Beautiful decorations create a happy party mood, have your neighborhood florist create a citrus wreath or make one yourself!
Directions for creating a citrus wreath: Cover a wreath frame with citrus or bay leaves.
Puncture 1 end of a piece of citrus with a long nail. Insert a long pipe cleaner into the hole.
Use the pipe cleaner to fasten the fruit onto the wreath. Arrange the fruit as desired on the
wreath, securing each piece with a pipe cleaner. I like using baby kumquats to fill in the sparse spots. Hang over a mirror for double the drama or on your front door to greet Thanksgiving Day guests.

Hollow out gourds and baby pumpkins and fill with tapered candles.
Be sure to fill your mantel to heaping, tuck a few
magnolia leaves here and there to loosen the look.

Remember some of your guests you may not see but once a year...
create visual vignettes on your kitchen counter tops...now is
the time to put away the toaster and fill a silver ice bucket with a colorful
bromeliad and finish with moss. A bowl of fresh fruit and an interesting
piece of art finishes the simple yet striking composition.
