Welcome to Picadilly & Company

It's a great venue for a Girls Night Out, family get together, etc. However, before we can create them in your home, I create them for my home.

Currently I am preparing for our holiday homes tour. I will begin decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. In the meantime I am creating different projects to decorate with. So, the ideas I am sharing do not show the final stage often due to that. In December I will post pictures of the final outcome. Thanks for stopping by. And please, check out the website above!

Polka Dot Candle Holders

This sweet little candle holder is easy to do and will fit into any little nook. Or it is a great simple gift. Supplies needed: Glass candle holder, simple vase or drinking glass. Double stick paper (see below) Glitter Large circle punch The glass holder is from Dollar Tree, for, yep $1. I punch circles out of this double stick 'paper' and applied them to the glass holder.

When all of your adhesive dots are in position, simply sprinkle with glitter. To clean, spray a glass cleaner onto a papertowel and hand clean.

Holiday Center Piece

This year's holiday centerpiece was inspired by a few similar ideas I have found on Pinterest. I went to the Dollar Tree and put three items together: A vase, a candle holder and a fluted candle holder. (Yes, so each centerpiece came to $3.00!) Using E6000 all pieces were glued together, with this water resistant glue. You should wait about 48 hours before you put water in the vase.

Add a finishing touch by putting a cranberries in the vase. Fill the vase with water, up to the top of the fluted candle holder inside. Light a tealight, and enjoy. I have three of these that I plan to run down the center of my table. I love the pewter plates (that I got for $1.79 each!). I think they add a bit of an old world touch. If you don't want to add cranberries, fill the vase with wooden beads, nuts, small pine cones, cinnamon sticks, or boxwood sprigs in water.
