A January Table

Hey my friends!

Wish you could join me…

I set a table, just for two :)

Perfect for enjoying a nice winter salad for lunch…

 I made a fancy little drink using sparkling grape juice, limes, and blackberries.

 My hope for January, is to post about different ways to use vintage items when decorating or entertaining.

So today, I used antique vegetable baskets as napkin holders.  The baskets give a nice rustic contrast.

 A vintage spoon to serve blackberries.

 You may have seen my antique ladder before…but here she provides a nice backdrop to display old bottles.

I also tied twine around the vintage bottles and added lavender; using them as bud vases on the ladder.

 Mr. Buckets built this table with old reclaimed lumber.  I use it as a coffee cart in our kitchen. However, it can serve many uses :)

I painted it with a gray stain on top, added a white wash, then sanded.  The bottom is all white and distressed.

 

 As a centerpiece, an old Ball jar holds the flowers, and limes line the inside.

 My craft for this tablescape was to stamp small pieces of driftwood with words “one” & “two”.  I attached them as labels to the glasses with twine.

 

 I don’t know about you, but when I buy a fresh bouquet of flowers…I get inspired to set a table :)  That’s all it takes. Flowers.

Thanks for visiting me today…
