When I bought the Lazy Susan that I introduced you to last
week, I honestly had no idea that I would have
so much fun with it. I have yet to use it at dinner as a way to serve
seasonings, condiments, or various Indian or Chinese dishes, but I have been
having a delightful time decorating it.
I love to set a beautiful table, and I equally love those three tier stands,
but sometimes dealing with either of those seems a bit daunting. This little
gem, on the other hand, requires only a handful of items in order to look inviting.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but sometimes I will buy one or two
plates or cups because I happen to like them, but then wonder about their use.
With this Lazy Susan, I can display such items, and enjoy them every day.
The day after Mother’s Day I got a heck of a deal on tulips. Aldi was selling
10 stems of tulips for $2.49. Naturally, I had to buy two. I put them into one
of my favorite pitchers, and that was the start of a new arrangement on the
Lazy Susan.
I complemented the color of the tulips with organic
baby heirloom tomatoes from Melissa’s produce.
I also decided to add faux garlic and a bunch of faux scallions to signify
spring. Soon enough, I will be bringing in fresh ones of my own.
The plaid napkins are favorites of mine, as well as the little wooden scoop,
part of a trio that I picked up last year at Target.
My hope is to change up the arrangement twice a month if not every week, to
reflect the changing seasons, and display some of my favorite things.
Your table always looks amazing! This arrangement is no exception! You have an eye for decorating.
ReplyDeleteI have a lazy Susan that I keep on my round dining table. I love your idea to display things I love because we hardly ever use it unless I have a group for dinner. Your flowers were quite a deal and they look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAdorable Pattie! I love your piggie bowls! {I often buy just 1 or 2 things too:)}
ReplyDeleteAll the food above this post looks so good and then I get to this post - love the setting, the tulips...We're going to Aldi for our monthly shopping today! have you ever gotten their Moser Roth truffles - the one in the box with 16. OMG so good.
ReplyDeleteand below..that ceasar salad - that's my favorite salad of all time.
This is so beautifully done, and oh, what a deal on those tulips!!! I totally missed that boat.😕 You're so right about the ease of decorating a Lazy Susan vs a tiered tray. You feel at ease in changing it up often. Great job! Have fun!!!
