Here's the Dirt...My "Chili Dinner Party" Tablescape!

"Chili Dinner Party" Tablescape

Here's an easy & simple way to create a fun winter party tablescape...

I used an assortment of clear and amber bottles filled with water,

I added votives, mixed them all together

and ran them down the center of the table.

For my serving pieces and place settings

I used pieces in browns and naturals to add to my color scheme...

The chili was served in a mixture of mugs and bowls.

It looked great and my guests loved it!

Here's the Dirt..."Mood Moss Wreath"

"Mood Moss Wreath"

I love the plush texture of mood moss.

Here we attached the moss to a basic wreath form

with green wire...add a simple ribbon...

great for the holidays!

Here's the Dirt..."Our Holiday Ladies"

"Our Holiday Ladies"

We created these "holiday ladies" for

a new boutique's Holiday Open House in Chattanooga, TN.

We used chicken wire for the base,

cedar for the skirts and

burlap for the blouses...

accessorized with ribbons...

and a carnival ticket brooch.

Can't wait to see them in her holiday windows!
