Thanksgiving decorating with candles and objects in nature

Just a bit more inspiration before my favorite holiday...yum!

Love this combo of different leaves, seeds, and pumpkins.

Branches are always dramatic - in a good way

I also love white pumpkins.  Thanksgiving suffers from orange and brown overload sometimes

Everything home decor is warm mixed metals these days, so simply silver, copper, or gold leafing some stones, or painting pumpkins with a glitzy paint will add a lot of glam to your decor.

A really simple, gorgeous way to decorate for Spring

I know ...Spring? Who am I kidding? It's snowing outside right now as I'm typing. Maybe one day Spring will come, and when it does, you should try this really cute idea. It's from Southern Living Feb. 2010, which revamped their look a few months ago, and I'm really liking all the issues so far!

These two photos are so pretty. If you have woods or trees on your property you could even create your own bouquets.

This is a good idea- use strands of grapevine to support the stems. I like the look
