CENTERPIECE IDEAS FOR FALL AND CHRISTMAS FROM

My favorite church bazaar is at First United Methodist Church in Holland, Michigan.  Last week my dear friend, Paula and I stood in line in the cold to get into the bazaar.  They have a room filled with beautiful crafts which sell out fast.  There is a cookie walk room where the cookies are fantastic.  The attic treasure room is one of the first places hit as shoppers rush for bargains and treasure.  A used book room is, of course, one of my favorite targets.  There is a large dining room where coffee/tea and coffeecakes are served as well as lunch and dinner.  The tables in the dining room were covered with red or green check tablecloths.  Each table had a fabulous centerpiece on it.  You had to buy them quickly as they were soon gone.  A large Christmas tree was in the center of the room covered with homemade angel ornaments.  The centerpieces were made by the daughter of the woman who first started making them years ago..

I love this owl.  I sat at this table sipping tea while I waited for Paula.  He was sold before we were done with our tea party.



Cute chipmunks.  Something a little different for Thanksgiving.



Birds were a favorite theme.



Lovely nativity.



 I purchased one like this.  It lights up with a battery pack so you don't have to run a cord to the table.  Cottages don't have many outlets.

The tree with homemade angels from around the world.

I loved this one but it was sold before I saw it.

Cardinal inside a lattern.  The picture is a little blurry but Dede and I like Cardinals.
