What's in the centre of your dining table?

Today: play dough factory set

Don't have anything permanent on the table. Used to have a nice crystal vase in the middle, but got a little worried seeing the way the boys chucked it about when they were setting and clearing the table, so I put it back in the display cabinet.

You've inspired me to go and clear it all up this afternoon and contemplate what to put in the middle.

Lol...not sure I believe you. Will it be something pink?

i used to have a big fruit bowl, but i now keep that on the dresser in the kitchen. so now i just have table runner down the center which i made. our table is so big that it needs something like the runner the break up the surface.

i do keep a nice candelbra on the sideboard so romantic meals with hubby we can have candle decorations on the table.

I used to have a large, wide, flat china fruitbowl in the middle of mine but it was regularly filled with 'stuff' so when it broke I didn't replace it, thinking my dining table would look neater.

Today it has on it:

My work make-up bag
Some file dividers.
Some E-45 cream.
A jolly phonics workbook.
2 jigsaws and a plug adaptor.
An empty mug.

A large terracotta bowl, with pot pourri and a scented glass candle in the middle. (all the same colour) OCD, me?

Of no help whatsoever here, a table runner and two bowls of fruit. :rotfl:
