Pears- Used as-is, they are a perfect fall décor detail that’s also edible later.
Dumpling Squash- Another wonderful item to use as-is which ties in the scheme of the season.
Large Artichokes- Candlestick holders. Yes that’s right! Cut off across where the stem joins the flower to make a flat base. On opposite end, drill hole big enough for your candle to fit snugly. Don’t want to drill? If candle is a traditional taper, insert a paring knife into flower and twist. sMARt Tip: Do ahead of time and keep fresh in fridge; use more than once by refrigerating between uses, too.

Bag of Walnuts- Another staple item that can easily be incorporated into a wonderful table or buffet design. Can be used as-is scattered on table. Can also be used to create napkin rings by drilling small holes to run wire through. sMARt Tip: Drill side-to-side, avoiding the nut’s natural seams.
FLORIST:
A package of autumn leaves- When Mother Nature does not offer you a selection, your local Stop & Shop does. Nothing represents autumn more than powerful colors and textures of Mother Earth. By laying across and intertwining the leaves into your center focal point not only will you build some height and interest but you’re pulling the colors of the season right to your table.
