Pumpkin Themed Fall Tablescape

I love decorating the table for the different seasons or holidays. I saw the cute, irregular, white pumpkin at At Home and new I wanted it to be in the center of my table. The garland I purchased from Amazon and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. It’s not real obviously, but it doesn’t look extremely fake. If you know what I mean. This particular garland came in a package of two and I did use both garlands so it would be fuller. I attached them together with some twine.

I nestled velvet pumpkins in different shades of orange that I purchased from Amazon. It came in a set of 21 and I used the rest of the pumpkins in a wicker basket in another spot in my home. Side note: The velvet pumpkins would be super easy to make yourself, if you have the time to do that. Right now, my spare time is very sparse.

The table runner, white plates, gold chargers, wicker chargers, gold candlestick holders, and table runner were purchased from Hobby Lobby. The gold silverware was purchased from Target a few years back.

I hope you get some inspiration for your next fall tablescape. I put together a video showing how I put it all together. I hope you enjoy!

Spinach Balls Recipe – Thanksgiving Side

Spinach balls are a favorite in my house for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. My teenagers love them and have ever since they were young kids. They are the one thing they request every year, so I must make them. My son isn’t big on his vegetables but he loves these. I serve them with balsamic vinegar, but feel free to serve them with your favorite dressing or nothing at all.

Below you can find the recipe and I put together a video as well. Funny story, I made this video last year when I made them for Thanksgiving dinner and I never got to post it until this year. When I posted it both my son and daughter came to me and asked where they were and they wanted some. I said I didn’t have any and they said “but the video”. I disappointed them when I let them know that was last Thanksgiving. They don’t have that much longer to wait.
