A Christmas Candy Centerpiece

I can't believe Christmas is almost here. Where did the year go?

I'm going to start decorating this week, and one of my first creations will be this whimsical centerpiece I use on our breakfast table.

It's an arrangement of old glass jars I have collected through the years, filled with Christmas candies, cookies, and candy canes. It is very easy to assemble and is always a hit with little ones.

Hi Janie. :) Your table is so bright and pretty. Something tells me little Avery will like it.

I'm thinking of doing something similar...possibly including some pieces of silver I've gotten from an aunt. We'll see.

Have a great week.

I like that centerpiece so much, Janie. I love the various shapes of the jars combined with the colorful candies. Nothing says Christmas to me like a candy cane.

XO,

Sheila :-)
