A Picket Fence Centerpiece and Thursday Favorite Things
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday dear friends. I finished most of my baking, except for the desserts for Christmas Dinner. I even had time to go down to visit my BFF. We had a great time, drank a little, ate too much, and laughed a lot.
I wanted to share my Christmas centerpiece where I used a picket fence.
I hope you are enjoying this blessed season.

Christmas Ideas on Happiness Is Homemade
Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Party
Welcome to the party! Christmas is coming fast. I had a nice week with my decorating done and hubby was out of town. I enjoyed the decorations and started to plan my Christmas menu. I also bought all of the ingredients I need to make cookies and candy. That I will start Sunday. it is supposed to rain, so it sounds like a good day to bake.
Now it is on to Christmas. Have you already started decorating for Christmas? I have chosen some Christmas decor and dessert ideas to get you in the mood.

Picket Fence and A Christmas Centerpiece
Picket Fence and A Christmas Centerpiece
As I was thinking of what to use for my dining room Christmas centerpiece, I wondered around the house. I bought this picket fence in PA a few months ago. I wondered how could I use it. I should have taken a picture of just the picket fence, but didn't.
It was so sunny today as I tried to get pictures. (I am not complaining about the sun - love it)
It's not everyday you attempt to put a picket fence on your dining room table. I have been known to use some strange pieces for trays. Last year I made a sled (You can see that here) For my autumn tray I used a pelt stretcher, so a picket fence should not be a surprise.
There are three pieces to the fence, each one is about 16 inches wide and each picket is 20 inches long. So I laid one section down and the others became the back. I folded the other two pieces to make an upside down "v" so it would stand up.
Here is the back panel. I love all of the colors and the "chippiness" (is that a word) of the pickets.
I placed a tree on the front panel and then found a large piece of white felt to use as the shirt around it.
On the one side, I added a rustic bell, a snowman and some trees.
On the other side, I added two glass tree ornaments. I didn't want to use them as ornaments, but they look cute as trees here.
I added fairy lights to the tree. Although with the sun shining in that window, it makes them blurry.
I love how it turned out, however, there is not much room on my table when we have Christmas dinner. I will have to move it to the kitchen table and put one of my other pieces on that table so we can place the food on it.
I hope you enjoyed my picket fence centerpiece.
