Berry Simple Flower Arrangement

It's Thanksgiving tomorrow and many of us will be preparing a lovely meal and opening our homes to family & friends. I think it's always a nice gesture to have some flowers to dress up the dining table. Depending on where you are, flowers can be quite expensive. So I like to add a little bit of fruit to the mix.

Like these cranberries! Traditionally they are made into juice or dried cranberries for year-round consumption, but they are popular come Thanksgiving as a side to roast turkey. It's cooked down to make cranberry sauce. You can get cranberries at a good price at this time of year so I'll buy an extra bag...

...then put some in a jar or clear vase.

Then I'll add some flowers.
Tada! a bright & bold arrangement for a dining or coffee table.

You may also place some cranberries in a bottle (this used to hold maple syrup), add a single rose and put this arrangement in the guest room or bath. It will instantly make any room ready for a party!

Thanks for visiting me today!
