winter table decoration
December 19, 2011
one glass bowl from a thrift shop
white or blue tack + candle
sand, I used bird’s sand from a pet store
white stones from the beach + found pinecones
I like the color combination, for a change, with no green or red. Natural whites and browns are so beautiful.
The only drawback is that to replace a candle I need to empty the bowl each time the candle burns down; I think I will use three instead, burning one at a time.

It’s perfect, Monika…and so restful at this often ‘senses-jarring’ time of year!
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2012!! XXO-
what a nice idea and yes… so soft and moody!
Happy holidays to you!!!!
How lovely it is! Could you find a metal bottle lid or similar to put your candle into? Then you might manage to replace the candle without needing to totally remake your arrangement? Maybe push a longish drawing pin through to the inside before affixing it to the bowl, to spike the candle? Don’t know if it would work but it might…
Sue, thank you, that is a good suggestion, especially the spike. I just need to prevent the sand to fill the space for the candle, it could “stand” on the spike/nail without the spike being seen. Will try.
Have a good week!
Monika
truly beautiful.
Lovely, You can also use a piece of floralfoam to add the candle in, covering the foam with sand
