Poinsettia Tablescape

Pat wanted to share (more like "show off") her fabulous $2.00 centerpiece that she found at Michael's last year - so she created this week's table using the pre-made arrangement as the inspiration. It was originally priced at a whopping $129.99.

In all honesty, we walked into the store after Christmas, and all of the left-over Christmas stuff was really, really on sale. Pat and I grabbed a cart and loaded it up. What fun!!!! By the time we finished, we managed to take home three carts full of "Christmas treasures".....

The inspiration - the arrangement covered most of the table.....and for only $2.00

I love this china - it's "Racine" (1900-1986) by Hutschenreuther.
