Living Beauty Full in the Burbs
Living Beauty Full in the Burbs
My spring table is giving me fits. I started out so simple. It was fine. I liked it. Mr B liked it. Then I found sheep. Simple went out the window. Replaced by something…..not simple. I decided to try different looks, using what I had, as in, using some of my collections that I thought might look good with those stinkin cute sheep. They don’t really stink, in fact, they don’t have any odor at all, but they are cute. Let’s recap. Version 1 was the simple one. Version 2 involved milk glass and pressed glass and plants and the afore mentioned sheep. In case you enjoy visual reminders, Versions 1 and 2 for your viewing pleasure:
Version number 2, with the milk glass vases didn’t set my heart on fire. I didn’t love it. I didn’t even really like it to be honest. Mr B walked through and said; “Wow, that’s cluttered.” Um, yeah, so that meant I was gonna be changing that table pronto. I don’t always take Mr B’s opinions to heart. Most of the time, I just ignore him. (That’s not true. I pay attention to his opinions all the time. Really.) But the man had a point. And he’d just echoed what I knew in my heart…..I didn’t like this version, even with the stinkin cute sheep. So I tried again.
For version number 3 I brought out my favorite vintage glass bottles. I love those bottles. And if you didn’t read Version 2’s post which told you about my attachment to those bottles…um, why didn’t you? In short, the bottles all bear a connection to ancestors or places I’ve lived except one, I bought that one just cause I liked it. There’s a quiz following this post to see if you can answer which one is not connected by family or location. The correct answer will win a great prize. Just kidding. No quiz. Ergo, no great prize. But for fun, leave a comment if you know which bottle is NOT connected to me in any way.
Sooo, Version 3 of My Spring Table for your enjoyment. Try to contain your squeals of wonder and amazement. It’s that good. Linda Mains, I’m talking to you.
So there you have it, Version number 3 in the seemingly never ending attempt to come up with the perfect spring centerpiece. There may be more. I make no apology. There is trial and error in my quest for perfection.
Create the home you see in your heart. You deserve a sanctuary no matter where you live. Create one.
