Spaghetti Jar Vase
Happy Thanksgiving week! Can you believe that, in a few short days, we’ll be sitting down to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner?! Time is certainly flying by this year.

My first “official” Thanksgiving table!

I used some leaves on the burlap table runner and with the napkin to really give it a fall feel.
