Romance Redo

I wanted to get in another tablescape using my toile runner by Valentine's day, so it's now or never.

Here are some rearranged elements.  You've seen most of them before.  There's my thrift store bust and pedestal bowl.  The plate's been tucked into my closet, so it's seeing the light of day for the first time.

The small silver jewelry boxes are mine from my childhood, I still have some high-school treasures.  The top photo is a wrap around ring (do you remember those, often made with spoon handles?) and one from my aunt, I received for either my 18th birthday or graduation.

More high school memorabilia.  Did you have a charm bracelet?  There is a roller coaster car from Cedar Point, OH, and a Dumbo charm from Disney World.  At the far right is a charm with an enclosed mustard seed.  You know, from the verse:  He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matt. 17:20)  The ID bracelet, I believe is from 8th grade.

This is a moving cuckoo clock charm from Frankenmuth, MI.  I really like the worn texture of the silver boxes.

I wanted to include this photo, because it's the first ring my Darling Husband give me.  It's an aquamarine stone--no it's not my birthstone.  I got one of those later, that one's a diamond.

This tablescape was a quick change, we had some young company on Friday night, so our dining room table was covered with plastic tableclothes, paint, glue, glitter, etc. for a Valentine-making night.

For some reason, I like a container of loose candles.  Why do you think that is?

Ha, I just realized, the point of doing this was for my runner, and it hardly shows up in the photos at all!  Well, at least I got my tablescape done just in time to join Marty.
