After the holidays, I realized that the dining room table at Love and Life at Leadora was looking a little bare. Luckily, Michael's is having a 50% sale on all their basic greenery. I was so excited when I found these cute ivy topiaries.
My mom, from la vie quotidienne, also alerted me about the artificial apples. Don't these apples look real? They weren't on sale, so I used a 40% off coupon.
I put the apples in a wooden box that I found at Home Goods. Then, I added a lace edged napkin and a glass of old silver spoons that my mother-in-law gave to me. This tablescape really peps up my table. Enjoy!

Very pretty! Ours looks really bare right now too. My husband even commented on it. Those apples DO look real. I thought they were until I read your post.
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice...I am a topiary lover and these are very cute. the box is a find, I think you will have lots of uses for it and you already know how I feel about lace.(-: Great job

ReplyDeleteYour new look for the table is beautiful. I love the topiary and wood box holding some pretty items. I can't get over how real the apples look! I would have been convinced they were real if you hadn't mentioned them!

Hi Heather! I just had to pop over when I read your sweet comment on my blog! Your tablescape is just beautiful and I was just at Michael's yesterday and must have missed those darling topiaries. Otherwise I would have snatched them right up too! I'm looking forward to going through your past posts and getting to know you a little bit better here in blogland! :-)

Very nice! Green apples are always so fresh looking! Great way to start the new year.
ReplyDeleteLove the little bit of lace peeking out of the wooden box, as well.
I just come from Adrienne 's blog! I love your table runner and i just remember i have these topiaries somewhere...The box is nice too and useful in decoration.
ReplyDeleteCharming! HG and M's are two of my favorite stores. Love the quilted runner, it pulls everything together.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather - nice to meet you! Your photos are amazing as well. A digital SLR really makes a huge difference. For the longest time I was just using a P&S and it doesn't compare. Love your topiary finds.
