So…I promised I would decorate my table for Thanksgiving, and I just wanted to share the results of that. It feels a little skimpy, even to me, but I didn’t feel like doing a whole lot decorating after spending hours in the kitchen (which is exactly why I usually forgo decorating the table altogether) 
So I went for simple and festive, complete with fall colors.
It took a lot of time to put together, but it’s finally done! The 2009 Green Gift Guide from Green Your Decor and Green & Gorgeous is officially live! In it, you’ll find great ideas for all the people on your holiday list. The categories are women, men, kids, teens, anyone, stocking stuffers, pet lovers, for the home, and gifts that give back. You’ll find nearly 100 ideas for gifts that will satisfy any eco-conscious gift recipient, but that will still please anyone else. This is a great opportunity to show all your loved ones how easy, and beautiful, green living can be.
If you can’t resist the urge to take advantage of the deals available today and this weekend, at least make sure you try to buy green. Here is a list of coupons and sales from green retailers. Pay close attention to the dates on these sales. They are for a limited time only!
It’s late in the day, I’m stuffed and my husband is asleep I figured now would be a good time to take a minute and say Happy Thanksgiving to all the wonderful readers who have stuck with me, Green Your Decor and Green & Gorgeous.
I appreciate all of you more than you know, and I have a whole lot to be thankful for.
Come back tomorrow for a heads up on Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals from the best green retailers on the web. If you can, ditch shopping on Black Friday altogether and spend time with your family instead. But if you must buy, buy green!

I hate to say it, but I’ve never been big on decorating for Thanksgiving. After I have spent all day in the kitchen over a hot oven and stove, the last thing I want to think about is how to make our place settings look nice or about lighting candles for ambience. This year, however, I have vowed to make our table a sight to behold, even if my husband, daughter and I will be the only ones who get to enjoy it. So here are some tips for making your Thanksgiving table sustainable:

I’m Jennae Petersen, and I’m a lot of things. A mother, a graphic artist, a connosieur of beautiful interiors and a purveyor of all things design. Green Your Decor was borne of frustration in my attempts to find eco-friendly housewares that were also beautiful, and inspiration to do something to reduce my own carbon footprint and help others do the same in a beautiful way.
I get this question a lot, so I wanted to make the answer easy to find. Yes, I am a graphic designer, and I designed this site myself. The theme I’m using is called Thesis, and I think it’s the best WordPress theme out there. Your site can look pretty much any way you want it to. Want to know more?
