Easy-Peasy Centerpieces/Take 1


Hello, dear friends.  Are you having a good weekend?  The Mister and I have been running around taking care of some last-minute details before the holidays.  Tomorrow we look forward to meeting some friends for a holiday lunch.  

In an attempt to temper my online shopping addiction, I have been spending more time on Pinterest.  It's been a while since I have indulged my appetite for some good old fashion eye candy.

I ran into my neighbor and partner-in-crime, Kathy, at the grocery store.  I found her looking aimlessly at flowers.  She said that she was trying to channel some divine inspiration for some centerpieces for her Christmas table.  She's hosting 17, so she needs a few.  I told her that Pinterest and I were back to being a couple again, and that I found a treasure trove of great ideas.  

And then it hit me.  Why not do a post?  I found so many it turned into two posts.

As with all the beauty and creativity found on this blog, not an ounce of it came from me.

  1. I have to admit that I don’t do centerpieces because I need room for the food, glorious food! Definitely have tapers, napkin rings, Christmas Crackers and a treat.

  2. Love so many of these because they are simple rather than formal. Perfection.
