I'm looking for some inspiration.. what are you doing?

I just posted this pic on D&R.  It's a display from a local store and I love it.  To see it larger, you can right click and get its properties - it's a big pic.

I do tall skinny cylindrical vases with fresh flowers in them and pack cranberries in the water.

I'm not hosting Thanksgiving but I did do a fall themed dinner. For my centerpiece I bought 3 larger glass vases and 4 smaller glass vases. I put a candle in each vase and then poured acorns around them. I then took a fall berry garland and weaved it around the vases. Here's a couple of pics (unfortunately, I don't have any close ups):

I've cored out a mini pumpkin before and used it to hold a taper candle before.  Just consider whether you will have all the food at the table and make sure you have enough room for the food and a centerpiece. 
maybe make several low flower arrangements using pumpkins with flowers in the pumpkin.  It's your last chance to use pumpkins before the Christmas decor so go for it!

I'm doing a large bowl with oranges, a pomegranate or two, and whole walnuts. Also thinking about another bowl with apples, poms, and cinnamon sticks. I might put a few mini squashes at the base of the bowls, but that's about it.

I can't find the photo but I think BHG had a great recommendation of filling a cylinder vase 1/3-1/2 way with dry white beans and then sticking in a branch with berries or stalk of wheat from the craft store.  I also like pp's suggestion of flowers in a vase with cranberries as filler.
