I love bringing the outdoors in...birds, nests, eggs, garden tools and other natural materials I've collected from here and there just make me happy. This weekend I gathered some of my favorite things from around my house to create a nature-inspired table for one.
The green transferware teapot was a gift from a friend..she brought it to me from a trip to Williamsburg. I love the bird pattern motif!
I made a simple burlap tablecloth. All I did was purchase several yards of burlap and threw it in the washing machine. It frayed all by itself and created this wonderful natural hem.
I found the green "runner" at a thrift store. It's actually a Waverly valance panel and I love the fern pattern. Old window coverings make great runners or tablecloths and are usually inexpensive at garage sales and thrift stores.
The bird is from Goodwill for $3.00 and it still has a Stein Mart price tag of $19.99 on the bottom. The little cloche with the robin's egg I made from odds and ends I found at a thrift store. The dome was $1.00 and the clear candleholder was .75 cents and they fit together perfectly!
This adorable old bee hive creamer was half-price at an antique store that was having a closing sale. Later that same day I found another honeypot on sale and thought they would look cute together.
The old vintage garden book was from a friend's mother's estate. I love garden books! The art on this old cover is very sweet.
I love my green cabbage plates and a nest is always welcome.
A little bird and garden stakes are welcome too!
My garden tea table was a treat for me on Mother's Day weekend! Take the time a set a beautiful table just for you!
