QUICK CANDLE DECORATING IDEAS FOR FALL

For a quick and pretty Thanksgiving display, choose a collection of Fall-colored taper candles.  Group them in mis-matched holders on a sideboard or the center of your table, with or without a runner (a tapestry-look would be gorgeous).  You might sprinkle some rich colored leaves or snowflakes the children have cut from folded paper  among them, or lay stems of silk flowers here and there. 

Another idea is to cut the tops from miniature pumpkins and squash, hollow them out and then coat the flesh with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.  Next, place a scented votive candle in each one.  Voila! a use for the mini-fruit!  Or you could just pile the fruit into a pretty basket with some tiny indian corn and tuck in a bow.
