58th Table Top Tuesday


Welcome to the 58th Table Top Tuesday.  You guy are unreal.  I am always so inspired by your gorgeous vignettes.  Thanks for joining the party.


I showed you this little piece that I found at GW and how I aged it a bit in my last post.  I was so pleased to find that one of my cloches and a hurricane fit perfectly.  Now time to play.


I love how a little dark walnut stain works on metal to give it a little age.


I decided to use the hurrican with a candle and create a little different vignette on the small table in the LR.


What a great piece to give a really elegant look to a simple glass hurricane.


A small ribbon and a couple of my eggs were all that was needed.


Just a simple vignette and perfect for this small table.




Thanks so much for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits.

    Marty, that is just beautiful! I love your creativity. I would not have thought to use walnut stain on something metal. You're a genius! Your little side table looks wonderful and indeed you have such a welcoming and charming home! Thank you for hosting and have a lovely week.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Hi Marty! Thank you for hosting another beautiful Tabletop Tuesday. I love what you did with your Goodwill find--your hurricane looks so pretty on it!

    I linked a couple of simple spring tabletops, but for some reason my photo didn't show up. I'm not sure what I did wrong--sorry there's no photo with my link!
