DIY Effortless Winter Centerpiece

It takes me about 5 minutes to change
 the centerpiece on the breakfast table
 for the seasons.
I've used this one many times.
It works from Fall thru Spring.
I just placed a hurricane lamp in the center of
my large antique bowl, added a pillar candle 
(chosing a color for the season) 
and surrounded it with some of my
gathered pinecones.
I first used this easy centerpiece
 for Fall and it was featured in 
 To add a bit more color, I cut a few
hearts free-hand from a piece of red
scrap paper. I'll add more and this
centerpiece will be work for
 January and February.
 I decided to add a string of tiny white
 battery-operated lights for the winter.
It makes a nice glow along with the candle
 now that it's dark when we're having dinner.

Cheers!

  4. You seriously come up with the best vignettes. I love pine cones and love to leave them out till spring. Congrats on being in country living...it's the only magazine I get, which issue?

  5. What a charming idea! Love the centerpiece, and the hearts -- just enough Valentine! I cheat on my centerpieces, usually laying a storebought wreath flat, with a candle in the middle. Works for me, and pain free. :-)

  8. Rita, mind sharing where you were able to locate the battery operated lights? I can see them being used for many occassions, not only at Christmas time. Pine cones can be used for many holidays throughout the year I would think.

    1. I found the battery operated lights at Target. Walmart has carried them too, mostly around the holidays. yes I think they are great to use all year. There are always pinecones in my house too. XO
