DIY - Copycat Christmas Centerpiece

I loved this centerpiece idea in Country Living and decided to try and duplicate.

Not exact, but very pretty and works well with my colors in surrounding rooms.  I purchased all the ornaments at Hobby Lobby and Target, then just used some of my own items from home.  Less than $35 for the new items.

(Anyone know where you can buy all white candy canes?  Looked everywhere.)

Gorgeous Centerpiece

Pink and Gray centerpiece from London floral designer Jane Packer requires just a few steps.

Jane Parker began her career with a small flower shop in London then eventually opened flower schools in New York, Tokyo, and London.  Unable to attend a four week school?  I am too, so pick up her book, Jane Parker's Guide to Flower Arranging.  For ingredients and directions for making this arrangement click on the link and get started.  Click Here.

Great Gift Idea.

Decorate the Table or Island

I met a friend for coffee yesterday and told her about starting my Blog.  After telling her a little bit about my topics, I decided to post some Christmas centerpiece and kitchen island ideas.  Something she was interested in getting started on in her home.  Each of these looks could be done at home and last the entire season, with little to no maintenance.  Pick the color of ornaments that work in your space.  In the coming weeks I will be adding to my Christmas Inspirations and hope to share them with you.  These ideas were found in Country Living, Southern Living, and Pottery Barn.  Enjoy! !
