vintage inspiration for fall...

You know when you pin something that inspires you...



And you want one, or something like it for yourself?

Well, thanks to a wonderful neighbor and some of my dried hydrangeas, I put this centerpiece together for my kitchen table...



I love the old tree branch handle...


And I love the old, rusty hardware...


Again, here is my inspiration...

And here is my fall version...


I can always whiten lighten it up in the spring!

Sharing with Debra for Vintage Inspiration Friday!

    Sandi, I love your dried hydrangeas. They are pretty that way too. I've got to make myself one of those old tool totes. Smiles, Susie

    Dried hydrangeas in these hues are my favorite! I have to buy them and have them shipped to me here in Texas. I wish I could grow them!
    They look gorgeous on your table.
