It is traditionally made of metal or pottery, with fruits and vegetables spilling out of the horn. The word "cornucopia" comes from the Latin cornu copiae, meaning "horn of plenty." In mythology, it was said that Zeus gave Athena a magical goat-skin bag (another name for this type of container) which never ran out no matter how much food was put inside it! The image above shows an ancient Roman statue depicting a deity holding such a bag over his shoulder; he's surrounded by animals representing different types of produce: grapes for wine, apples for cider...and even eggs!

Visit the world class floral designers at Allen’s Flowers to find the very best flowers and gifts to make your home festive this Thanksgiving

Allen's Flowers Thanksgiving, one of the favorites among holidays will be here in two weeks. We invite you to shop with Allen's Flowers and create a festive holiday atmosphere in your home with our elegant flowers and gifts. Our world class floral designers have produced some of the most elegant holiday spirited floral products you will find. Thanksgiving evolved in 1621. As we all know from our history studies, it was a bitterly cold winter after the Pilgrims first landed in America. They were able to survive by the generosity of the Native Americans that shared food with them. To repay their new friends, the Pilgrims held a three-day feast. The bounty they shared included dried fruits, boiled pumpkin, turkey, venison and other foods. A slightly different menu from what we are accustomed to but no doubt a delightful feast at that time. Over the many years the theme of a celebration of harvest has continued to evolve. Today we think of Thanksgiving as a time to give thanks for our foundation of this great Nation. Of course, it is also the official start of the holiday season and a special time of fellowship with family and friends. After receiving encouragement from some people, President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a nationwide holiday in 1863. As many people will be traveling and or hosting the Thanksgiving Day meal, there are guidelines to contemplate according to the CDC.  Some of their modified guidelines from last year are: Protect those not yet eligible for vaccination such as young children by getting yourself and other eligible people around them vaccinated. Wear well-fitting masks over your nose and mouth if you are in public indoor settings if you are not fully vaccinated. Even those who are fully vaccinated [...]

Thanksgiving Floral Decorating Ideas

As one of our favorite holidays, Thanksgiving is a time for entertaining, which means lots of decorating the house to get in the spirit. And, when it comes to decorating and the rich and robust colors of fall, flowers and greenery hold center court. We have put together some Thanksgiving floral decorating ideas that you can incorporate in your home and for your Thanksgiving feast table (and, for some, your Thanksgivvukah table!). Del Mar Sunset Thanksgiving Centerpieces Thanksgiving centerpieces come in all styles and arrangements, including your traditional cornucopia arrangement in a wicker basket shaped as the horn of plenty or a floral centerpiece with candles. However, there are other decorations you can consider. For example, why not ask the floral design team at Allen’s Flowers and Plants to design a custom Thanksgiving centerpiece for you that is arranged within a treasured family vase or heirloom bowl? This personalizes it and provides a symbol of the family coming together to share their appreciation and give thanks for what they all have. Also consider some unique items like stalks of wheat or dried flowers and leaves arranged together in a tin container or vase. You could also order a topiary from Allen’s Flowers and Plants to create a dramatic and elegant Thanksgiving centerpiece statement. Then, there are the menurkeys, which combine the menorah and Thanksgiving symbols into one Thanksgivvukah centerpiece. Thanksgiving Table Flowers Thanksgiving flowers do not have to just grace the center of the table. You can create individual flower arrangements at each place setting. You might place a long stem rose on each plate as a welcome, tucking it into the folded fabric napkin. Or, you could float flowers in wine glasses to create a sophisticated touch for [...]
