I headed to the grocery store this afternoon with my mile - long list for Thanksgiving. I needed to pick up two pears for the stuffing I'm making, and I stumbled upon Seckel pears. I don't know how I hadn't ever noticed them before, but they are THE CUTEST THINGS EVER! I bought a bag and had a plan to use them on my Thanksgiving tablescape. Yes, you read the word tablescape. I like to pretend I'm Sandra Lee sometimes. When I'm not pretending I'm Martha, that is.
This is a Seckel pear compared to a regular one. SO CUTE! I thought I would be original and make them into place cards, but as it turns out, I am not the first to do so. I found this cute image via the kitchn. I might just put the little card in front of the pear. Nothing says Thanksgiving like slicing open a finger while making place cards out of mini pears.
I'll have to share my table with you all - I am being brave (read: crazy) and making my own floral arrangement this year using my flower arranging class skills. It will, no doubt, feature mini pears as an accent in the arrangement to tie in the place cards. Martha, watch your back.

So cute!! I have never seen such tiny pears either!!
Of course, my tablescape is non-existent this year, so that's probably a good thing.
this is such a great idea! i love natural things on the table :)
So cute, I've never seen them either! Darling place cards too.
I love using fruit as a decoration. Adorable and yummy!
Oh, these have to be the cutest, and a totally new one on us, we hadn't seen these before!
May your week ahead be wonderful Miss Preppy!
