White Wednesday....

Took me a bit but after an extensive search through my photo archives and a little photo editing by way of my new favorite toy... **Picnik**.... I came up with this little cutie to share in Faded Charm's White Wednesday ritual.

This little stool has hosted a number of items perched upon its sturdy top. She's a fav of mine and the more I move it around from room to room, the more paint chips fall off and the more I love her! This photo is from a time when it briefly nested in my dining room. Right now it's on my hearth as part of my Christmas decor (pictures to be shared soon).

White iron in the rough...

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.
