Wordless Wednesday ~ w Linky



I realize that it is still November and our American friends have not yet even celebrated Thanksgiving, but for me.... and judging by a large number of people on our street... many others, Christmas decorating is well under way. Now I face the annual  dilemma of how to change things up a bit from the dozens of other years of decorating.




I ended up with some excess ornaments and the need for a centerpiece.....what to do?!



This is pretty basic, really. Since I would like to go with the "less is more" theme on the table I combined a tall clear vase, some sparkly ornaments and the ever present fake snow.... found at any and all department stores this time of year.



Voila!! Add a glitter place mat and a Christmas bell and there you have an easy, inexpensive center piece for your table.   Colors are your choice and the addition of greenery could also add to a personal touch.
