Change of Season

The antique dough bowl evolves into another season with a simple and easy change.

The poinsettias are gone along with the 

red candle.  More antler sheds and pinecones were added along with a large three-wick candle 

in the center, making it plain and simple for 

 long winter’s nap.

The week before Christmas I lucked into finding a red flannel plaid tablecloth, marked down 80%.  Then I had a 30% off coupon, plummeting  a $43 tablecloth to  $6.00.    What’s a girl to do?  I brought two.  The one on the dining room table has already had a daily workout with family meals.  (I have lots of company)  and works perfectly with the revamped 
dough bowl centerpiece.

The other will be cut down to use on a square breakfast table with enough left over for napkins or  another sewing project.

I also like the way the masculinity of the centerpiece  looks juxtaposed against the femininity  of the heavy throw with
 applique, embroidery and deep fringe.

For  yet another look, I used a reversible throw of velvet and chenille.   The possibilities are almost endless:  an antique grain sack, a vintage patchwork quilt, a burlap runner and more. 

One of these days when it’s empty and not just morphing into another look, I will show you pictures of her in all her nekked beauty.

Until next time, Honey
