Vintage Bowls as Centerpiece

Funny how things can become a centerpiece when you are trying to sell something. I decided to sell my set of Vintage Hall Autumn Leaf Bowls. I had them on my dining room table to take pictures of them. After a week of not selling, I thought of putting them away and then thought, why not use them for my centerpiece. And so I did!

I used some floral foam in he bowls to set them on. Added some leaves around the bottom of the bowls and a candle on top. (Not sure why those knives are there, ignore them)

I had bought a rustic garland - just some lights, pine cones and pieces of bark. I mixed that in with the leaf garland down the center.

At each end I placed candles that I made. I had these square candle holders that I use for various occasions.

I placed a white candle in the holder and surrounded it with miniature pumpkins. On the outside, I wrapped a beige ribbon around near the bottom.

I added a bow and some berries and an acorn. They were simple but cute.

I place one facing outward on either side and wove the garland around them.

At each end, I placed some turkey salt and pepper shakers. Not very fancy yet, but starting to look like Thanksgiving is coming. At least I could use my vintage bowls instead of putting them in the cupboard. I am getting started.
