While shopping at
Medway Mill Antiques I came across this white iron planter and thought it would look great on my dining room table with a bottle of wine in the middle surrounded by small potted plants.
When I got it home I tried out my wine bottle idea but the wine bottle looked "lost" so instead I inserted a potted plant of ivy and liked that look much better. For the six surrounding holders I placed votive candles into small white washed terracotta napkin holders and there you have it.
To my delight, a few sprigs of the ivy were just long enough to wrap around the tall arch of the planter. Love the look.....reminds me of the types of planters I see on a few of the Swedish blogs that I follow..... Lilla Blanka being one of my favs.
I bought this at Home Goods the other day - it was in the kitchen section so I suppose it was intended to hold wooden spoons, wisks and such. My intention was to use it to hold pens and pencils on my desk but once I got it home I thought differently.
I still had more of those little terracotta pot napkin rings (see my prior post) and always have plenty of votive candles on hand....so why not? 
And the tags that I bought from Etsy and was wondering what to do with them (two posts ago).... well, I'm no longer wondering!! :)
