Tablescape #2 - Cassie's Table!



We are back today as we continue our Tablescape Series! As we mentioned in our previous post, Cassie, Lynette and Andrea participated in the Carrington Auxiliary Tablescapes last weekend. See Lynette's table HERE.

***



Up next is Cassie's table, entitled:



"Garden Party - Vintage Style!"








Her centerpiece was this large, lovely cloche atop a base made from old wood-stove legs attached to a round piece of wood. Under the springtime bulbs is a fabulous round grate. Gorgeous, huh?




A close-up surrounding the base of the centerpiece are some garden rocks, sprinkler nozzle heads and plants, fun, fun!









A few vintage photographs were tucked in here and there...



Even the chairs were spruced up! Love the vintage garden tool!










The fern leaves under the stoneware plates were a gorgeous touch! The white and green were simply stunning together.


The lucky ticket holders at her table received a special gift of flower bulbs!

Up Next will be Andrea's Table!


We'll be hanging out with Donna over at SNS 81.....join us?

Attention junkers...I need your opinion!

Hope you all had a nice weekend! While in a thrift store Friday, I ran across this unusual cloche. Well, that's what I'll call it anyway. It is hallowed out on the top...not sure why; perhaps for a candle? Hmmm...no idea. Help me out, if you would, and give me your opinion on the different items I've come up with to glue on for a new top/handle...thanks! This was an old doorknob...
This was found in an alley behind a tire store. (Yeah, I picked it up).
This was a knob off something...
This is off the wheel of a child's wagon...it'll need to be bent into shape a bit if I use this...
This is from a towel bar...
I was also thinking I could use a glass Christmas ornament...or a colored one...see my dilema?! Please help!
