Doesn’t have to be expensive, and you can probably put together any number of things that you already have in your home – just use more neutral or “autumn” types of colors; amber sea glass, white shells, vanilla votives – here’s a few ideas to get started!

My friend Cami’s creation! Found sea glass and pretty autumn scented pillars

And finally a peak at our fall centerpiece for this year!

I love this big flat bamboo bowl that I found several years ago, it’s my treasure “collector” when we walk in the door from the beach. Shells, driftwood, sea glass, stones, even a few acorns that we picked up in Napa. Then I added to our collection with pear-scented dark green candles, dried Autumn gourds and my saved orange tumbled glass from last year.

I am a big believer in making decorating at the beach easy – and always a reflection of who you are. Creating an easy centerpiece with found “found” seaside objects is just one more way to accomplish that.

I’ve done similar things with shells and candles. Great ideas. Unfortunately now that I have Mr. Honeybun, candles can be tricky with him around! ;)
