{create this} rustic Spring wildflowers table

Our house has a fire place but no mantle.  Which is fine.  Sort of.  Unless you want to decorate and dazzle with a wonderfully gorgeous mantle full of seasonal goodness.  And can't.    

BUT ... I have just been asked to decorate the table in our church's foyer each season.  AND it is sort of mantle-like.  AND the perfect stage for the unbelievably awesome mantle ideas shared all over the blogosphere!!  I see a new Pinterest board in my future ;) 

Anyway, my mom and my good friend Darlene got together to decorate the table and got crafty!  So do you want to see what we came up with?

You can {create this} rustic Spring wildflowers table!!  

First off, the gorgeously vintage metal watering can and metal 'vases' were borrowed from my truly talented, magical, creative thrifter/designer/visionary/collector/friend, Susie!!  She blogs over at From My Home to Yours and her blog is full of all sorts of divine vintage goodness (and a sweet new puppy named Rebecca!).  You should see her design studio ... sigh.  Yesterday, I told her I want to be her when I grow up, ha ha!

And back to the table ... We layered a white table cloth and a burlap table runner and tied the runner at the sides with turquoise ribbons.  In the delightfully galvanized and weathered containers, we piled in wildflowers we found at Old Tyme Pottery and some white daisies ... simple and just so pretty for Spring!

Wanna make the the mason jar Spring 'flowers'?  I used cupcake papers, doilies, kraft paper punches and some simple white letters layered together - just like I did for my layered paper flower garland.  These would make a SUPER cute bunting for just about any occasion so I wouldn't be surprised if you see these again sometime!  We adhered each flower to a bamboo skewer, tied a ribbon around the skewer, stuck them in some mason jars and added a little moss.  We wrapped each jar in burlap and added a coordinating scalloped punch, too. 

Simple.Springy.Vintage.Lovely.

I am already planning for our summer and back to school tables, so don't be surprised when you start seeing me pin like mad :)
