October 2008



With fall's warm breezes and clear blue skies, entertaining takes on a whole new look ...

A.
A twig table runner is a casual but interesting alternative to placemats. For an instant place setting, attach a card to a mini pumpkin with rugged twine.

B.
Roll up flatware in seasonal colored napkins tied with twine.

C.
It's easy to maintain a tidy table top by displaying seasonal goodies in hurricanes. Choose combinations of mini pumpkins, pomegranates and nuts, varying the vessel sizes for a dynamic grouping.

D.
Create a warm atmosphere with a grouping of these seasonal candle holders. Fill hollowed out mini pumpkins with floral foam, arranged berries and greenery around the outside, then insert tapers directly into the centre.

E.
When guests arrive, they will love the floral arrangement at your front entrance, either inside or out! Pumpkins make wonderful vessels for fall arrangements. Line a hollowed out pumpkin with a plastic bag before inserting floral foam so that the arrangement lasts longer.
