Here's a simple centerpiece I did last November for a little dinner party. Casual as always, I pulled this Fall look together with things I had on hand:

I used some heavy duty
old-fashioned "dripless" candles,
red maple leaves,
chestnuts,
satin ribbon and a large, oval
pewter tray.

I wrote things that I was
thankful for on some of the leaves using a
white paint pen.

I love it when it all comes together with things you have on hand! The idea of writing things you are thankful for on the leaves is wonderful! I just might have to borrow that one! Thanks.
Cant Imagine with simple things... a centerpiece could look sooooo beautiful... lovely idea... I will give it a hot this thanksgiving...
How cute, to add white pen to the colored fall leave. Note to self: Must steal this idea :)

I love this! What a sweet idea to write things down... cute blog!
visiting via Heidi's Thanksgiving ideas post, great blog. This is such an elegant, yet simple idea, that I would't think of it, trying to do something elaborate that wouldn't look as nice. Great job!
