Tablescape Tuesday

I'm getting ready for the holidays. I pulled out my tableclothes and plates to see what I still need.

This is what I've come up with so far:

I took some black beans (from out of the kitchen) and poured them into a vase then I stuck the feathers I'd used for my Halloween costume into the beans and added some silk flowers I'd gotten at Joann Fabrics on a 70% off sale. This is one way to make a very inexpensive centerpiece but I think it turned out pretty.


Then I pulled out the candelabra and tried another look:


I love the ambiance of candles and flickering candlelight, especially at the holidays.





It's the season of sharing, so do you have any inexpensive ideas for holiday centerpieces?
