Winter Centerpiece 

I always feel a little sad when it is time to take down Christmas decorations. The house always seems so bare. I am not ready to decorate for Valentine's Day. Instead, a winter centerpiece on the table will have to do.

I used this scale during Christmas on my table and thought it would work nice for my winter setting as well.

I had found these clumps of greenery at a store in PA when I was there. I bought several and used them over Christmas. 

This bell was from my Mom. When she went to school, it was a one room school house. The kids took turns ringing the bell for school to start. She remembers ringing it. She bought it when they sold the school house and gave it to me. My Mom will be 99 this year. Although the paint is worn, it still has a beautiful sound. 

I usually have this crocheted table cloth on my dining room table. I made it many years ago and it was a labor of love. It has a few worn spots and a couple of places that need the yarn fixed  but I can't part with it. 

I love the whimsy of the pine cone stems. The tops almost seem to have snow/frost on them. perfect for winter.
