A January Centerpiece with Natural Elements

January 14

A January centerpiece is lovely to create especially after all the holiday magic is packed away until next December.  The New Year is the perfect time for a refresh in the home, with simplicity and calm…and a centerpiece that represents that feeling can take the stage on the table for everyone to enjoy!  Today I’d like to share a simple DIY that incorporates natural elements that nod to winter and spring.  This make the perfect January display until you’re ready for Valentines Day or all the pretty spring blooms to take over.  Dark, snowy days can be brightened with live houseplants that simply remind us that a new season is on the way!  But until it arrives, we can still enjoy the coziness of winter in a fresh way.

I took a blogging break this fall through the holidays and it was the perfect time to rediscover the direction of projects I’ll be sharing this year.  You’ll still see easy entertaining and decorating inspo but focused on reusing, recycling, and even foraging for simple beauties found in nature.  Treasure hunting is also a personal passion and I’ll incorporate those finds more in all my celebrations and home projects.  Recent trips to France have reinvigorated my enthusiasm for utilizing all my well loved, collected items that might become family heirlooms.  Not because they’re worth so much monetarily but because they’ve helped create treasured memories…in finding them AND using them!  Vintage pieces somehow make time feel like it slows even just for an evening. So these are the things I will hold dear in 2026 and look forward to sharing with you!  Now, let’s get back to the simple centerpiece made easy with elements of nature tucked in…

let nature shine!

DIY decorations are so much fun to create at any time of the year…but there’s something about Halloween that makes them extra fun!  I think that this holiday is so whimsical and lighthearted that even a novice DIY-er (like myself) can let their creativity shine with easy projects that have plenty of wiggle-room where perfection is concerned!  Recently my husband and I joined a supper club and I’m dying to host a small soiree this month…so holiday touches will be mandatory for my table!  Let me share some of the decorations I’ll be using…and I’ll show you how to make them too!

Feeling Thankful

I think it’s pretty typical in November to be mindful of all the things we’re thankful for.  The Thanksgiving holiday is a nice reminder of what we should be doing all the year…counting our blessings, even in those times when they can be seemingly absent.  The fact is, no matter the situation, there’s always something to be thankful for…a kind smile from a friend, family that stands behind you, the chance to enjoy another day!  And I’ve also been trying to see each annoying hiccup in life as a moment to search for a blessing in there somewhere…kind of like the cup half-full attitude.  So for me, November is the cue to remind myself not just to be thankful at our traditional feast, but ALL the year through…or at least give it my best shot!  And with this thought in the front of my mind, I geared one of my DIY projects to tie right in!  So today I’m going to share my November centerpiece designed for us all to share a thankful thought or two…

counting blessings big & small…
