Rustic Thanksgiving Tablescape
Earlier this summer, a tree fell on our house during a severe storm. Thankfully no one was hurt, and we were left with a new replacement roof and a LOT of leftover lumber and branches. We cut a lot up for fire wood, and burnt some, but we still have A. LOT. Leftover. So, I decided to try to make some pretty things out of this leftover wood.
This gorgeous Thanksgiving tablescape literally cost me nothing. $0. But even if you didn’t have the same supplies that I do laying around, I can’t imagine it would cost you $20. Rustic elegance on a budget. This Thanksgiving tablescape features a DIY centerpiece and DIY wood slice place cards.

For the centerpiece, I enlisted Mr. Gracious’ help (I’m awful with power tools). He trimmed down a large branch to about 2 1/2 feet. He also drilled three holes in the log, big enough for three candles.
I had a burlap and lace table runner I had made from a summer tablescape. I put that down, then a bed of fall silk flowers, and then my centerpiece on top.
For the place cards, Mr. Gracious cut one inch slices of a large log, then cut a slit down the middle for the card to sit.
The place cards are printed on yellow cardstock. I hole-punched the top and stuck a sprig of fresh rosemary from our garden through the holes.
