Thanksgiving Flowers

What a difference one year makes in learning how to decorate. Last year's attempt to place a bouquet of flowers inside a white pumpkin turned into an epic fail. And it was a gift for my mother-in-law to be! This year the flowers turned out much better, and while I spent $12 on last year's flowers from Walmart, I spent only $1.50 each on 2 bouquets from Kroger on Manager's Special.  

Last year's FAIL. If you're going to do this, make sure your white pumpkin doesn't heavily resemble a honeydew melon.

This year's SUCCESS. The flowers were placed in a small jar inside of the bigger vase, and then the vase was filled with miniature pine cones I picked up in the woods. Much better this year and less expensive.
