By adding ornamental pumpkins, wheat, preserved fall flowers and beaded pumpkins and guords, I was able to turn my antique soup tureen into a beautiful centerpiece for my buffet. The Fall themed plates were gathered here and there, and the ceramic pheasants were finds at a local pottery.
This unusual white "casper" guord is simply placed upon a metal urn, and surrounded with honeysuckle vine and silk flowers.
