I found this in my stash while doing a little cleaning. I don't remember where I got it, but I must have seen the potential in it. I repainted the worn areas and yanked out the pitiful flowers that were in it-a job that took forever since they were stuck in something that looked like spray foam insulation.
After all the gook was out-looking better.
Now this is much better, thought I am not sure if I will leave this arrangement in it. I have one of my favorite blue and white platters on the table and one of my many crosses and of course a piece of McCarty pottery. I am joining Susan for Met Monday at
