I just put a long mirror down middle and placed little shiny trees, candle holders with ornaments in them, some little mirrors with bottle brush trees and snowflakes (guess this meets a flaky challenge, lol) I added tinsel to cover up bad spots on the mirror and used some of the 'bump' candle lites under the trees.

    That's a really nice look..I remember my mother once using a mirror with small shiney silver ornaments in the center...it all looked so beautiful, much like yours does.

    Wow look at it shine. Very pretty. I like the little lights. Where did you get them?

    I love your all silver theme. It's very pretty. It has a totally different look with the candles on in the dark and still very pretty.

    Twomonths, that looks really pretty. Love the way the mirror makes it all sparkle even more. Luvs

    Twomonths, I have been trying to get a mirror on the table too. That looks gorgeous - doubles all the sparkle. Now, I am even more motivated.

    Thanks for the compliments. I had fun.
    slinky, I am probably older than your mom so that is why we think alike. LOL.
    bright, I think I got them at the 99c store. They come in a colored (red, green, frosted) plastic 'candle holder'. They are the ones that you can blow out or bump on.
    The ones I got at $tree were 1 or 2 pks that have switch on bottom.

    It looks very pretty. Love the idea of a mirror. I am going to look into the candle holder thing that you are talking about.

    Oooooh, that is very pretty, I'll have to put a long mirror on my list for yard sales next year!!! So many new ideas this year, where in the world will I store all my new "wants" for next year??????

    I just sat this on my table to take a pic. I got this in honor of my DD in Iraq and then started laughin cause I guess she could be called a nutcracker. LOL.

    Oh, there is a green 'bumper" candle there on table also. I just found out that some of them change colors....cool.

    What a cool Nutcracker, and perfect this year!

    Great effect. Your grouping works so well together....that is just one thing that gives me fits. I can just imagine it in person.

    That's beautiful! I love the sparkle of the silver and crystal. I really like the nutcracker you added.

  • 17 years ago

    Very pretty! I love all the sparkle.

    Great centerpiece! For any out there who'd like to try something similar, a couple of years ago, I wanted to use a long mirror for our table centerpiece but found the long door mirrors to be too long and too wide for my table. Instead, I found three small mirrors (8x12"?) at Dollar Tree, sprayed their frames silver and used them end to end for a similar effect. Your pics have inspired me to pull them out and see if they might work on this year's table, Twomonths. Thanks!

    Lynn, that's a good idea for using mirrors. Easy to store as well. Luvs
