life cycle of a centerpiece

Sadly we have all learned this week that we are not saving the planet by switching to aluminum straws and filling the recycle bin… it will take a whole concerted effort on all our parts to move in the right direction. Not giving up hope — nor abandoning filling that bin — but definitely looking for ways to mobilize political action to combat climate change. In the meantime, we are using and reusing what we find at home, in the front yard, and within a short mile radius in order to limit purchasing goods that are created and transported at a huge human cost and worse carbon footprint. Herewith a centerpiece that went to a party, came home to chill with the fam, and will go on to serve yet one more purpose!

Boasting more lovely toasty tones and harvest grains than a bowl of granola, this sunny centerpiece looks great in copper. We upped the interest by clustering some intriguing fall flavored shapes at the base.

Natural wood tone toad stools and a printed paper Monarch— we think the whole package is the Autumnic bomb.

The next stage in the life of these material will play out as the natural elements dry to a preserved state to be used in the near future!

To be continued…right after we are done phone banking the entirety of Congress about Climate Change.
