Halloween is over and so I wanted a fresh look as we move into the season to give thanks. I made this display without spending a dime (reusing things I had laying around.) I used a metal pot that usually houses flowers in the spring and summer. It still had the dirt in it which works perfectly as a base for this display. First I cut some bare branches off of our lilac bushes and sunk the ends into the dirt, arranging them so it got a nice full look. I then got some leaves off of our bush out front (to be perfectly honest, I don't even know what kind of bush it is!) The leaves were a nice color somewhere between green, yellow and brown and pleasant so I used them. Next I threw in a few branches from another bush in the yard. This bush has red berries on it. I like the way it turned out.
I used one of my dish towels as a table cloth. I liked the harvest colored stripes. At the base I put a butternut squash and piece of driftwood.
The other things I used were things I already had (the little welcome sign I got in years gone by from the dollar tree, and the wreath on my door I made many years ago with fake leaves.) The mums that I grew from a baby that cost me $1.36 at Walmart this spring are still alive and well, big and beautiful.
I am happy with how the whole display turned out. It only took a couple minutes and cost me basically nothing. Happy Thanksgiving!
