Christmas Centerpiece

Today, as I was waiting for the man to come measure for new kitchen countertops, I decided to throw together a Christmas centerpiece  for the dining room table...


I was inspired by my corner cabinet...silver sleigh bells, white snowflakes, greenery, and floral china, all suggested by my mother from la vie quotidienne...


Do you suppose the kitchen counter guy will like it?  hee! hee!

    I'm sure the counter guy won't appreciate your centerpiece as much as we do. Is the a rustic bucket or basket?
