A walk in the yard for leaves and sticks mixed with pumpkins and gourds you probably have around the house will combine nicely with neutral or harvest themed dishes, linens, candles and trim. I’m inspired this year not to overwork myself preparing for the big day so that I won’t be too tired to enjoy it. Instead I’m going to keep things simple and spend time appreciating the thing I’m most thankful for, my family.
