We just celebrated Thanksgiving in Canada. We had the big turkey dinner on Sunday, and were happy to get almost all of the extended family (14 of us) together.
I have seen photos of pumpkins used for flower arrangements a few times now, so decided I would try my hand at it. I think the arrangement turned out pretty nicely, with branches and flowers from my garden :
My sister had the idea of adding the fresh cranberries (on a bamboo skewer). I think that was a nice touch. I asked my husband to cut off the top, and we cleaned it out, scraping the insides until clean, not stringy (I managed to get 4 cups of cooked pumpkin, and a small tray of baked pumpkin seeds out of this part). I didn't bother with an oasis, I just crossed the stems as I added them (a trick I learned from a professional flower arranger).
I hope you all had - or for our U.S. neighbours, will have - a great Thanksgiving. We have so much to give thanks for, in this part of the world.
