Last-minute Thanksgiving Centerpiece + Motivation Monday Link Party!

Happy Thanksgiving week, friends! Today I am so excited to be guest cohosting the Motivation Monday link party! Motivation Monday is a fantastic party where I frequently link up my posts. The party gets over 400 posts each week and is full of awesome crafts, recipes, decor ideas, and more. I'll give more details, and the link up, down below. 


I am not hosting Thanksgiving this year (although I look forward to it someday!), we are headed to the Willamette Valley to stay with family. We are looking forward to some quality time with loved ones. 

We have had this fall centerpiece on our table for a few weeks and I thought it would make a great and easy thanksgiving centerpiece.


All you would need to make this simple yet festive centerpiece is:
1. A few complimentary candles -mine are from Michaels
2. A pretty plate, platter, or other surface- also from Michaels
3. Some sort of seasonal decoration -my acorn is from Hobby Lobby
4. Any vase- I gave this vase gold dots with acrylic paint and a pencil eraser
5. A handful of dried plants -oh, these are a plenty where I live.

Note: Be careful that there is a safe distance between the flames and those dried plants! 





What are you using as a table centerpiece this fall? Happy Thanksgiving!

Now for the link up:



Motivation Monday is all about inspirational posts, healthy recipes, crafts, organizing tips, and home decorating ideas.
