Oh My! Another One!!!

It seems I have a thing for bringing home lost compotes these days.  I swear I wasn't on the lookout for one.  It seems they are on the lookout for me! 

 I spied this glass beauty and had to have it.  I do have to admit to a tiny bit of buyers remose however.  Once I had it home, I didn't have a clue how I'd use it.  Ever have that happen?

After staring at it for a couple of days, giving it the evil eye every time I happened to pass by . . . inspiration struck.  Okay, maybe not inspiration so much as a "this is ridiculous, I've got to do something with it" moment,  I decided to stick a candle in it. 

Encouraged that it fit and looked halfway respectable, off I went to dig around for something to spruce it up with.  I came up with a scrap of leftover drop cloth fabric which I cut to size. . . some white ribbon . . . and a charm from my daughters charm bracelet (shhh, don't tell her she hasn't noticed yet)



I layered the compote on top of a small oval dish.



And placed two keys I picked up at a recent flea market on the dish for added intrest.



I love this key,  I wonder what it opened way back when it as brand new?  I'm thinking maybe a trunk or luggage of some type.

Overall, I think this mini project turn out pretty fabulous considering I couldn't figure out where to start.



Enjoy your day,
