I stopped in the Salvation Army today to buy some men’s sports jackets to make into pillows (more on that later). I’m going for a Ralph Lauren look in our master bedroom this fall/winter.
While there, I happened to stumble upon this great cornucopia.
It was huge and only cost a buck ninety-nine. It is now mine.
I brought it home, vacuumed it, and aired it out for a few hours. Then it was time to create.
I removed the gourds from the wooden bowl on our formal dining table (here) and arranged them in the cornucopia which I have put on the kitchen table.
I also added a white pumpkin I was using in another part of our house. This will be our kitchen center piece till after Thanksgiving.
The natural colors in the gourds blend in nicely with the painting of Lulubelle.
Then I had to deal with the empty wooden bowl that was sitting on the dining room table. Lucky for me, I made a trip to the market this morning and bought a bag of beautiful, fresh oranges. I put them in the bowl, and now that area has a new look, too.
I think it needs some straw padding to look better.
But it gives that nice rustic/formal look that I like. And just think. I got two new looks for only $1.99.

Take care.
I think your cornucopia looks great on the table. Great buy for $1.99!

Great cornicopia–wonderful size and what a bargain! And, there are not too many decorations that can compete with fresh fruit!

Dear Jordan & Janette: I drove to Indianapolis yesterday to go w/ Margie to the Jr. League Holiday Mart — the wine slushy people were there!!!! I told them about your feature on this Delicious cocktail!, I am ordering some for Holiday treats & gifts. Thanks again you are on the cutting edge.

I found the artist on etsy. Her name is Roz Art.
What wonderful buys! I love big bowls of fruit! It seems like such luxury to have lots of fresh fruit…and it smells nice! ♥
Oh my goodness!! You did luck out. I absolutely love cornucopias! Your great find looks wonderful and what a deal you got on it. I’ve got to get out at least one of my 3 and enjoy it. Thanks for sharing. Helen

It’s it just wonderful to find surprises like that! I had a cornucopia, but can’t seem to find it, may have to check the Thrift store 🙂 I love both of your centerpieces.
Thanks for sharing
