Over the Top!

My dining room table has become more of a staging area for fun things rather than sitting down to dine. You certainly couldn't use this centerpiece at a dinner party. Although I chose to go over the top you could scale this version down for a great centerpiece for your dinner party.
With the rough texture of the grapevine wreath I wove some faux fall leaves before adding these wonderful pumpkins.


With each twig I added I discovered the more whimsical it became.









This year I hope when you put together your centerpiece, you'll think outside the box. Go outside and bring one of your urns in and start building. I had the best time putting this together. Until next time..

Most of the time people have things to uniform for me. This is whispy (such a word?). I love it!
Have fun!

Lynne, you've definitely given me autumn/fall fever. Now I know what I'm going to do tomorrow.

Your centerpiece is so pretty!!! I love it for many reasons, but also for one of the same reasons that Karen said.... I like the whispy look.

Lynne~ oh how I've missed you! This is gorgeous! Since we are under a bit of construction and with the purchase of our new dining set ( quite larger than our previous one ) I've been dreaming of a centerpiece....an over the top one if you will...( although I don't believe it is ) because yours is devine!! Love it!

Hope you have a wonderful week and thank you so much for your kind words.

Big hugs~ J
