Thanksgiving Table

Welcome to the cheapest table setting ever. Sticking to my "no spending" rule, the Thanksgiving table is set for less than $15. 

For inexpensive place cards:
Use free clipart from Graphics Fairy on cardstock.  An old trick of the teaching trade is to outline with a magic marker.  Just run your marker along the edge and it creates an automatic border.  

Attach to a pine cone from the front yard, and there you have an almost free place card. 

A run down on everything else:
  • tablecloth is a curtain
  • Pier 1 pillow bought at GW for $2
  • dishes, well can you spell C-H-E-A-P?  
  • Wal Mart $1 plates 
  • Wal Mart .88 stemware 
  • bottom plates are from my everyday set
  • leave plates bought on clearance last year for .50
  • feathers and brown cattails added to faux greenery  (Not exactly what I want but, something I didn't have to purchase.)
  • rest of the items were shopped from the house
