Thanksgiving Mantel....Yummm Sideboard

I finally got Halloween put away and my small Thanksgiving box out.


I started with a Thanksgiving platter that my folks used every time we had a turkey dinner!

I love this platter!


A few mini pumpkins left from Halloween and my Pilgrim Gurley candles
I also used my Autumn Leaf Ball Pitcher....the Autumn Leaf pattern is just perfect for this time of year!

And it was something on hand too!


My cornucopia basket was a $1.00 Goodwill find last year...but it had a bow on the top that I did not like.

So I tied a strip of burlap around the basket to cover up the glue marks left behind after I took the bow off.

A few faux pumpkins and gourds from the dollar store......done!

It's hard to tell from this picture but I found an Indian Gurley candle in a box of my mom's.....Love this special guy too!  I don't remember my mom using this for her Thanksgiving table growing up, but she loved garage sales too so I'm guessing she picked it up somewhere along the way.

Can you believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner???

Yikes!!!

  1. Looks Thanksgiving festive. My daughter (away at college) just texted me to let me know she would be home in two weeks...excited to have the kids home for the holiday.
    ps lucky on the Indian candle. I have a big stash of Thanksgiving candles but not one Indian!

  6. I decorate for autumn, a few pieces for Halloween come out in Oct. but the rest is up Sept. to the day after Thanksgiving. I love your Gurley tucked in there! Pretty pitcher! I have the Autumn Leaf mixing bowl in the large size, I got it at Good Will for 4.00 a few years ago and use it every fall on the kitchen counter filled with apples. Love it and your pretty vignette!
