this weekend's theme

~ centerpieces ~

I don't have a kitchen table, so it was abit of a challenge for me to sell you on the topic of centerpieces. :)


So, I set up shop in office #1. My farm table is finally in place and I was able to play with all my stuff nearby! Yay!

It's my belief ANYTHING can work in a centerpiece. I especially like those that have trays, dishes, handles, or any kind of platform underneath so they're easily removed when you need the entire table.


I wouldn't hesitate to display my favorite treasures on my own table. :)

Have a pretty table you don't wish to hide?

How about defining your area with an empty picture frame?




Nothing shouts spring like snowdrops and clay pots! Simple, pretty, and super easy to remove at a moment's notice.


Since I don't have that kitchen table, this is where mine sits.

Here are a few others I've done not long ago...


A simple tool tote makes an awesome centerpiece.


And my coke crate sat on my kitchen island during Christmas. Cute AND handy!


And then there's my tray which can go virtually anywhere with anything on it.

So there's my off the wall take on centerpieces. Can't wait to see your variations in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

What's your fav thing to use in centerpieces?

~ next up ~

chandeliers

then...

bulletin boards
slip covers

Be sure to check the themed linkups master list to add your newest creations anytime. They're always open. List HERE.

 
~ SNS blah blah linkup rules ~

1. Please link up your intended post, NOT your blog homepage url. (post, then click the title of your post, then cut and paste that url) If your post has been deleted, please try again.

 2. Please put a link in your post (button or text) that leads back to the party so others can see what's up. (see BUTTONS label under main blog header)

 3. This party is geared for DIY type projects we can all attempt to make ourselves. Items for sale may be linked up IF your entry is posted on your blog and in tutorial style.

4. For Home Decor and Crafts, Sewing, Cooking, please link projects up that are new to SNS and/or within 1 month old.  This helps keep content fresh.

The 3rd weekly themed link may have older posts and not brand new to SNS and will remain open for your new additions at any time. Click HERE for the main list.

If you can't decide which category to enter yours in, please just pick ONE and go with it. It's all good!

  3. I love all your centerpieces. Love the frame idea. I'm going to have to remember that one for later. Thanks for hosting again. I always love your parties. I loved your post on giving things away too. We've given away a few things to people that really needed them. Nothing feels better to know someone else is enjoying something we used and loved too. Have a great weekend.

  33. I have been to your blog several times before, but for some reason never stumbled upon the themed linky parties. I LOVE IT! It is so nice to look at what others have done in a specific category that fits a project I am currently working on. These parties make me want to do something chandelier or bulletin board related so that I can link up to the next few :) Thanks for hosting :)

  34. Donna ~ I just LUV your linky parties!!! They are so much fun ~~~~ and I could spend hours and hours here just soaking up all the inspiration! Holy moly!!! :) I just love your Coca Cola centerpiece. I have a 7-UP bottle carrier that I never would'ave thought of using. But I will next year!!!! Thanks for your SNS party, Donna! You rock, girl! :)
