Simple Table Centerpiece - sea shells, cones and ...

     Last week, while sorting out some clutter, I got this wooden tray which has been with me for a very long time, guess right from my college days. I also had a few sea-shells, palm inflorescence and some casuarina cones, which I had collected during my latest trip ; Well, the  no-cost arrangement was over in a few minutes - After all there was nothing much to do...!!  This table arrangement has been there around throughout this week - it just looked simple and beautiful , So I might have it, until the red berry-like  inflorescence withers away from its branches ...;-) I wanted to spray paint the tray white or in a shade of blue and the starfish white, but I guess they will remain the same as of now... !!

     The  last picture in this post is for you all.. ... You guyz are the best ... Thanks for the support  always ...!!
