After making my “I am thankful for…” chalkboard chargers last week, I knew I had to use them in the table setting. Way to go me, killing two birds with one stone.
When I saw these votives on the wishlist of Erin at Domestic Adventures, I was reminded that I had 6 artichoke votive holders that I picked up nearly a year ago for pennies. I thought they’d be great on place settings. So, why not now?
I pulled them out and they were actually prettier than I remembered.
And the colors totally went with my other decor in the dining room.
I pulled out the simple square burlap tablecloth picked up on the Iowa Road Trip with Jen.
For the centerpiece, I wanted to show off the cool wine corks I also swiped at Reusable Usables. Don’t they look nice in the wire candle holder? It’s nothing difficult or fancy, but I like it.
I’m really pleased with how it looks. Simple and natural.
What do you think?

I love your artichokes! Sadly, all of my dishes are still in storage or I’d join in. All I have are vignettes on the buffet and hutch.
Nice job~ I had the best of intentions of participating this week but pre-Thanksgiving cooking kept me busy!
