It's That Time Again!

Martha Stewart had these ideas on her webpage- brilliant! They are small enough to fit into an apartment, yet unique and without the tradition green/red theme. I think it's a great idea! Check out more on her webpage at marthastewart.com

I spent the morning enjoying a blog called, Hostess With The Mostess. It is fantastic. I found some great ideas for the upcoming holidays, how I want to create a bridal shower theme and I'm still reading through the recipe ideas. I could really spend the rest of the day there. I suggest you check it out (if you have the time because there's so much to see!). Above and below are some of Jenn's, the editor, ideas for decorating your table at Thanksgiving and in Autumn. I know that autumn is basically over, but I thought it was really cute and could easily be transitioned into a winter theme by changing the colors (silver, light blue and dark blue) and by replacing the centerpieces below with clear vases filled with snowflakes (cut-out or bought), snowmen, etc. I also thought it would be really fun to fill the centerpieces with marshmallows, fruits, breads, etc. all on sticks and have the centerpiece be a chocolate fondue set. Then everyone can eat the centerpieces and all you're left with is the vase they were all sitting in. Anyways, go to the website- it will trigger the party-planning, creative side of you.

More Thanksgiving Ideas

Here are some more Thanksgiving decorations for around the house/apartment. I really like the candle idea because it goes with a Fall theme and therefore can be used in September and October as well.

Holiday Table Settings

Thanksgiving is a week away so I decided to find some creative Thanksgiving decorations to inspire.




I live in an apartment, so I won't be doing much entertaining for large gatherings, but I thought that it would be fun to decorate the table with Thanksgiving creations. These ideas came from Martha Stewart and are simple enough for a 24 year old, but also creative enough for a family to do. I like the idea of small holiday decor throughout the house/apartment/condo. For the next week I plan on posting holiday decorations, ideas and recipes.
