My sister, niece and nephew are coming over for Thanksgiving. I am so excited to spend the evening with them! I loved the Thanksgiving leaves for our 'Thankful Tree', so I decided to put a leaf at each place setting with a bark pencil.
Now, everyone can write what they are thankful for, and we can add these to our tree. Tip: Write the year on the back and file as a keepsake. These will be fun to read when my kids are grown!
I was inspired over at Kim's Savvy Southern Style to make this centerpiece with items I had in other displays. Our sweet friend Jesse brought me some turnips, sweet potatoes and these beans from his garden. He comes to fish for his supper and always brings me something...we have become good friends! (I wrote about Jesse here.)

Where else do I get inspiration? Pinterest, of course.
