No Budget Decorating!

Sometimes, great ideas are born out of dire circumstances. The conversation between Patrick and I went like something like this:

Soryda: Honey, do we have any money that I can buy some thanksgiving decorations?
Patrick: No.
Soryda: But, what about....
Patrick: (Interrupting) NO.
End of conversation.

So, while he said that we didn't have any budget for harvest decor, he didn't say I couldn't be creative! Check it out:

Last year's Thanksgiving wreath for the front door, gets a new twist, by becoming the foyer table centerpiece. A large vase, and candle in the center, make the set complete.


This centerpiece isn't quite finished, maybe because everyone kept eating it! While he said there wasn't a budget for decorations, he didn't say I couldn't use our food budget? Bag of apples 3.99. Other ingredients: An old cake stand, pine cones and leaves from Lansdowne's autumn bounty. Free.

Asparagus and artichoke wrapped candles. Brilliant!
I had one wrapped with green beans too, but we ate those before I could take a photo of it. :)
