It's time to be thinking of Thanksgiving centerpieces and here's an easy-peasy idea. All you need is a basket and a few pieces of fresh produce right from your refrigerator. Grab a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. I used two green tomatoes, a carrot, a zucchini, a cluster of red grapes, a red apple (buried) and an acorn squash. It took two minutes to layer them in the way I wanted before adding a couple of sprigs of faux autumn leaves.
I happened to buy some Indian corn at our local produce stand a few weeks ago, so I stacked it in front of the basket.
I placed everything on top of the autumn leaf runner that I am using on the dining room table this fall.
Using the same items, I was able to fill a cornucopia that someone gave me as an alternative idea. It had been the base of a professional floral arrangement once upon a time.
You can create a centerpiece using things you already have on hand and, best of all, you can consume the produce after you're finished using it!
Ta-da! How simple is that?
