Thankful For...A Good Deal

A recent, and much needed trip to Pottery Barn left me inspired. What caught my eye in the store were all of the beautiful centerpieces. With Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, I thought it was a perfect time to add a festive centerpiece to my table. My inspiration were these two in particular. Although the ideas were more Christmas related, I thought something similar would look just as cool for Thanksgiving.

So I headed to a few places...

I found an assortment of pumpkins and squash at the grocery store for about $10.

I found inexpensive white candles in varying sizes at Michaels. I also purchased some vase fillers (coffee and other beans) for a total of $20.

Finally, I found an assortment of glass vases from Ross. I also added a few more from my own collection. The total for three vases was $20.

Ok, so the total was $50 and that may seem like a lot. But I think of it as an investment. The vases, filler and candles will be reused for my Christmas centerpiece (so stay tuned). So if you think about it, I really only spent $10 for the pumpkins and squash that will last until I can start decorating for Christmas, which I am pretty excited about!

The only thing I can think of adding is a runner in a neutral color. But for now I am happy with it.
