A neutral, natural CENTERPIECE

Hello to all....
What a busy week we had around here last week.....just lots going on at Sweet Nothings.

I'm packing away a lot of dishes and such that I never use except for an occasional tablescape. But, during all this packing, nesting, clearing out and cleaning, I wanted to
play around  with another fallish centerpiece for our table.

*WARNING...

PHOTO OVERLOAD

sorry.......:( 

Since neutral centerpieces and such are so popular now, I decided to give it a try......

AND TO BE HONEST, 

this set of the cutest little wire baskets I've ever seen.....

is the very reason I wanted to
 "do something" cute for a tabletop
or my dining room table...

These little cuties were at HOBBY LOBBY'S 50% off sale ....
little wooden handles....
3 different sizes wire baskets....
"...there was a Papa Bear, a Mama Bear and a little tiny Baby Bear"

YEP......
right there for all to see, standing in the middle of one of the largest stores in my town....HOBBY LOBBY,
I FELL KNEE-DEEP in LOVE !

I thought these little cuties would be a great start on a neutral, natural centerpiece....
and at this point, I thought that just about ANYthing (or even maybe NOTHING) would look great in these baskets.

 I have been thrilled hundreds of times that I had the sense to 

order this beautiful BURLAP table runner from my sweet friend,

SONYA at BEYOND THE SCREEN DOOR.

She does some of the finest work I've seen and if you should have time,

you might want to check out her amazing ETSY shop and .....her fabulous prices.
With CHRISTMAS  about to knock our door down, she has some great
gift ideas...and there still MIGHT be time to get in a CUSTOM order or two.

The burlap lends a HUGE hand in my designing a NEUTRAL, NATURAL centerpiece...

 I walked right out in a COTTON FIELD beside my daughter's house

and helped myself to a tiny bit of fluffy, soft, white

COTTON in their BOLLS.

Ya can't get much more NATURAL than that...!!

I added a big beautiful BURLAP bow to the top of the two larger baskets....

WELL....

HELLO, GOOD LOOKIN'

I put a few faux pumpkins inside the two baskets...

I will add the REAL thing a little later....

....right now, they are doing their duty in another grouping...:)

 ...and candle light......ALWAYS candle light.

 UMMMM...what have we here...... ???

  An awesome ROOSTER plate, encrusted with the cutest little

BLACK with White POLKA DOTS...

with A SIDE OF

 COUNTRY ORANGE CINNAMON ROLLS....

O HONEY

I am liking this table more and more and more.......:))

Mr. Sweet, while looking over my shoulder, says THIS is when the tabletop

starts lookin' MIGHTY FINE...

(oh dear...we are soooo INTO food)

ahhhh.....the REAL little BOO.....with all it's CURLY Q  sassiness...

much better, thank you very much.

 HOLY COW >>>>
I think this is a great photo....not due to MY camera talent by a LOOONG shot...., but
THE SUBJECTS.
Textures all over the place...

Several bloggers friends, one in particular that I love to the moon and back, accuses me
(in a loving and fun way)
of "taking pictures of everything that goes in your mouth"

I wonder.....
am I the only person on the planet that thinks certain FOODS
are PRETTY...???

 .....how fun to add a cute little 
HAPPY JACK-O-LANTERN paper napkin.

 I had a lot of fun putting my natural pieces together to make
a pretty table top.
To be perfectly HONEST, tho...
I had much more fun eating these ORANGE CINNAMON ROLLS.....:>)

♥
I hope you have an ORANGE CINNAMON ROLL kind of week.
XOXO bj
