I often host dinner parties at my home and there’s nothing better than serving dinner on a beautifully decorated table. When I have guests over, I like to use one of my fancy tablecloths and display a centerpiece of flowers. Unfortunately, since the economy has been so bad lately my husband lost his job.

Because of this, I have had to scale back my decorating tastes. No more fresh flowers every week. As a trade off, I have started using silk flowers. I simply set up my table like usually and replace the fresh flower centerpiece with a silk flower bouquet The silk flowers are just as pretty as the real ones and they last a heck of a lot longer.
