Simple Thanksgiving Decor #thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is, by far, my favorite holiday. It kicks off the official holiday season. And let's face it, I adore anything autumnish. And, is it just me, or does Thanksgiving have autumn written all over it?

I decorate pretty simply for Thanksgiving...really fall in general.
Just simple touches here and there to take us through this special {and thankful} time of year.


I created a simple paper banner for over my mantle. And I've used the same one for several years now.

I keep thinking I'll make a new one, but I kind of like this one still.

A few other fall items are nestled into the mantle...this metal plate was from HobLob a few years ago.

This little pumpkin was bought for me by my in-laws a few years back. It was from an adorable little shop in Salado, Texas. I'll be introducing you to the amazingness that is Salado later this week.

My chalkboard even got a fall makeover thanks to inspiration from Heather over At the Picket Fence. {I literally held up my phone with a photo of her chalkboard while I drew mine}.
That Heather is always inspiring! Her kitchen island inspired mine back in the summer.

 The bigger picture.
{I love that this was a no-cost decoration}
The little wooden pumpkins on top came from a craft booth years ago.

I also love to decorate with simple plates. I scored several Thanksgiving plates a few years ago at Marshalls...it was after Thanksgiving and they were just a couple of bucks each.

Something new to my Thanksgiving decor this year is this platter that sits on the dresser in the dining room. Would you believe I paid $2.50 for this?!?!? WOOHOO! Stumbled onto it at my local Goodwill. It had some black smudges on it that I knew I could get off. A little elbow grease and voila!

Another one of my post-Thanksgiving Marshall's plates sits in a little grouping in my kitchen {usually a cookbook sits here, but it's easy to pop this plate in there for quick decor}.

One last platter...this one was a gift from a friend in a previous city. I just love all of the colors.

How do you decorate for this holiday?
No matter how you do your decor, let the thankfulness abound!

  8. So cute! Laughing at my example being copied, since I think my chalkboard skills have a lot to be desired but I'm glad it inspired yours and everything you've done looks amazing!
