Real Simple Gourd Centerpiece

Jennifer from Hostess with the Mostest has a fun gig over at Real Simple. Yesterday she posted this beautiful Gourd Centerpiece:

And it is beautiful! I think part of the reason I fell in love with it is because I just scored 2 dozen of those cute little gourds for a PENNY each! You read that right! I am pretty sure they were supposed to be $1, but the sign said 1 cent. I checked with the produce manager and the cashier and they both said they were a penny, so I grabbed a ton! I bought a bunch of Indian corn as well. Three ears for...you guessed it...a PENNY!

If you want to make this cute centerpiece, but don't have a three tier server, Jennifer even solves that dilemma for you. Ikea has one for $14.99. I love Ikea almost as much as my 1 cent gourds.

Looks great. Haven't seen the Ikea piece yet....Life is so much better for us here since the Ikea went in a couple years ago. Off to Ikea again.

Great idea! I just went to Ikea on Monday. My friend bought the tiered trays for her daughter's jewelry.
We went for tea lights and bought soooo much more.

Awesome! I scored a dozen for 1 cent each, as well. I spray painted them and put them on the front porch. I'm so tempted to run out and by more. You can't beat the price!
