couple of oak leaves to the cover of the book to complete the theme.
Or feature them in a traditional wreath highlighting their warm hues with a ribbon in a complimentary color.
Ah, the season's icons. Mother Nature's souvenirs. Enjoy!
