Quirky Tablescape

Thought I'd share a simple tablescape I threw together a couple of weekends ago on short notice. Earlier this spring I received some cool vintage hair clips and curler rods and decided to incorporate them in the place settings....yep, this post is entitled "Quirky Tablescape", after all!

Love 'em!

(I'm actually thinking these would also be cool on a Christmas tree holding some vintage photo's or ornaments!)  For now, they will be wine charms!

 The clips were used to hold the napkins

I used some old file drawer dividers as "chargers" for a little industrial feel.

Love the white, burlap and tarnished silver together...

 I used a photo of each guest at their place setting.  Since my guests were all relatives, it worked well since I had  photo's of everyone.

They weren't surprised by my junky, quirky table!

Linking up today to Faded Charm - a great blog!

Show 'N Tell

Yes, as Andrea mentioned in the previous post...garage sale season is among us! You got some great stuff Andrea.....here's a peek at mine:

I seem to gravitate toward the same things every time I'm out.....white ironstone, vintage frames, and wonderfully tarnished silver! But that's okay, there'll be plenty to go around at JunkFest '09!

Oh yeah, and chairs! Love those chairs....especially those begging for a little attention and TLC! This one is oak and in great shape, minus the caning.

This last find actually came from a great little shop in Lingle, Wyoming.....I was passing through recently on my way to Denver and spotted a teeny tiny little sign that said "flea market." Well, you can understand to need to stop and check that out, can't you?! I spotted this vintage dress form and promptly made room for her in the car! I've never seen one made of heavy paper, but this one was assembled and resting on the adjustable wire stand it came with. My family thinks she looks a little "Madonna-esque!"
Aside from the dress form that I had to go all the way to Wyoming for, I did pretty well for only stopping at 2 sales!!
