Tuesday Tip

Go natural! Assemble a ten minute seasonal arrangement. For those who may not have time or desire to  fuss over arrangements for the Thanksgiving table or buffet, this is one easy solution.

Gather up your pumpkins & gourds place them randomly on a runner or tablecloth add some vines and candlelight.  Fresh picked autumn leaves and nuts would also be a nice addition. Might give the kids something to do too!

I've had this up for a couple of weeks and it still looks fresh. It's perfect for a buffet or a long table. I 'll likely need to take another 10 minutes next week to relocate it to our small butler's pantry so I can set the table for dinner!  Next year, I think I'll try assembling this with only one hurricane on a tray. That way I can just pick it up and move it anywhere!

Care Tip: Never leave a pumpkin on a wood surface for any length of time. They are full of moisture and you will likely find mold or a stain when you remove it! If you want to put it directly on wood, make a little trivet by cutting out a round piece of paper towel layered on top of a piece of foil.

Quick Tip: Don't have any vines in your yard? Take a small grapevine wreath and pull it apart. Do this outside otherwise you'll have a big mess to clean up!

Tip To Self: Make sure picture frames are straight and image is centered before taking the picture...oops!
