Set a Table with a Simple Centerpiece


People will often tell me that they can't set a pretty table because they don't have all of the dishes and accessories that I have. Admittedly, I do have a lot of dishes and accessories, but a table need not be set in a dramatic fashion in order to be attractive and appealing.


Today's table is a wonderful representation of modesty. It consists of attractive place settings, patterned placemats, and a centerpiece that is almost Zen-like in its simplicity. A simple dough bowl and two mangoes is all it took. It's lovely, it's serene, and it takes very little by way of supplies or effort. Rummage around in your cupboards and see what you can come up with, and let me know. You just might surprise yourself.
