Use what you have.
That was my motto this year.
I think I was pretty successful.
I only spent $20 on fresh flowers.
I had these cute little bronze squirrel placecard
holders from Pottery Barn I got several years back.
I layered on the pieces, mixing and matching the patterns.
My only criteria was to stick with the creams, browns, and blacks.
the extra clippings from my centerpieces in them.
They are scattered randomly over the table.
I simply pulled them apart and put them in with the greenery.
I also added pine cones for a rustic natural look.

Tarnished silver candlesticks go nicely with
the silver vintage silver platters I used as chargers.

I also added feathers to the floral arrangements.

other greenery were the only things I purchased.
The glasses are from a thrift store.
The wine glasses with the numbers are from a Rosanna warehouse sale.

It's lovely and perfectly autumn....I have some plates that match the brown and cream bowl the squirrel is on....I got them at a little flea market down the road from Barn House two years ago. I only bought two and wish I'd picked up the rest of them!! I love your thrift shop glasses, too!!
Have a cozy and yummy Thanksgiving holiday!

I just love your mismatched table and your use of mother nature, so beautiful! I have always wanted to shop for vintage dishware and I think I will start today! Thanks!
Love the table setting, it looks just beautiful! Funny story, I was given two tea cups for my birthday...to begin my brown and cream dish collection. The two tea cups match your plates...the cross hatch with the dots....totally love them, and love that I am now collecting the same dishes you have! : )
Hope you have a wonderful day. I will contact you on Friday, for wreath plans!
Love it!!! The brown and cream is stunning and so fresh!
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Melanie- It all looks beautiful I gotta tell you though-Those little squirrel place card holders stole the show for me! Darling- Hugs- Diana
I love it, and especially that you used what you had! Lovely! The squirrel is tooo cute!
Beautiful tablescape!
The name of that plant (baby's breath) sounds so light, as the flower is... In Italy we call it bridal veil.
