Just in case you're still planning a huge Thanksgiving gathering and haven't got your table settings in order, there are plenty of resources for decorations and festive accessories at the Pacific Beach Tuesday Farmers' Market. 

Doll up your dining experience using fall produce as natural decoration. You can find miniature pumpkins from Maciel & Family or Suzie's Farm to perch upon your hearth. Or gather brightly hued satsuma oranges and pomegranates from Lone Oak Ranch and display them in prettty dishes across your table. JR Organics will still have a supply of gorgeous, handmade wreaths made from ornamental peppers and flowers, and John Gilruth's booth is full of blooming succulents to give your dinner an earthy, cozy feel. You can also create your own colorful array of blossoms from the many fall flower varieties from Maldonado Flower growers..  

Greeting family and friends with gifts is always a welcome and wonderful surprise. Mikolich Honey has adorable holiday gift packs with cute little beeswax candles and honey samplers. Or stop by and pick out hand lotion, body scrub, or even edible lavender caramel from Keys Creek Lavender Farm. 

Enjoy the Holiday- Many blessings from the SD Weekly Market Team!
