Hello everyone!
One day, after moving some things around the house and "robbing" one room to fill another, I was left with an empty galvanized container. I still wanted to use it though. It once had a plant in it, and rather than finding another one to fill it, I decided to do something a little crazy.
I filled it with dry beans and stuck some silverware in it. It now looks like a silverware bouquet. These were silver plated serving pieces that were stored in the dining room.
Crazy right? I thought it would fit in nicely with all of my other dishes on display.
So simple. I used what I already had on hand and I like the added texture that the beans give it.
So, that is why I call it my quirky silverware bouquet. I wonder if this will start a trend. Hmmm.........
Have you ever done anything crazy like this before?
Thanks for stopping by!

That's a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your comment on our thoughts on moving from Pondside! I am still working full time, so it's definitely not old age, but time - or lack of it! Since my husband's illness there is just too much for me to manage while I work.
You are a wild and quirky girl!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteI don't think that is quirky at all... I think it is plain genius...LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteHow funny! Your creation is on the quirky side, but quirky cute!
ReplyDeleteI have just become a friend and follower!

ReplyDeleteI think it's a cute idea, Kelly! Now, your family may look at you funny, but you can just explain that it's the new current trend. : )

Oh I am sure I have had some crazy ideas in my time...but I don't think this one applies....I so love those white beans and have used them to fill up jars before.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful crazy idea! Would be neat to use on a casual buffet for the silverware!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of utensil bouquets to show off some colorful utensils.
ReplyDeleteI like the tin with the number. I am into numbers so I think I will take a tin tomorrow and number it.
thanks for the inspiration.
I love it! :)
