Autumn has Fallen

and it's time for a new centerpiece.

My mom made this lovely green velvet table runner for me for my birthday. It's the kind of color that makes me want to paint the walls. I immediately matched it to our green tea light holders and when DG brought home these colorful gourds from the grocery store, I turned into Martha Stewart's less talented step sister and created a display on top of a cake platter that we got as a wedding gift.

Now the real question is, will I have the energy to decorate for Christmas when the time comes?
