Changes Are Natural...Buffet Decor

As the new year blows in, so does change...The Cranky Queen thought it was time for a change in her typical buffet decor.  After browsing blogs, Pinterest & flipping through what seemed like hundreds of magazines, she decided on "a nature's theme."  She really wanted to use items that she already had~so a "hunting she went" in her royal abode!
She started with an old mirror, scalloped metal tray & her imagination!
 
Her wintery buffet vignette included deer antlers, a turtle shell, bird nests, feathers, dried hydrangeas, vintage  wildlife postcards & an original painting by a talented friend, Terri Ellis.
The barley twist candlesticks were found for $2/pair at a Thrift Shop in Herman, MO.


Small wrought iron urns, an old book, metal fleur de lis & a mercury glass ornament added texture to the display...
So while Old Man Winter visits the South, the Cranky Queen's buffet is Mother's Natures way of welcoming him in...

STAY CALM & DECORATE WITH NATURE!

    Natural decorations are best! I'm partial to bird nests, although I want to keep birds far away from me!

    Oh I love decorating with natural elements. I would never have thought of using the turtle shell. Love the birds nest and Hydrangeas! Isn't it great when we can shop from our own home? Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.
    Hugs,
