This past weekend I made a quick trip to Northern Virginia. My three sisters and I had a little cake-and-champagne reception for my parents' Diamond Anniversary. We were joined by cousins and old friends, and I think a good time was had by all. I was in charge of table decorations. The theme was obvious: diamonds. I half-filled straight-sided clear glass vases of various sizes with clear diamond-esque vase-filler jewels, and tucked little LED lights down into the fill so there was plenty of sparkle. Around the base of the vases I arranged nosegays of daisies--mom's favorite--and glass "diamonds" of various sizes, also accented by white lights the size of a grain of rice. Very pretty, elegant, and easy. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to post later this week.
The concept will work well at C hristmas time, if I mix the vase-filler jewels with tiny ornaments, or pinecones, or greenery, or snowflakes. Perfect for a buffet table, or perhaps as an arrangement in my bay window.
