What's in the centre of your dining table?

I agree Hannah. We ate off our laps for around 2 years, wasn't the best situation and I always ended up dropping my dinner on my clothes. I should've worn a bib really.

Then we got a table for £10 out of the local charity depot near us that was only supposed to do us for one Xmas dinner but we had that for over 2 years before I finally got a nice table.

Silver tea-light holder, flat in the shape of a branch with leaves. The tealights go where there would be flowers. I change the colours of the tea-lights depending on what colour table cloth and runner is on the table.

That sounds nice, and a bit different. Need a pic. Please?

Sorry dont have a pic. Marks and Spencers sold them before xmas. Have looked on their website but cant see it or would have posted a link.

I have a pile of folded washing in the centre of my table - but I gues thats not really the kind of look you're after :rotfl::rotfl:.

i have a orchid in a nice pot in middle... yet to find it a place in house. I normally have a round goldfish bowl style with a large candle and decorative teenie stones in the bowl.

I know I'm looking for something different, but that's just a step too far. :cool:

I want a contemporary or unusual something. I just dont know what. :rotfl:


Edit: What about this?




I'm kidding. :rotfl:

I like that it's humerous

We do have a candelabra on the table, just for fun though we're not snobs.
Eating beans on toast by candlelight is good.

I have 3 fruit bowls one actually contains fruit (past its best but fruit nonetheless) the other two are full of chocolate from selection boxes, a tin of quaility street, a sandbucket full of colouring pencils, Pig goes pop, crisp wrapper, a banana skin, yogurt pot and a 12 year old who seems never to hear me say get off the table. Apparently he can see his xbox better
