Autumn Icon

From Celebrating Home: Decorating for the Holidays and Seasons from Cannon Falls Published by Watson-Guptill Publications

Hi Friends,

Simply abundant. The cornucopia, spilling over with the fruits of harvest, reigns as an icon of autumn. Derived from the Latin for 'horn of plenty,' this basket is the most traditional of Thanksgiving centerpieces. Classically, it overflows with fruits, vegetables, gourds and Indian corn.

Although the tradition of the cornucopia is ancient, its meaning is still relevant today. Because it symbolizes the bounty of life, it can help remind us of the bounty and blessings we've received throughout the year. As a modern-day take on the horn of plenty, ask guests around the Thanksgiving table to write down something they're thankful for and tuck the notes into a cornucopia centerpiece. Before enjoying dinner, read the notes aloud to give thanks.

Great idea for every family...

Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at Interior Design!
