Autumn Beauties

Creating a table decoration that is not overdone, related to the season and yet contemporary and bright is quite a challenge.

I like to get inspired by nature. On Sunday I took a  walk and found these beautiful leaves which were completely soaked after a heavy surprise rainfall, but still gorgeous. After drying them at home, they made a perfect centerpiece for an autumn dinner decoration. This would also make a perfect decoration for a thanksgiving dinner, simple yet elegant.

For this table decoration you need:

- 3  small flower vases

- a bunch of colorful autumn leaves

- 5 small glass candle holders

- 5 candles

- 1 box of natural, small deco stones or pebbles

Combining my “autumn beauties” with candles and natural deco stones,  they really brightened  our  fall dinner.

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
Enjoy this precious time with family and friends and let us be grateful for all the blessings received.

Picture Of The Week

I love chestnuts. There a few things that symbolize autumn better than these shiny brown nuts.

Found this basket on display in a tiny flower shop close to Via Frattina in the center of Rome.

Aren’t they pretty?
