More Thanksgiving Entertaining

Here is another Thanksgiving tablescape. I use my backyard fruit and gourds in my Thanksgiving tablescape wherever possible. Here, hollowed out pumpkins are used to hold the flowers along with other gourds, persimmons, and pomegranates to dress the table. Candles are used throughout the table to give that ambiance to the table.




For the dessert table, centerpieces are made with the same fruits to carry the theme throughout the house.

 

Nuts and dried fruits are arranged in a wooden tray to use as a centerpiece as well as for part of the dessert.

Now the table is set.  Time to focus on Thanksgiving food with a touch of authentic spices.  Keep reading for more recipes.
