Centre of attention

I needed a centre piece for my table and couldn't find anything I liked... 

so like all good bloggers, thought why

 not make one?


I used some old music sheets and rolled them....


then I put them in a hurricane vase and tied some burlap around the middle....

 added a gorgeous tag  purchased from

 the lovely Michelle at Paper Tree Studio




I placed it on an old silver tray with some mercury glass candle holders .....

added a few twigs and voila....


my centre of attention!!!!

I am linking this

Hope your having a lovely weekend

    I really love the rustic, vintagey look of your centerpiece ... the branches/twigs thrown in really finish it off.

    What a LOVELY centerpiece! I absolutely LOVE it! I have a group that gets together regularly for dinner parties and this could be adapted to any theme! I can't wait to use your idea and I REALLY mean that! You are very talented - thank you for sharing.

    Very pretty! You came up with such a great idea using so many appealing and popular elements, silver, sheet music, burlap, mercury glass, twigs and the glass.
