Vintage Pyrex Fall Centerpiece

A recent visit to the farmer’s market and my vintage autumn-themed Pyrex inspired this Fall Centerpiece for our dining table. We don’t have much in terms of shelving or cabinets in our home, so I don’t have my Pyrex displayed all year. I was so excited to finally show off these finds!

The two bentwood trays are from cb2. I ordered one when it went on sale a few years ago, then it arrived with some wrinkles in the veneer. I called them and they sent a new one right away and was told to just dispose of the defective one. Obviously I kept it!

I had meant to use just one tray for the centerpiece but I was so excited to display all these bowls (there are more actually, but we’ll keep it like this).

And I didn’t mean to use this much fruit, but my girls, who were excited to help (and remembered picking out the fruits at the farmer’s market), kept piling it on!

They also helped me with the cinnamon sticks. I tied them together with long fabric scraps.

I made the rick rack-trimmed napkins, and the blue crochet-trimmed ones are a thrifty find.

Love this little pumpkin with the curly stem.

It was so much fun to create this centerpiece. It didn’t take long at all, and I love using edible elements. I also loved getting my girls involved.

  10. This is such a creative way to use your Pyrex! I love what you and your girls have made. Great idea! Nicely put together, too; like the stacking of the mixing bowl on top of the server.
