I’m here to tell you if decorating isn’t simple in every way, shape, and form I’m usually out. It’s just the way it is, I don’t have energy in my life for fuss.
So this year I came up with what has to be the simplest Thanksgiving centerpiece known to man. A jar full of pumpkins. No lie.
I bought the jar at D.I. for $1, bought a bag full of leftover Halloween pumpkins from the produce section of my grocery store for $1, and voila. Magic. All for the low, low price of $2.
What are your easiest {and recession friendly} Thanksgiving decorations?

Sometimes I put out the fires and sometimes I start them. Sometimes I really do have it all together. Sometimes my children say otherwise. We just like to keep it real around here.
some really lovely ideas {albeit not as budget friendly} here:

super cute. In case all your readers are really sad because their DI doesn't have those cute jars – I have seen almost identical ones at walmart for maybe 5-10 dollars. They have a few sizes too.
Super cute use!
I think it is a fantastic idea!
jill,
love hostess with the mostess, definitely not budget friendly though.
