Easy November Centerpiece


What you need:
a rustic tray (shown here the Covington Serving Tray from Willow House)
a light colored plate (shown here, Villa Stoneware Dinner Plate from Willow House)
3 pillar candles of varying heights and shades of fall colors
fall leaves and berries
one or two miniature pumpkins

What I love about this:  easy, budget-friendly, and the low profile lets your enjoy seeing your dinner guests across the table.

You see how simple it is to assemble! This would look great indoors or outdoors, dining table or coffee table.  Enjoy. :)

Simple September Centerpiece


One of my favorite things about September is that it's not quite the end of summer and not quite fall yet.  This super simple centerpiece is inexpensive and celebrates the seasonal transition.

What you need:

  • Any glass bowl, though a footed glass bowl like my Ruffled Glass beauty from Willow House adds a bit of height (click here for ordering information).

  • 2-3 faux or fresh artichokes (these came from Target)

  • 1 bag Fuji apples ($3.99 @ Publix).  I like the Fuji apples because you get the reds, yellows, and greens all in one piece of fruit.

  • 24 inch berry garland (available at local craft stores like Michaels).
How to do it:
Pile apples and artichokes into your glass bowl, making sure the artichokes are visible.  Wrap your berry garland around the outer edge, making sure some of is tucked among the fruit and some is draping off the sides of the bowl.
Enjoy.  Happy September!
