I decided to have a poinsettia as my bouquet this week because the red and white geraniums from last week are still going strong so I didn't want to buy more cut flowers. Instead I used the poinsettia that I was given last week at the party to make a table arrangement.
I chose this burgandy plaid blanket as a table covering to compliment the greens and creams of the poinsettia and the gold of the pot. The plaid blanket is a thrift store find that I find interesting because it was a blanket used on Air Canada in its former life.
Then to complete the tablescape I used some bead stars that I made last year at my Christmas craft party (which you can read about here). I love the sparkle of the silver along with the complimentary pinky-reds and brown beads.
Do you get a poinsettia every year? I sometimes do and sometimes don't - because truth to tell I can't stand a poinsettia after Christmas and want them out of the house. Maybe I won't feel that way about a cream one, but for me the red ones are stale-dated come New Year's.

Very pretty and love the plaid! I prefer the white poinsettias too. My great niece often sells them as a hockey fundraiser so we usually have one or two. I'm with you on the gone by New Years because I often forget to water them.
ReplyDeleteI love white poinsettias! I've gotten sick of the red ones. But this year, I decided not to get one as I have a kitten and this will be her first Christmas. She's a bit of an imp so I'm afraid she will eat it. She's already spit out a mouthful of Christmas tree. This year, I'll have to enjoy seeing yours. J
ReplyDeleteI saw poinsettias at my grocery before Thanksgiving but wasn't in the right frame of mind to buy one! I always pick one up at some point. I love them!
ReplyDelete*giggles* That's the color poinsettia that we chose this year! Great minds think alike!
ReplyDeleteI always get paper whites to help celebrate the season but this has me thinking about adding some poinsettias into the mix
