Simple Faux Floral Valentine’s Day Centerpiece

Simple Faux Floral Valentine’s Day Centerpiece

I fill an old sugar bowl with a few faux flowers then decorate it with heart-shaped stickers and before I know it…

I have a very simple, but oh so perfect, Valentine’s day centerpiece.

I placed felt heart stickers on a small sugar bowl (the same bowl that I used for last years Valentine’s Day centerpiece)

Then I filled it with faux pink flowers that I picked up about a year ago at the Dollar Tree.

And I have a simple little centerpiece for this year’s Valentine’s Day!

Five Easy and Simple Christmas Decorating Ideas

Five Easy and Simple Christmas Decorating Ideas

Christmas is right around the corner, so what better time than now to share a few easy and simple ideas to help with last-minute Christmas decorating.

If you have some ribbon, a few empty jars or vases and some extra Christmas decorating items then I’m sure you can bring these together too!

I’m using everything that I’m sharing today in my kitchen but they are honestly ideas that you can use anywhere in your home.

Ok, lets get started…

Five Easy and Simple Christmas Decorating Ideas

I love faux flowers so it’s no surprise that I pulled a few out to help with these decorations.

Here I’m using two hydrangeas that I used back in spring along with a few small poinsettias. An old recycled jar holds all those flowers together and some ribbon ends up wrapped around my jar and this one is done.

This next one is so simple but kind of a classic. I mean, who doesn’t like filling up containers with Christmas ornaments!

Red Christmas ball ornaments fill up a large mason jar that I wrap with that red and white ribbon also used with my hydrangeas and that’s it for this one.

I found that red and white (Dollar Store) ribbon so beautiful and couldn’t help but use it on practically all of my kitchen decorations.

Here I wrapped an old glass lotion bottle with my ribbon then filled that up with a few red glittered berry stems.

Last year I used these candy canes to decorate this same area in my kitchen and really loved it so I decided to use them again and just change it up a bit with some gold ribbon and then scatter them around a bit more compared to last year.

Lastly, a single pine cone ends up in a small drinking glass, a white candle in a jar with gold curling ribbon, and that’s it for my easy and simple Christmas decorating ideas.

Hope you enjoyed these easy and simple Christmas decorating ideas.

Thanks for stopping by!

9 Simple Fall Decor Ideas

9 Simple Fall Decor Ideas

Today I’m sharing 9 simple fall decorations.

I started by picking out my colors. I love color! And I almost always end up with a mix of different colors when I’m decorating. So for these fall decorations, I decided to use three classic fall colors. Red, yellow, and orange but I also included some blue as well.

Then I brought in the two usual items I love to decorate with. Faux flowers and ribbon.

I added in a few classic items like pumpkins and pine cones and brought that all together with a few new items as well as items I already had at home to create these 9 simple decor items I’ll be sharing with you now.

ok, let’s get started…

9 Simple Fall Decor Ideas

9 Simple Fall Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

For this first one, I used a white candle, a small glass cup from the dollar store, yellow ribbon, red checkered ribbon, and a few sprigs of small leaves that I pulled off of an old faux plant.

I started by securing my yellow ribbon with some scotch tape here…

then finished wrapping it around my glass and secured it again with more tape.

I finished by tying a bow with my checkered red ribbon over the yellow ribbon then tucking my small sprigs into the red ribbon. Then in goes my candle to the glass cup.

For my next one, I filled a cylinder vase with mini pumpkins then wrapped green ribbon around my vase, securing it with tape.

Then I finished off with some Dollar Tree orange/gold ribbon that I picked up a couple of years ago for this fall centerpiece.

It doesn’t get any more simple than this next one!

I used a recycled old jar, filled it with a couple of old mini pumpkins and some pine cones then wrapped my checkered red ribbon finishing off with a simple bow around the front.

Now I’m using three blue faux flowers that I picked up over the summer at my local dollar store…

and added them to a blue vase that I found at the Christmas Tree Shop, then finished with jute twine tied to my vase.

Here I used three red faux poppy flowers from Walmart, another old jar and then I wrapped my jar with three different ribbons…

Red velvet ribbon, yellow ribbon, and my checkered red ribbon.

To create a simple wreath, I used a small paper plate, cut the center out with a craft knife…

wrapped burlap around my paper plate and secured it with hot glue…

hot glued a few faux leaves, one sunflower pulled off its stem, and a few red berries to complete this simple wreath.

Please excuse me while I ramble a bit. I’m always amazed at how many times I’m able to reuse my faux flowers. I’ve used that sunflower you see on the wreath over and over again since picking it up a few years ago at the Dollar Tree. It started off as a couple of bunches of sunflowers but since then I’ve taken it apart many times and created a number of different pieces with them.

I’ve actually used many of the items you see today in a number of different posts throughout this blog. Those eucalyptus leaves you’ll see down below were used last year for fall decor. My single sunflower on my wreath has made a presentation for spring, fall, and who knows how many other times! My two yellow flowers accompanying that large red rose down below have also appeared a few different times.

As for those fun white chrysanthemums a few photos down, they made their debut right here. Even those sweet little red berries up top popped up to say hello here.

Anyway, I always love seeing how many times I can use these beautiful flowers and thought it would be fun to share with you as well.

This next one may just be my favorite.

I’m using another glass cup just like the one I used for my white candle, burlap, orange twine, a large faux yellow peony from the dollar store, and a bunch of eucalyptus leaves.

I cut a few stems of leaves off of that bunch of leaves, then combined them with my yellow faux flower.

And wrapped my cup with burlap and orange twine…

Now I’m using pine cones, a glass vase, glitter red ribbon, a red rose, yellow faux flowers, and faux leaves…

All of that comes together in my vase, finishing off with a simple red sparkly bow.

(Red rose from Walmart. I picked up the yellow flowers about a year ago at Michaels)

For my last one, I’m using orange and white faux flowers…

(Orange faux flowers from the Christmas Tree Shop)

Mixing those two colors together and displaying them in this old Walmart vase I’ve used over and over again around my home.

Well, that’s it for this one my friends.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way…May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

3 Simple Faux Floral Summer Arrangements

3 Simple Faux Floral Summer Arrangements

It never fails…

I start working on my floral arrangements and more times than not…

I reach for an old pickle jar instead of my store-bought vases.

I love them…

Beer bottles, cans, a flower pot, sugar bowls, tiny travel bottles, and even a smartwatch box. I’ve used them all!

Between the vases that I’ve picked up from actual stores and the recycled containers that I’ve saved at home, I’ve developed quite a collection.

I find these containers so easy to work with and I can’t help but wonder every time I hold an empty can of beans in my hands, what can I possibly do with this.

These three simple summer faux floral arrangements are no exception to the recycled container love. They ended up in three small jars that I wrapped with ribbon, just like many of my other simple faux floral arrangements, and then filled with Dollar Store faux flowers and came up with three simple but very pretty summer table decorations for my home.

Let’s get started!

3 Simple Faux Floral Summer Arrangements

3 Simple Faux Floral Summer Arrangements - The Semi Organized Ant

The first arrangement consists of:

3 stems of faux flowers, all light shades of purple…

and yellow ribbon and an old jar.

I wrapped my yellow ribbon around the jar, securing it around the back with some scotch tape…

then I took the wisteria stem and cut off a long portion of it then cut down my other two flowers to fit the jar.

And this little gal is done!

My second arrangement consists of:

3 white lilies and one stem of foliage.

White and yellow ribbon and an old jar.

I cut down my flowers to fit the jar as well as a portion of the leaves to tuck behind the white lilies and wrapped my ribbon around the jar, again securing it with scotch tape.

And this one’s ready to go!

My third arrangement consists of:

A couple of cherry blossom stems and the same stem of leaves that I used for my second arrangement.

Another old jar and white and jute ribbon.

I wrapped my ribbon, first the white ribbon, then the jute ribbon on top of the white…

then I cut off 4 short pieces of the dark pink cherry blossom stem, a small section of the light pink cherry blossom, and a piece of what I had left from my leaves.

And my third summer faux floral arrangement is all set!

Well, that’s it for this one my friends.

Thanks for stopping by!

Simple Aqua Green and Peach Faux Floral Summer Centerpiece

Simple Aqua Green and Peach Faux Floral Summer Centerpiece

Today I’m sharing a simple summer centerpiece using aqua green, peach and white items that I picked up from a few dollar stores.

I combined a few faux roses, a few faux peonies that I found at the Dollar Tree and some matching ribbon to complete this easy trio.

Let’s get started!

Simple Aqua Green and Peach Faux Floral Summer Centerpiece

I’ll be using travel pump bottles as my mini “vase” for the flowers

Dollar Tree burlap

Silver metallic wire ribbon from the Container Store

Clear marbles that I’ve had for years!

Peach and white roses from my local dollar store and aqua green peonies from the Dollar Tree

And a few small white flowers

Ok here we go…

I dropped my clear marbles into the container…

Then I wrapped that pretty burlap and silver ribbon onto my container.

I secured the burlap with some scotch tape (as I do with most of my centerpieces that have ribbon) you can also use a glue gun here but I find using tape to be much faster than waiting for the glue gun to heat up.

(You can better see here how I use tape to keep my ribbon in place)

Then I dropped in one peach rose, one white rose, one aqua green peony and placed the smaller white flowers in the center of the roses and peony…

and that’s it!

Add in two more of these sweet little arrangements…

And I’m done!

Well, that’s it for this one my friends.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way…May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas

Pink, green, and yellow…

you gotta love them.

Three beautiful spring colors!

That bright and happy yellow.

Those vibrant greens.

And pink, oh that beautiful pink…if you are a girly girl like me, you just love it.

I was really drawn to lime green this year for spring.

Lime green hydrangeas to be exact!

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

So I knew that would be the color to focus on for my faux floral home decor arrangements.

But I usually have a hard time deciding on just one color, so I had to call in all the spring color troops. Yep, pink and yellow (with some neutral white touches) really helped bring it all together.

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

I put together a few simple arrangements using faux flowers, ribbon, a few Easter eggs, and a bunch of artificial limes I found at Target. I’ll probably keep them out all throughout the spring months and hope they can offer you some inspiration to bring a little spring cheer into your home too!

ok let’s get started!

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

First,

Decorative white stones fill a long vase…

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

Five faux hydrangeas and a few small yellow flowers…

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

A few artificial limes scattered around the vase and this one is done.

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

I have this one sitting on our kitchen table. The lighting is not always the best there so I decided to photograph it in our living area along with everything else that you’ll see below 🙂

Next up,

Eight faux chrysanthemums…

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

Yellow ribbon, burlap, and lime green curling ribbon.

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

I’m keeping the yellow ribbon and burlap in place with a small piece of scotch tape around the back then wrapping the green curling ribbon around and making a small bow as you see above. I show the steps, with pictures, in this post (FYI: I’ve used other inexpensive tapes in the past to hold ribbon in place but I find that scotch tape works the best for keeping everything in place)

This one is ready to go!

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

For my next one I’m using a few pieces of flowers that I pulled from my stash of faux flowers.

I’ve used these many times in past blog posts. You can check them out here, here, here and here.

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant
I cut the center portion of those pink flowers off of a few other flowers I had and then hot glued it onto my pink flowers. Before doing that I used a blow dryer to open the pedals up a bit. You can also see how they originally looked in this post.

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

Then I’m using an old can to hold my flowers (like I did in last years spring post)

I cleaned out the can, removed the label and covered it with white printer paper using scotch tape to hold it in place around the back and then added my three ribbons.

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant
I debated whether or not to add this next one since it’s so simple but it’s probably the one I’m looking at the most throughout the day. I have it right by my kitchen sink (I may just spend most of my day at that sink, mommy life) and I really enjoy looking at it so I figured why not throw it in.

It doesn’t get any simpler than this. I cleaned out an old spice jar and pulled off a section of one of my lime green hydrangeas then added a green sunflower I picked up years ago at Ikea then placed one lime and a sparkly white egg (from last years Easter post)

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

Now I’m filling a short, wide vase with a few old white and green Easter eggs (all from dollar stores, white eggs again used in last years Easter post)

Then some burlap, gold ribbon, and lime green curling ribbon to finish up.

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

Next up, a silver charger plate and white dinner plate, a small basket filled with artificial limes, a single faux hydrangea and this ones ready to go (who doesn’t love decorating with limes and lemons for the warmer weather!)

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

I found my teeny tiny basket at the Christmas Tree Shop but another item that would work in place of the basket would be a small white bowl.

I’m keeping this one in our kitchen over our toaster oven but I think this would also work for a small kitchen table or if you have a larger basket I would fill it up with a bunch of these limes and either add a few hydrangeas into the basket with the limes or scatter them around the basket.

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

Moving on to the next one…

Two hydrangeas get cut down to fit another old can…

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

Then three bright pink faux flowers are added in.

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

You can make a few of these to scatter along a table or combine it with a larger one like I did here with my first arrangement.

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

A few old sparkly Easter eggs and a decorative white plate (also from the Christmas Tree Shop)…

Simple Spring Table Decor Ideas - The Semi Organized Ant

accompany a handful of faux tulips and a couple of faux chrysanthemums in a vase with the same yellow ribbon, burlap and curling ribbon I used with my other arrangements.

Valentine’s Day Centerpiece – Using Items I Already Have

Valentine’s Day Centerpiece – Using Items I Already Have

I love faux flowers.

They take up a lot of my (very little) mommy free time.

I have to admit though, it’s a fairly new love of mine.

So I figured, what better time than Valentine’s Day to write a bit about this new (ish) love of mine…

I made a spring centerpiece a couple of years ago after taking a trip to the Dollar Tree and there they were, a bush of pretty pink roses. I couldn’t resist. Normally I’d walk right by that area full of faux flowers and never give it a second look but this time around, those roses were calling me! I didn’t hesitate to grab them and figured why not see what I can make and possibly share it on this blog…

A few days later I picked up a couple of yellow and white roses at another dollar store and after that, I eventually made what I considered to be “a unique” spring centerpiece. (Ok don’t laugh, but it was basically a bouquet on a table)

After that, I was hooked!

I originally started this blog to mainly write about my love of organizing (or semi organizing I should say) but once I made that spring centerpiece I switched my attention almost completely to faux floral centerpieces.

This “love” for faux floral centerpieces has not come naturally to me though!

I seem to always picture the finished arrangement in my head (resembling something you’d see in a magazine) but when I actually start bringing it all together, it’s usually a hot mess.

So I really have to push myself when I’m working on a new centerpiece. Many times, these centerpieces involve days of my small dining table covered with flowers, vases, and ribbon everywhere. I’ll walk by that table throughout the day and almost always feel frustrated! It’s rare when I get it right the first time I try putting something together, no matter how simple or complex I try to make them.

So why do I keep trying and even consider this something that I love? Because the finishing product always brings days if not weeks of smiles to my face! And honestly, I think there are certain little hobbies, skills, and talents that our good Lord up above has gifted us with! Hobbies that really bring us joy if we stick with them and push ourselves to learn about them. This one without a doubt is one of those!

I enjoy every piece that I manage to create and I rarely ever am in a rush to change it out whenever a new holiday or season comes around.

That’s probably why I always end up showing these centerpieces on my blog very (VERY) late compared to how early I see other blog posts or videos for seasonal decor going up. (*cough* like today’s post *cough* a few days before Valentine’s day *cough* ?)

Ok well, let me stop for now…Valentine’s day is right around the corner after all. Let me jump into sharing my simple centerpiece that came together just like many of my others have in the past, with items I already had at home.

Hope you enjoy it!

Valentine’s Day Centerpiece – Using Items I Already Have

I start with an old sugar bowl and a few stickers that I had from last years Valentine’s Day (yep, that’s the kid in me coming out to play)

(These stickers are great for something temporary like this Valentine’s Day centerpiece. They peel on and off very easily without leaving a mess behind. I actually moved them around multiple times before finishing)

(Sugar bowl also used here and here)

Then I grabbed my flowers and a wire cutter and cut the stems down to fit my sugar bowl.

As you can probably see in the picture, I had to cut off a good amount of the stem and make the flowers pretty short. That’s because I’m working with a very small bowl.

I picked these pink peonies (from Michaels) and peach peonies (from Ikea) to work with but so many other shades would work here too! I’m thinking classic red or white with red sticker hearts, or even all pink flowers and stickers.

(flowers also used here and here)

Drop those into my sugar bowl.

I kept the peach flowers all together on one side and then did the same for the pink flowers.

Next up, a small white plate and a few small red roses that I’ve had for years…

come together like this…

then join my sweet little sugar bowl that’s all dressed up in gold sticker hearts…

and off to our table it goes!

Pick a snowy New York day to photograph this little gal and on to my blog she goes…

ok friends, thanks for stopping by!

Simple Christmas Table Decor Ideas

Simple Christmas Table Decor Ideas

Red and white Christmas decor has really caught my eye this holiday season.

That beautiful red color, a classic for Christmas, paired with snowflake white just seems to go together perfectly.

That’s where I wanted to focus on when working on my Christmas home decor this season. But then something else started happening. Greens and gray shades started grabbing my attention too.

So I’ve slowly been putting together a few red and white pieces throughout the month, whenever my toddler would give me a few minutes to play with (mommy dilemmas) that I’ve scattered throughout my home. I tried to keep my focus on red and white colors but grays (or silvers) and green shades are mixed into everything I made, helping bring everything together.

Faux flowers and ribbons have really been my go-to lately so that’s mainly what you will see in this blog post.

Everything that I’m sharing is great for placing on small tables, like end tables, or if you have a small dining table like mine they are perfect for that too.

ok let’s get to it, Christmas is a few days away after all ?

Here we go…

Simple Christmas Table Decor Ideas

First up, my “Pom Pom” vase.

I was lucky enough to find this Pom Pom stem in the same dollar store that I bought my Pom Poms for my garland.

It’s a perfect match to that garland and it doesn’t get any simpler than this when it comes to easy decor.

I cut the stem down to fit this long cylinder vase, stretched out those skinny leaves a bit then added a single layer of white ribbon right at the center of my vase.

For this one, I pulled out five white poinsettias from the previous year’s centerpiece…

and tied a sparkly red ribbon on my vase.

This one may be even easier than the Pom Pom vase.

A few candy canes in an old jar that I’m constantly re-using (my candy canes as you may be able to see are not real but of course real can work here too)…

with a simple red ribbon and onto my kitchen hutch this one goes!

This one may just be my favorite…

Three large red faux peonies, the bushes of small white faux flowers that I used for my fall kitchen centerpiece along with an extra bush of small white flowers that I added to what I already had…

drop that into a small vase (I let the flowers kind of take their own shape in the vase).

Place all of that on top of a pretty plaid red fabric napkin that I’ve had forever…

And I’m in love!

The next one starts with an inexpensive cake stand…

A white plate over a silver charger plate…

Three mini ornaments…

Another white faux poinsettia along with one bush of mini red roses…

I dropped that poinsettia down the front of a small white sugar bowl then tucked the red flowers around the back of that poinsettia and this one is done and ready to take to my kitchen table.

Another one that ended up in my kitchen started with a simple clear bowl that I filled with white tinsel to give me the look of snow.

Then I placed a couple of small white bottle brush trees, pine cones, and a few red berries to finish it off.

and that’s it for my simple Christmas decor!

Now, they may have been made to sit on a table for this holiday season but for now…

they’re just going to hang out by our Christmas tree…

ok friends, thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way…May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

Fall Kitchen Table Decor – Pears and Plaid Green

Fall Kitchen Table Decor – Pears and Plaid Green

Today I’m sharing my fall kitchen table decor.

It’s simple to put together and most of the items I’m using are things I already have at home.

It started with these sweet little pears.

I picked them up probably when fall first started. I had just bought some pear juice thinking it would be a nice way to start enjoying the new season.

I usually tend to crave iced apple cider when fall kicks in but this time around, the pears were calling me.

I knew I had to find some pears to decorate my kitchen and luckily, my local dollar store just so happened to have a few. Yay!

They were kind of funny looking at first, I have to admit.

That (almost) way too bright green color and some leaves that were slightly beat up made me wonder if I would be able to do anything with them, but they still caught my eye and I couldn’t pass them up.

They were coming home with me.

I scattered them on my table along with a few simple faux flowers, a couple of jars, an old-ish vase, and then brought that all together with a plaid green kitchen towel that I found on amazon.

Don’t you just love plaid for fall!

ok let’s get started…

Fall Kitchen Table Decor – Pears and Plaid Green

First, I’m using the same two roses that I also used over the summer to decorate my kitchen table (from Michaels)…

and some small rocks that me and my daughter brought home from the beach this summer…

and I’m dropping that all into these two old jars…

That I then finished off with some white ribbon around the center to go with my other fall centerpiece.

(I just held the ribbon in place with a small piece of tape around the back)

Next up, these pretty little white roses that I recently found at my local dollar store.

I’m using 3 bunches of roses that I cut down and then removed most of the leaves.

I then dropped those flowers into this old vase, another dollar store find, and finished by wrapping twine and white ribbon to complete the simple arrangement.

To keep the twine in place I just tucked the ends into the twine after wrapping it around the vase. Since the twine is slightly stiff it’s able to hold itself in place as long as you wrap it tightly.

Then I placed everything on top of this plaid green kitchen towel and finished off by scattering my dollar store pears all around the arrangements.

And that’s it!

It’s nice to know that inspiration can come from anywhere!

Even something like pear juice 😉

ok friends, thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog!

Fall Centerpiece with a Few “Out of Season” Faux Flowers

Fall Centerpiece with a Few “Out of Season” Faux Flowers

One yellow hydrangea, a bunch of tulips, a handful of roses…

A few sunflowers…

A few random flowers…

And magically

I have the perfect bouquet for my fall centerpiece.

Normally I wouldn’t think of using tulips or a yellow hydrangea for fall decor but a few weeks ago I was sitting on my bedroom floor (way past midnight) pulling out every single yellow flower I could find and I couldn’t resist.

So I figured why not use them to decorate for fall.

I had no idea why I was even drawn to all these flowers in the first place but once I was done putting them together I realized something.

My centerpiece reminded me of the sun!

So right there I knew exactly why I went for all those yellow flowers.

My daughter’s new favorite movie is the bee movie. (Such a cute movie!) That movie has shades of yellow in practically every scene. The bees, the honey, Vanessa’s dress in the court…

She wants to watch it almost EVERY DAY, and far be it for me and my husband to say no to a little resting/me peacefully making dinner time.

So we give in.

And then…

We make use of the time however we can, we rest, we do chores/dinner, I end up with that song “here comes the sun” in my head all day long and then I end up with a beautiful fall centerpiece that I’m about to share with you right now.

Ok guys here we go…

Fall Centerpiece with a Few “Out of Season” Faux Flowers

Fall Centerpiece with a Few “Out of Season” Faux Flowers - The Semi Organized Ant

First, I started with an old large mason jar

You can find the same size jar here but I found mine at my local dollar store for less than five dollars so you may want to check there first if you have one near by 😉

I wrapped a white ribbon around the middle part of the jar

Then I took my large hydrangea (from Michaels, also used here) along with another yellow flower and dropped them in on opposite sides.

Next…

I dropped three flowers here…

And one bunch of tulips behind those three flowers (from Dollar Tree, also used here)

I may have cried a bit when I photographed those tulips

So pretty!

Ok next…

This is where I started to scatter in the rest of my sunflowers (that I also used here and here) as well as a few roses.

I moved the flowers around where ever it was needed to bring everything together.

and that’s it!

all done with my new fall centerpiece

I hope you enjoyed this fall centerpiece with a few “out of season” faux flowers.

ok friends, thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog!
