Oh What Tuesday Brings

Tablescape Tuesday

little greenery, and candles (.15cent candle holder :) )

vintage 1950's cocktail rooster napkins...
lovely aren't they?

family monogrammed silver spoons and china...


a little fluff of decorations...



place atop a hand painted cozy tray...
and a special spot for
two has been created!


pure simplicity...
if cloches are for special things...then why not my guests?


white china...
the staple...
adding silver gold white and greens.


Trash to Treasure Tuesday

not silver...but it has an allure



can't beat the price....but it is in terrible shape...
get the price down to 1.00...
and prepare my paint brushes...
i am feeling weathered white, with bits of cream...
some hidden copper and reds...
i wa
nt history...
i want a story of time...



swirls and swirls of color...
allowing the pattern to show through...
layer upon layer...
creating decades of time...
years of use...
the new lo
ok comes to light....
i am pleased....
and now it finds a new home....


topping off an old vintage heater...
making an excellent side table
for a room which is undergoi
ng some wonderful design changes!

Tablescape Tuesday and Trash To Treasure Tuesday!

What a joy t
his season has been :)
The Muse and her D
iva's Hammer will return "after" Christmas !

Such elegance at a bargain price...You are a true Diva of
Design! Don,t you love how paint can add character to something someone was ready to practically give away! Great job Muse!

Yes it is true you are just very clever. You are a designer who has vision. Love it. I enjoy seeing what you will post next.

I really liked the china as well.

Happy Holidays to you.

Very beautiful table settings. What a genius use of your one dollar treasure.

Oh, I am so in love with your style of decorating..so free, so flowing, so much character.
Your tablescapes are luscious...
Merry Christmas, bj

I just love the idea of cloches at each place setting...marvelous!

Tuesday, December 23, 2008 7:22:00 AM EST

Beautiful tablescapes! And your vintage heater turned side table is so creative :-)
Thank you for your visit to my blog and your kind comment :-)

Tuesday, December 23, 2008 8:05:00 AM EST

Hmmm not sure where I'd like to sit...for tea at the fireplace...or the lovely dinning table for a glorious meal...or in the comfy chair with a cup of cocoa to sit on your trash to treasure table.
I think I'll do all 3!
Wonderful creativity as always!

BTW..knock knock....that's me at the door! ;)

Tuesday, December 23, 2008 8:07:00 AM EST

Very creative, Muse! Very! I want your cloches (they are so neat... love the individual ones over the plates). And a great price on your tray! I love to see what you're up to! And the magpie eye landed on that mono-ed silver and accompanying china. Very shiny objects, those. ;-)

XO,

Sheila

Tuesday, December 23, 2008 8:53:00 AM EST

Oh I just love it love it love it! You know, I have about 100 of those mini cloches. I usually use them for cheeses at wine tastings - but that's such a great idea over a coffee mug, or low bowl! You're just inspiring me to new levels Muse! Thank you, and congrats on your beautiful table setting, and amazing trash to treasure find!

Is the fruit rolled in cinnamon?

I sometimes use the cloche over an apple or a pear, at each placesetting.

Love that heater/side table...too clever!
