Ikea is a great source for all things centerpieces, no matter what the season. All this is, is a glass lantern for block candles filled with sand at the very bottom, then decorative stones, and at the very top – a pre-arranged potpourri assortment adding a nice pop of colour to the room (and subtle scent if you are into that). Underneath the lantern is a neutral table runner – lending some warmth to an otherwise bare table. This was not difficult to arrange by any means, nor was it expensive!! It’s summer fresh and despite the minimal effort, it shows appreciation for the changing seasons.
