Feeling a Little Springy???

Hi Bloggerettes!  I don't know about you but everytime I look at a Pottery Barn catalog I want everything in it!!! 
So, I thought I would just try and copy a table vingette.  Here's my version.




I picked up a few of the clay pots and the wire basket at Lowe's Home Improvement Store, added a lemon herb and ivy plant.
I had the bird nests already. 

After looking at the photos I decided to add some spanish moss, and some more birds, a bird tray and another stick basket with
peeps.......




I had to show off the burlap and ruffled table cover that I made. It's for sale in my etsy shop. 


Might not be as put together as a PB table, but I kinda like it and it makes me think of Spring.

~~hugs~~

People Who Know Me Would Say: said...

I enjoy PB catalogs too! In the one that came yesterday, there was a GIANT abacus that was singing my name.....I can't get it out of my head..it's a good thing I don't have a spot for it.

Your vignettes are charming and well put together. Is there anything you can't do? Were you born this way or do you attribute it to Grandma's attic? If someone sits next to you, does your cleverness rub off? Maybe? Just a wee bit? Oy.
