Planning for Thanksgiving...

Next weekend is Thanksgiving.... the countdown is on.

I have planned the menu and bought the groceries for the menu.

Except for the fresh turkey...I will pick that up later this week.

Fresh cranberries for cranberry sauce. Check. I will make the cranberry sauce ahead of dinner by a day or two.

Assorted green and orange vegetables. Check.

Wine. Check

Decorations for the table.
 Hmmmm.
I wanted something to leave on the table all  this week.

Something natural.

Something simple dimple.

This is what I decided on.

 I found these at Superstore for $2.68. I purchased 2 bags.

 I found this basket~$9.99. It's great because I don't have a basket for french bread.

And we eat french bread a lot.

 Then I just played.

The peanut gallery watches.

I play around until it looks just so.

 I am thinking that for our Thanksgiving Dinner next Sunday,

I may nestle some votive candles in between the gourds.

Or something else.

I got a little chuckle when I read on the bag that the gourds came in:

"For Decorative Purposes Only".

 I mean....doesn't the green-nubby-warty-looking gourd look especially yummy?
