Holiday Centerpieces

Some ideas from Martha Stewart




This centerpiece uses a white pumpkin as a "vase". I love the
fall colors of the flowers and the use of mini pumpkins. 



This one is more of a winter display with the bright red color of the cranberries
against the pure white of the roses. 

Happy Election Day!

Don't forget to VOTE!

Autumn Display

My sister Robin created this lovely display on
 her mantle in her living room.
 I love the combination of the white pumpkins with the 
red branches and mercury glass stands. The mirror above 
the mantle adds a sparkling reflection of the beautiful 
chandelier, the mercury glass, and the candles when 
they are lit. This is one of my favorite holiday 
arrangements Robin has done.

Nail Polish

I am loving the trend of the putty/taupe colored nail polish that has been seen all over the runway and on celebrities. It is an unexpected neutral that is perfect for the Fall season!
