Desert Delight

We're experiencing such a heatwave on the East Coast that I feel like we just might be living in the desert!  I'm not complaining as I love summer.  However, the desert-like condition does explain why this original cactus centerpiece caught my eye:

So colorful, striking & different!  The cactus are very cool but the colorful tins really make this centerpiece.  Add the papel picado & a good margarita to achieve perfection!

Bonus: if you're looking for an easy, budget-friendly centerpiece, you've found it!  For a different look, you could collect vintage tins or for a varied look, collect tins of different colors & sizes.  Get creative! 

Now excuse me as I daydream sipping a cocktail on the shores of Cabo San Lucas . . .
