A New Centerpiece

Not really new.

But new to you.

 

I've had this on our dining table for quite some time now,

but I've been so busy with other projects

that I'm finally getting back to sharing photos

of my own home.

I picked up this fabulous old tool box awhile back,

and knew immediately that it belonged center-stage 

on our dining table.

And I promptly proceeded to fill it up

with all the elements and textures that

make me all giddy and happy inside...

 Of course, a few pieces of my expansive collection

of white enamelware made its way there.

And a couple of small-ish wasp nests are right at home,

having been rescued from one of our barns.

Delicate linen napkins,

and some sprigs of lavender wrapped in twine.

 a French grain sack pillow filled with lavender,

graced with a delicate starfish accent.

 and the lace....

 my, oh my, the vintage lace runner....

my favorite piece on the table.

I just can't get enough of vintage linens these days!

 Iron and wood...

a match made in Heaven!

This piece has patina

and character to spare!

 My dining table...

Now open for business

and serving friends, family and guests!

If you're in the area,

for goodness sake, give me a holla.

Let me give you the tour firsthand, 

first of my charming little town,

then ( provided the house is clean! )

our quaint little farmhouse.

Have a blessed week!
