Decorating the Thanksgiving Table Country Style

Country Living has some beautiful and easy table decorations for Thanksgiving. And although they always have great ideas, I love these because they are all cheap, quick, and beautiful.

I like the tablecloth and the Indian corn, but I love the simple wooden bowls full of nuts that they used as a candle holder.

Take some of the glass around your house, a hurricane, a nice bowl, or apothecary jars and fill them with fall items. Leaves, acorns, nuts and cranberries will make beautiful table displays.

I don't think it gets much easier than this. A Fall leaf on a plate. And definitely an assignment that you can give to the younger crowd!

Strips of paper with handwritten quotes or phrases are fastened at the end with double-sided tape. You can even have your guests read the quotes aloud as part of your Thanksgiving dinner celebration.

Use a nice vase to arrange fall foliage. Another inexpensive and festive way to decorate for Thanksgiving.

That tabelcloth is so pretty! Man, I wish I had a good embroidery machine.

I also saw a tablesetting using clear plates and fall leaves underneath showing through. Very simple, but nice.

Love it all!!!! Oh and I just saw what Renee said about clear plates. Remember I said I would do something like that because I have the large clear plates and the smaller clear plates and I want to do something that shows through from the bottom. So, if you see anything pass it on.
