Rated: Easy Arrangement
Its fall. The leaves have turned, the weather is changing. You are making hot chocolate with cream in the mornings, and this is a fall arrangement. It is an 'earthy' version of a cornucopia horn, or horn of plenty, and instead of a horn filled with fruit and vegetables, the base for this is going to be a piece of eucalyptus bark. (I hope you have accommodating neighbors and friends like I do, or you might have to go running around the trees in a park trying to find a piece of fallen bark.)
The fruit and vegetables are all miniature, except for the Hachiya persimmon. Where I live, the specialty grocery stores get the miniature fruit in around the holidays. I found some of these at Sprouts, some at Whole Foods and some at a local meat and produce store called Howie's. This centerpiece is long and perfect for a dinning room table or a high sofa table. So with a little bit of sheer fabric, your artistic bark, and some miniature fruit and vegetables you are ready to go.
