Thanksgiving-the holiday without enough decor

I have a lot of cute Halloween and Christmas decor, but my home looks a little barren during the Thanksgiving stretch. I got a crafty itch last week and made this acorn wreath with Kasey and Tia. It took way longer than it should have, but I love it. The blog where we got the inspiration has them sprayed with a bright white paint. I like mine natural , but gave it a heavy coat of shellac so it has a glossy shine. I want to get some orange ribbon to hang it with, but burlap will do for now.
speaking of burlap...it is everywhere! I've seen a fazillion burlap projects on blogs lately, and after a trip to pottery barn on Saturday, I see why. Burlap at pottery barn =burlap everywhere else! Today, Katie came over and I used burlap to cover an ugly little wire cornucopia that I'd found at a garage sale over the summer. It turned out pretty cute, I think. I had fun working with burlap, and am working on a couple of ruffle wreaths to hang on my dining chair backs for Thanksgiving.

The acorn candy dish was at Hobby Lobby today for 66% off. I love acorns and couldn't resist getting it for $5. I have a few other acorn theme and burlap projects that I'm working on that I'll post when I finish them.

I'm grateful for my hot glue gun. Not just because it is super handy and I can use it to make fun projects, but because every time I use one, I think about the time my mom sat on her hot glue gun and melted her clothes to her skin. bwahahahahaha! Not so funny for her at the time, but it always makes me laugh...and look twice before I sit down when crafting with girlfriends!
