First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who has taken the time to answer my survey.  I’ve been reading the answers and brainstorming and hope to get a response post up in a few weeks, and start a little Q&A with you guys!  And if you haven’t responded, please feel free to give me your feedback and let me know what you’d like more of (or less of). But that’s not what we are talking about today…I was recently invited to be part of a round up of inexpensive holiday table ideas with HGTV, sharing my DIY gold horse place card holders.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have those photos on hand anymore in a large enough size, so what’s a girl to do?  I decided just to create an entirely new table and today I am going to show you this affordable and simple natural holiday tablescape. Natural Rustic Holiday Table with Pears, Pine, AntlersPinI decided to keep this table super simple and worked with what I had at home.  I started with the amber glasses that have been making the rounds on my tables lately, my thrifted macrame runner , my grandmother’s china, my peacock silverware, and cloth napkins I owned.  Of course, I added the DIY gold horse place card holders for a quirky and metallic touch.Gold Horse Place Card Holder DIYPinI love these guys so much that sometimes I use them to label foods and cheeses at get togethers, as opposed to just at place settings.Rustic Farmhouse Style Holiday TablePinFor the centerpiece, I raided my yard and gathered pine branches, grabbed my DIY stripped log candlesticks,  added pears from my refrigerator, and antlers I had on hand.  All of these are rather accessible so this look is pretty easy to recreate.  If you don’t have wood candlesticks, brass would look awesome as well.Pears, Antlers, Pine Holiday CenterpiecePin

The overall look is simple and fuss-free, which I love very much!  I also love the low profile of this centerpiece so there’s no awkward trying to see around things to talk to people across the table. Centerpiece of Antlers, Pine, Pears, CandlesPinThis collection suited my dining room and made it feel a little modern farmhouse. (Obviously, I shot these before I changed out my lightbulbs!)Vintage Modern Farmhouse Dining RoomPin

Easy Affordable Rustic and Natural Christmas TablescapePinSo that’s it!  Super simple, and extremely affordable.  Check out the HGTV article for more thrifty entertaining ideas.  And now I am off to a friend-date at Costco, which actually is one of my favorite activities, I kid you not.

    Gorgeous Cassie!! Love how creative you are with tablescapes, and that inspires me:-) I had those amber glasses, but sold them, sadly. I still have them in clear and pink, though. LOVE the white pine as well.

    That amber glass is so pretty Cassie! It just glows. It turns out that there is a Costco a hour away here on mainland. I haven’t been to one in two years! Can’t wait to make that trip. 😉 Happy early Thanksgiving!
