We went to The Uncommon Gift ~ such an inspirational shop in Camas, WA ~ where my little one’s eyes lit on some pretty candy centerpieces that Carrie, the owner, had created.

On our way to the grocery store, it was all he could talk about. He bounced around in glee while we picked out our supplies.

We picked brother up at school and while I put groceries away he proceeded to open each and every type of candy and spread them all around in piles! They then created to their hearts’ content and here is the result.


Voila! Lovely and sweet (literally) child-made centerpieces!

I’ve already threatened them about sneaking pieces throughout the holiday season – we are a pretty much candy-free home, so these were utterly delightful to make and sample!

Happy inspirational days to you! I MUST go vacuum now!

Love & Sincerely, Katie
