Something Special Saturday

                   sprouts xmas 004  '

I’ve been a bit sick this week but today (after some caffeinated coffee) I got a bit of energy and starting messing around with table decorations. 

I found this sweet metal frame at the thrift for a total of 50 cents!  It’s about 5x6.

I picked up some old tinware at a thrift, used a little live greenery, some pinecones, added a candle….instant centerpiece.  I love how simple and easy it was…don’t you love the pattern on that loaf pan?  Now that is vintage!

    Sorry you've been under the weather, but how cool to see you create regardless! LOVE your cake pan vignette. :) Here's to cake pans selling out all over the land to Christmas centrepieces! :)

    Adds a certain charm, doesn't it?

    This is just so pretty Karen. Love the contrast between the greenery and the silver pans. Your yardstick tray is the perfect resting place.

    Glad you're better! I like the old fashioned ornament and the pine cones with the greenery. Simple, but beautiful to me!
