Thanksgiving Cornucopia

The cornucopia is a symbol of abundance and Thanksgiving. 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!

A cornucopia was often placed at the center of a table during Thanksgiving to symbolize abundance and plenty. This tradition began in ancient Rome, where it was common for people to place an upturned goat-skin bag filled with fruit or vegetables on their dining room tables during celebrationsThe cornucopia was a symbol of fertility and abundance in ancient Greece. It was often used on coins and statues to represent the “horn of plenty” which, according to mythology, could never run dry no matter how much food or drink was put inside it..

This mythological symbol can still be seen today in many places throughout the world, from on American coins to in our homes during Thanksgiving.

History of the Cornucopia

The cornucopia, or horn of plenty, is a symbol that represents abundance and thanksgiving. It is also known as a harvest symbol because it is traditionally used to celebrate the end of the harvest season. In Greek mythology, it was said that Zeus gave Athena an ornate golden horn filled with fruits and flowers to commemorate her victory over Poseidon in their contest over who would be patron god of Athens. The cornucopia has been used throughout history on coins and sculptures–and even today you can find them on Thanksgiving dinner plates!

The word “cornucopia” comes from Latin words meaning “horn” (cornu) and “a fullness or abundance” (copia). The horn of plenty is an ancient symbol representing a bountiful harvest. In Greek mythology, the goddess Demeter gave a cornucopia to the infant Zeus to celebrate his birth. The cornucopia was later said to be one of Athena’s symbols, but it was also used by other gods and goddesses.

Thanksgiving Flowers and Plants

The poinsettia is a classic holiday flower. The marigold, sunflower and chrysanthemum are also popular Thanksgiving flowers that can be used to create a cornucopia arrangement or centerpiece. The pumpkin is an obvious choice for Thanksgiving decorations–it is the most recognizable symbol of fall and harvest time! If you do not have enough space in your garden for real pumpkins (or do not have one at all), use gourds instead–they are just as festive and much easier to store after Thanksgiving has passed. Squash is not just for eating; it also makes a great addition to any fall decorating scheme! Try painting some squash with colorful designs before arranging them in vases around the house or office space. Add some corn stalks along with them if desired; these will add height while also complementing the orange hue of both fruits’ husks.

If you want to add some color to your Thanksgiving decorating, try painting gourds or pumpkins with colorful designs before arranging them in vases around the house. You can also use squash as a base for fruit arrangements; apples and pears work well here.  If you are looking for a way to add some color to your Thanksgiving decorating, try painting gourds or pumpkins with colorful designs before arranging them in vases around the house.

A cornucopia is a basket filled with fruits, flowers and vegetables. It symbolizes abundance for holidays such as the American Thanksgiving. Again, the cornucopia is a symbol of abundance. The word “cornucopia” comes from the Latin word cornu, meaning “horn,” and copia, meaning “prosperity.” It typically consists of fruits, vegetables and flowers arranged in a large basket or container. The Thanksgiving holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year in America. It commemorates the first harvest feast that settler had with Native Americans after they arrived at Plymouth Rock in 1620. The historical significance of this event is commemorated by sharing food with family members during Thanksgiving dinner–a tradition that continues today across different cultures around the world.

Special 2 Day Flower Sale, Save $10 On Your Purchase

Retailers are getting geared up for that super busy shopping day commonly known as “Black Friday”. The last two years have been very different because of Covid. Thoughts are that 2021 should be improved in terms of in store sales. Still safety precautions are warranted. Huisman Flowers offers many special product sales that would be perfect as a caring holiday gift for someone or for your home. We also offer the convenience and safety of shopping online.

The concept of “Black Friday” has an interesting history. From originally being named Black Friday because people called in sick the day after Thanksgiving, to the police in some major cities referring to the day as Black Friday because of the crowds and traffic to today being commonly referred to as the best holiday shopping day.

In addition to being the best shopping day of the season, Black Friday is also known as the beginning of USA Christmas shopping season. Last year, when Covid was peaking, many people opted for online purchasing so they could safely shop from home. That has been a growing trend for several years and now has become even more popular. However, for those that want to get out and visit stores in person, the opportunities will be there.

Following Black Friday there are a couple of additional special shopping opportunities:

Small Business Saturday occurs between November 24th and November 30th. This day falls in as one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. First observed in the United States on November 27, 2010, Small Business Saturday is within the same theme as Black Friday and Cyber Monday. These are days when shopping at retailers and e-commerce stores is at its height of the season. Small Business Saturday encourages shoppers to visit local businesses to make purchases. Obviously a great financial focus for communities and the entrepreneurs that live and work there.

American Express is a major supporter of Small Business Saturday. They actually promoted the holiday on 2010 on radio, television and Facebook. Huisman Flowers is a one of your local and longtime community neighbors. We take extreme pleasure in supporting our community and would be honored to have you visit us. Our products are top notch and our talented floral designers are among the best in the industry.

Cyber Monday sometimes referred to as “Blue Monday” was created as a special day to encourage consumers to do online shopping. This is a perfect theme now that many people would much prefer to stay in their home and shop from their computer where they are away from crowds.

This day falls on the first Monday following Thanksgiving.  The term Cyber Monday originated in 2005 by a member of the National Retail Federation. It was advertised in a publication as the up and coming biggest online shopping date of the year. During that year 77% of online retailers reported increased sales. By 2017 sales had grown to $6.59 billion.

Huisman Flowers has the most caring and festive Thanksgiving Day flower centerpieces and other floral décor for the holiday’s

Huisman Flowers

This Thanksgiving, make your home festive and fresh with caring flowers from Huisman Flowers. Our talented floral designers have produced some of the most sensational holiday floral products to be found.

One of the best holidays, Thanksgiving as we know originated in 1621. During a harsh winter when 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 decades 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 consistent encouragement, President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a nation wide holiday in 1863.

As many people will be traveling and or hosting the Thanksgiving Day meal in their home, there are guidelines to contemplate according to the CDC.  Some of their refreshed 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 should wear a mask in public indoor settings in communities with substantial to high transmission.
    • Avoid crowded, poorly ventilated spaces.
    • If you are sick or have symptoms, don’t host or attend a gathering.
    • Get tested if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have a close contact with someone who has COVID-19.

If you are considering traveling for a holiday or event, visit CDC’s travel page to help you decide what is best for you and your family. CDC still recommends delaying travel until you are fully vaccinated.

  • If you are not fully vaccinated and must travel, follow CDC’s domestic traveler or international travel recommendations for unvaccinated people.
  • If you will be traveling in a group or family with unvaccinated people, choose safer travel options.
  • Everyone, even people who are fully vaccinated, is required to wear a mask on public transportation and follow international travel recommendations”.

We invite you to shop with Huisman Flowers for best in class Thanksgiving flower centerpieces and other holiday floral products. I also purchased 120 “10-stem Bouquets” that I want to give away to all walk-in customers Friday Nov 19th and Sat Nov 20th as a “Thank you”.  I think it would also be great for our customers to see our new indoor garden space as well as our Holiday gift line.

Eastern Floral Lakeshore and Huisman Flowers are owned and operated by Rick and Nikki Huisman. We purchased the Eastern Floral Grand Haven and Holland flower shops from our family, approximately one year ago. As part of that purchase, we established the Huisman Flowers brand. This month, we celebrate our one year anniversary. If you already do business with us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you haven’t tried Huisman Flowers yet, we sell premium floral products and operate with an unwavering commitment to customer service.

As a way to say “Thank you” to our customers, we will be giving “10-stem Bouquets” away to all walk-in customers on Friday Nov 19th and Sat Nov 20th. Please give us an opportunity to earn your business, trust and respect and come in to see our new indoor garden space and our Holiday gift line.

Warmest Regards,
