Since I don't have a formal dining room I adapted the centerpiece for my table.  Here is my take on the beautiful center piece my mom made for a small round kitchen table.  I used my cornucopia and placed it on a cake stand.  The three figurines came from a collection I have and then I added the garland for a fuller look.  Unfortunately I had to leave out candlesticks so I could still fit plates on my table.  As you can see this centerpiece can be perfect for a dining room table, kitchen table or even a buffet!
