Time For Changes

Today was a day of mixing work and pleasure.  As there was a need for cleaning today I also had a fun project I wanted to accomplish.  I wanted to  change out the display in the middle of the big coffee table in the front room.  It's quite a large table so it always requires a rather large type of display.

 I had already decided to use the large crystal pedestal jardiniere.  I could see in my mind 

grapes or something that would fall out of the top.  I went looking on Saturday around town at Ross, Goodwill and Marshall's for grapes.  There were no grapes but I did find these great globes of different textures that I liked.

 So they came home with me and now 

to find the rest of the items I could see in my 

mind for the display.  I remembered I had a bag of peat moss from previous projects.  That would 

make a good base to build on.  

After the globes were put

in I started looking around the house to see

what else would work.  

I spotted this and this........

.....and this flower and greenery together

in a vase.  Now that was starting to look like

what I wanted.  

It still needed more.  

So off to hunt the house for more.

The ivy was found in my sitting room

as part of another arrangement.  

So it left the one display and was

added to this one.  Okay looking

good but still not done.  I had these

black stones in a bag in the pantry

so they went round the bottom

for some contrast.

 The stones looked like

they should have an addition.

So off to look for a little something

I remembered I had.

I found him sitting rather lonely looking

in another room.

Now this little bird is helping

to add a little something cute

to this display.

While I was looking for the bird I

found this butterfly!

Okay.......I think that will do it.  

It came together pretty well

I believe.

The doily is one from my

large collection of vintage

pieces.  I like having lots of

them to choose from.

It's really quite fun to look around the house

in rooms and cupboards to see

what you can find to make something

come together.  With just

buying the textured globes I was

able to find enough things I already

had to complete the job.

Thanks for visiting with me today.  

I hope you enjoyed my fun

project that helped to make 

the house cleaning a little more fun!!
