Natural Thanksgiving Centerpiece

I wanted to try a more rustic look this year 

so I created this easy 

Thanksgiving Centerpiece 

using branches and leaves from my yard.  

All of the items used (except the candles) 

are Estate Sale finds that I have been gathering 

together these past few months. 

 I found this great rustic candle holder for under $20.00 

at a recent sale.  

This is something that I have always wanted but never wanted to pay full price.  

I bet you could make one easily out of barnwood.  

I layered my burlap runner on top of a warm plaid 

Pendleton Throw in caramel, rusts and browns.  

I cut a few branches from my evergreen trees and laid them along the sides of the candleholder.  

I love the way the pine looks against the burlap 

and the rustic wood.

I added some other greens from my blue spruce and some juniper too.  I know you can see my mixed matched candles in these pictures.  I scrounged around to try to come up with 12 but I finally gave up and headed out to Michaels.  

Don't you hate that when you are all cozy in your sweats with 

your hair up and no makeup 

and you find out you have to go out?  UGH!!!  

Well, today they got me as I was, no makeup and everything!

For more of a Fall look I tucked in some oak leaves and other leaves from the yard but without them this would work for Christmas or Wintertime.  

I placed some apples and cranberries around because I really want Apple Pie and my mom makes 

THE BEST cranberry sauce!  

But I'll wait a few weeks I guess.

I love seeing all of the candles lit.  

So pretty and so simple.  

I am working on the whole Thanksgiving tablescape that I will share with you next week.  

I'm having fun with this rustic look.  

I even tried using green apples instead of candles.  

You could even core out the apples and put candles in them.  

It's beginning to feel winter-like almost around here.  

I actually had to put a coat on the other day.  

Thanksgiving will be here before you know it!  

So many things to do between now and then.  

If you find yourself running short of time why not try my simple rustic centerpiece.  

Until Next Time,
