With Thanksgiving just a little over a week away, give yourself a few days to collect leaves and other out door items to create a unique Thanksgiving centerpiece. So here a few ideas to get you started.
• Leave bouquets: I tried this a few days ago and was amazed how beautiful they turn out. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
• Cornucopia (Horn of Plenty): While you can find inexpensive wicker cornucopia baskets, you can also make simple ones.

Once you have your cornucopia, be it purchased or made, fill with gourds, apples, pears, leaves, colored corn, and of course some wonderful wrapped chocolates.
• Cranberries: There are lots of ways to use cranberries. Pour a bunch in a large clear vase and then fill with flowers or pillar candle. Use a trifle bowl and layer cranberries with other fruits, such as apples, oranges, limes and add some flowers or greens coming out of the top.
• Lentils, split peas: Layer in a clear glass container, dried split peas, lentils, small red beans etc., and stick in a burnt orange pillar candle.
