A few posts ago, I said I would show
you how my teacart looked for Winter*
this dried leaf was the inspiration
I picked it up off the ground at my daughter’s house ..have not got a clue what it is,but it looks like a rusty butterfly.
so you're thinking... "she is too far gone" or "she lost her marbles" or maybe
"she's a taco short of a combo plate"?
Hold on there jest a cotton pickin’ minute-
Not so fast!
What do you think NOW?
kinda gives a new meaning to the phrase 'dying art' would'nt you say?
I started with a round Battenburg white table topper cloth,
then began adding pretties that echoed
the dried hues in the roses
and mystery “butterfly” leaves
like the red transferware plate
and floral dessert bowls
I really love the soft antique look
that the dried roses have…
the trio of bottles were a Junk store find
roses and petals in a trifle dish
& hydrangea in a silver basket
I don’t have a mantle to decorate,
so the teacart in my dining room gets the
seasonal revolving door treatment!
The white soup tureen was a yard sale find and
believe it or not I have gotten a LOT of use out of it!
It is pretty much a favorite item for all my Teacart settings....
this bowl would’ve worked too, but it was
already kinda crowded on the ol’ teacart
So what do ya think?
inspiration can come from almost anything
….so start getting inspired!
By the way... the movie "Dead of Winter" is pretty good, intense, scary...
only a tiny bit of violence I think
so watch it if you dare!
