Etceteras: berries and cream

I’m very behind on fall and Thanksgiving decorating this year. I’m hosting Thanksgiving tomorrow and needed some additional fall décor to spruce up the eating area.


Blog Winter Berries
I used the above beautiful images from BHG for my inspiration and got to work.


My original plan was to use twigs and some faux floral berries that I had bought. Then I remembered the piles of berries in the backyard that our ficus tree has been dropping. 


I scooped up a jarful and started gluing them to the twigs I collected from our front yard. 


I arranged the faux berry twigs in this milk bottle I recently found at the thrift store. 


The colors of these berries that we usually consider a mess and nuisance are beautiful.


This time of year, fall foliage is everywhere and it’s just a matter of putting the pieces together to make a pretty arrangement.


Dead twigs, fallen berries and a thrift store milk jar have become a pretty berries and cream arrangement.

  1. Great idea to glue the berries. What kind of glue did you use?

  2. Thanks so much! I used hot glue. Just a tiny little drop on each berry.
