Do you recognize these pumpkins and bittersweet? They were the centerpiece on Tuesday's tablescape. I had borrowed them from this tray on the butler's pantry and now they are back.
I needed some sparkle, though, so I tried a trick I had read about. This morning I picked up a few leaves from the yard. Any type will work. I happened to use a magnolia and two maples. You just give them a quick spray with any metallic paint and you're finished!
See how the paint actually enhances the veins and curls in the previously dried-up leaf? I love that! The paint dries quickly and they are, obviously, brittle so you have to handle them carefully.
It's a fast way to add a little pizazz to one of your vignettes or even a special centerpiece, such as Thanksgiving.
I hope your day has some pizazz!
