Little Cranberries

D laughed when he saw this cranberry topiary in my cart.  But I think it looks nice with my Polish pottery bowl as a fall dining room centerpiece.  Perhaps it looks odd in the bowl, but since I have a collection of the same pattern roundabout it isn't quite so odd.  I don't think, anyway.  Well... it was $2.  Maybe I just need more stuff in the middle of the table, but during homeschool time, there are bunches of books and papers.  Hm.  Ok, maybe I am not sure what I am doing after all.  I thought it looked just fine a minute ago!  Now I'm thinking I need to find a brown bowl.  Then, when I get the brown bowl, I will likely swear I need something orange to go with the brown and red for fall.  Then... I will think it doesn't go with my Polish pottery, which is the central theme on this floor!  Ahhh... the decorating troubles a $2 fake cranberry topiary can cause. It's kind of looking too Fourth-of-Julyish now to my eyes.  I will probably have to buy $150 worth of stuff to surround it with so that I can achieve the perfect look.  (I'm kidding, D!!) 
Update:  Ok.  Going with first inclination and adding some family and candles so the plant doesn't look so lonely.  It's actually a deeper, more cranberry red in real life.

  2. I think it looks nice. And it's best to stick with your first inclination. Second guessing is a dizzy cycle.

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
