Collection of Vintage Wedding Cake Toppers

In search of unique wedding shower decor, I came up with vintage cake toppers.  I love antique stores, so I began with my favorites and started the hunt.  My thought was, display them in my collection of bell jars and lanterns.  I adore each one I found!

This is what I created and I had a blast doing it.

Then I added another detail......mini battery lights.

I have a new love of vintage cake toppers.  Each one is unique and has it's own personality.  I will always be on the look out for them to add to my collection.  I know they will get lots of use in the future.

Easter Vignette

This wire bird house, filled for Easter, is the centerpiece on our kitchen island.  The pansy would look good all alone but we love creating vignettes.  When Easter has passed, replace it with a bird, bird nest, and some bird eggs.  Happy Easter and have fun creating.  

Dad's 80th Birthday Celebration

Music was the theme.  Table runners were made with music fabric.  We burned CD's with a young photo of Dad etched onto each CD along with the title "Faith, Family & Friends".  The songs chosen were some of Dad's favorites.  Included was a recording of our whole family singing on Christmas Eve.  The CD's were a take home gift for each couple as well as a place card for seating arrangements.  

One of Dad's favorite songs, Edelweiss, was used as a centerpiece to compliment the table runners.  Who knew you could order this plant online.  Each family took home a plant and planted it in their yard.  It's a wonderful memory every Spring when it begins to come up.  

Mini lanterns with battery candles were sprinkled around the tables.
