January 17 2013 Centerpiece

I thought I would continue showing some table decorations since I'm not getting outside with the camera.  This is on our dining room table.  Jill put it together.
Even thought I used flash, by setting the camera synch to Auto I preserved the window light instead of washing it out with flash.

My sister never imagined that her Christmas candle dinner table centerpiece would ever look like this.

"2013" Theme

"We will open the book.  Its pages are blank.  We are going to put words on them ourselves.  The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.  ~ Edith Lovejoy Pierce

For Judy (aka fotoeffects)..........

Last month, Judy (aka fotoeffects) suggested red, chartreuse, and hot pink accents for our December Christmas table setting. On the other hand, Karen (aka Kjakes1) suggested red and gold. Although I finally decided upon purple, lime green, silver, and black - colors suggested by fellow SmugMugger Nelli and one of my colleagues, I still created a table setting in Karen's suggested color scheme and felt up to the challenge of creating one in Judy's suggested color scheme, too.  I tried to create a different arrangement of the ornaments for each plate.
