Thursday

Show and Tell

Time for Kelli's Show and Tell, go here to see many more fun things!

I had planned to share my dining room table centerpiece today, but the battery on the camera died, and I didn't know how to change/charge it, etc. My husband wasn't here to do it for me.


I'm using this as the centerpiece on our dining room table now along with several other things. Yesterday I participated in Thursday Tablescapes and shared the breakfast nook bluebird tablescape. Scroll down to the next post to see all the bluebirds!

What would you call this "surround" above? I bought it in a tea room in Williamsburg, VA last year. They didn't know what to call it either, and wrote "crown" on the receipt! LOL! It is shaped like a crown, but it has a little birds nest on top. How and what would you use this to display? As the centerpiece on the dining room table I placed in on a cake plate with the large birds nest and two little bluebirds inside. I will post it tomorrow night, I won't be online until tomorrow night, my husband is having foot surgery tomorrow and I have to drive him home.


Have a happy day!
God Bless.

Katherine,
Crown was my first thought lol. I can't wait to see it over the nest, I bet it's beautiful. I took a stroll down to your tablescape post.. very beautiful. I fell in love with the napkins tied with the ribbon and the dainty lil bird, so precious.
Thanks for sharing.
Will keep your husband in my prayers for his surgery tomorrow.
Blessed Hugs,
Debbie

To me it looks like a wire angel. I guess I'm odd, but that was the first thought that came to my mind when I saw it.

Your bluebirds below are so wonderful.!!!

My Show and Tell is Posted. Come on over to visit if you can find time today. Happy Friday.

Your table looks great! Haven't seen one of those "crowns" before but it looks nice on your table.
What's up with hubby having foot surgery?? I hope all went well.
Still in CA and will blog in a wk or so.

Susie Homemaker said...

HMMMMM...I am going to go out on a limb and say crown...LOL! Maybe for over the bed with netting? I think it is great and your bluebirds are so darling!

Sara's Sweet Surprise said...

I'm playing catch up too. I always enjoy returning visits, it just takes me a bit to make the rounds. There's so many wonderful things to see.
Heather Ballard featured this crown on her blog and since she's the queen of design. I'm quoting her description...A wired nest.
I'd think it's more a wired crown cloche.
Whatever it's called it is so delicately charming.
Sweet wishes,
Sara
