What’s better than relaxing at the cottage? What’s better than Thanksgiving dinner? When you have them both together! Even though I was crazily working on my IB extended, I managed to take a break to do some flower arranging during our Thanksgiving weekend a little while ago. Anyone else I know would watch TV, read a book or get a snack, but I walked around outside at the cottage in search of wildflowers!

Grandmom made delicious apple and pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving and had this extra pumpkin so I grabbed it! I got many compliments on the centre piece and it looked fantastic (if I do say so myself )

You’ll need:

• A pumpkin or gourd
• A glass
• Scissors
• Flowers

Cult a hole in the top of the pumpkin and clean it out, as if you’re beginning a jack-o-lantern. Arrange your flowers, put them in a glass with water and place a glass that fits into the pumpkin.

Multiple of these would look great on the table! I hope you experiment with this one. Make sure to send me pictures!
