Table Scapes

December lends itself to endless ideas for table decorating.  I was searching the web tonight for new ideas to decorate my table for Christmas dinner.  I was drawn to this video clip from The Nate Berkus Show.  There are 4 tablescapes to draw inspiration from.  Enjoy.

I love how he incorporated not only natural elements, but fun ideas for the kids, metallic and glitz and even flowers.  The arrangement they featured is Teleflora's Park Avenue Centerpiece.  Soft and subtle tones.  The silver mercury glass dish can be used through all December, especially for Hanukkah or Christmas.

 It is stunning in creams, white and sage green hues, but also consider other color palettes for the holidays.

A couple candles and this centerpiece is ready for dining.  Traditional and classic.

If you are ready to push the color button, consider adding purples to shades red and creams. Try a head turning arrangement this holiday season.

This arrangement is bursting with orchids, roses, dahlias and chrysanthemums.  These are just some of the many ways the mercury glass bowl can be used this season. What are some ideas for your table?  

Happy Hanukkah!  Merry Christmas!  Enjoy this week with family and friends.

Poinsettias

I visited Kube Pak to select poinsettias for the Christmas season.  What an extraordinary experience.  There is over 1/2 mile of poinsettias of all colors.  My "tour guide" Rob took me around on a golf cart and showed me color after color of beautiful plants of all sizes.

After I chose a few of my first poinsettia Rob and I sleeved the plants and added them to the cart that followed the golf cart from greenhouse to greenhouse.

This year we have selected a few new colors to share that we have taken a fancy to:

Ice Punch

Sonora White Glitter

Winter Blush Marble

Poinsettias are timeless.  The red Prestige or Freedoms are classics, but why not try a fun natural color this year.  Stop by Flowers by Jennie Lynne to pick up a head turning poinsettia.

Toys for Tots 2011!

Flowers By Jennie Lynne is once again teaming up with our local Bucks County radio station, WBCB to collect toys on behalf of the U.S. Marines for their annual Toys For Tots program.  Toys for Tots has been collecting and distributing toys to needy children all over America since 1948!
