Centepiece Wednesdays

Welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday- Sunshine Of My Life

By The Style Sisters - Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday!!

Today I am dedicating this Tablescape to my 2 daughters who happen to be the

Sunshine of my Life!

I got my inspiration from Pottery Barn. This vase or candle holder looks like a fishbowl only they have a little pedestal under it and are charging $79.00

So I happened to have a lovely fishbowl that I bought from Walmart. I wanted my centerpiece to look like the pottery barn one but I did not have any nuts around so I filled the bottom of it with smooth black rocks. Then I added water about 3/4 full. Then I added the surprise texture of raffia!! I wound it around and let it soak in the water...then I removed the water and added a funky necklace that had brown beads and white pearls on it and tucked it in and around the raffia so you could see it when you are seated. Then since I didn't have any fresh Sunflowers I used silk and stuck them in down into the rocks to hold them in place.

Then I decided to use burlap as a tablecloth and I also wrapped up my chairs with a "ribbon" of burlap for an added touch.

All I did was wrap the "Ribbon" of burlap around the back of the chair and tied it in a knot.
I think it just adds to the look.

I used my yummy gold goblets and my green tall glasses, my dollar store black votive candle holders and white shabby frames with photos of my daughters in them.

They are the "Sunshine of my Life" and I miss living by them sooo much!
(My youngest just moved back to Utah so we are once again empty nesters)

I think this is a perfect End of Summer tablescape...you could put photos from some of the fun things you did over the summer and talk about it as you enjoy the meal.

The dinner plates are from Tai Pan (Utah), the gold and green salad plates are from Tuesday Morning, the Sunflower appetizer plates are from TJMAxx, the Napkins are from Jackalop (New Mexico) the goblets are from JC Penny's!
