I just left the kitchen where we've spent most of the day preparing an abundance of side-dishes for our Thanksgiving feast tomorrow. Grace (bless her heart), was still standing at the sink peeling the last of a ten pound sack of potatoes when I ducked out to give my feet a rest. We'll leave the spuds to soak in cold water, and throw them in the pressure cooker later (in batches) for the best mashed potatoes ever.
This pumpkin vase table arrangement was so easy to make and really turned out cute. I bought a small bouquet of flowers from the market and filled in with clippings from my backyard garden. The variegated sage and artemesia herbs added a nice contrast to the flowers. I placed a small jelly jar (filled with water) inside the hollowed-out pumpkin, to poke all the stems into. Voila!
