Let's kick off this Thanksgiving…

Autumnal LuminariesLet's kick off this Thanksgiving spectacular with a decorating tip from Martha Stewart: Autumnal Luminaries. "With the big holiday behind them, pumpkins are free to be themselves again. In their dressed-down forms, they make lovely lighted centerpieces. Simply cut tops from pumpkins with a miniature saw and scoop out their flesh." For Thanksgiving 2001, I did something similar with gourds and put small tea lights in them. They made lovely centerpieces and were a nice change from basic candles.
