These things might be painted or left natural, real or artificial, large or not-so-large.     <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Second is to add something refined or glamorous such as a hand crafted ceramic piece, a beautifully framed sketch, glassware, leather bound books, or a lacquer box. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Third is to choose something that serves as a background that ties it all together such as a tray, a large open basket or bowl, a cutting board, a table runner, or a garland.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">To create a table centerpiece suitable to stage a dining room in autumn (above photo), I made a simple grapevine wreath. My other natural element is green apples. The glass bowl holding the apples is my requisite "refined piece," even though it isn’t cut crystal or hand blown glass. And the checkered table runner is my background layer. Like I said, easy as counting to three.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">You can elaborate on these basics if the area you are staging is large.

Wood Slices + Sanders

Unfortunately - <i>finding </i>slices of wood locally proved to be impossible. Although we found them on <a href="http://prf.hn/click/camref:11l3pT/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fpeople%2Fpennypeople%2Ffavorites%2Fweddingbells%2F%3Fref%3Dfavs_index_7" target="_blank">Etsy </a>they were pretty expensive to ship to Canada. I kept racking my brain trying to figure out how we could do our own. It wasn't until I was at our cottage - a few weeks before the wedding that it hit me - We have a TON of wood stumps on our property and all I needed was someone to slice them. (It seems obvious I know, but really it was the slicing part that was stumping* me)<br /><br />The "ah-ha" moment was the realization that a man who works at one of my favourite cottage antique spots always was wood working outside the shop, and it hit me that if anyone knew how to slice the stumps, he would. I decided to try my luck and see if he would be able to help me. And he said yes! He informed me all we needed was a chainsaw. Well, we needed a chainsaw and someone comfortable enough to use it. That's where Andy came in.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-7PmkvUaoY6GjLH0KpVGi6Fz6Qe-YMBTtiXVIbI3KDw3IgvE4QBtElaMX402z5Xs8UbLW9Cj2kG6pNzNJFSPotXN1QauoGbwXOYVHfm5DeNFiCiBmNdmgXiRSMfSuPzVduVGtO2QA_M/s1600/IMG_8310.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-7PmkvUaoY6GjLH0KpVGi6Fz6Qe-YMBTtiXVIbI3KDw3IgvE4QBtElaMX402z5Xs8UbLW9Cj2kG6pNzNJFSPotXN1QauoGbwXOYVHfm5DeNFiCiBmNdmgXiRSMfSuPzVduVGtO2QA_M/s1600/IMG_8310.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />Meet Andy. :) A few bucks later, my car was full of slabs.

Although I'm showing it in use for this wedding craft - I actually got more use out of it in some other projects I'm working on - which are coming up.

(Although my brother looks pretty grumpy, but I assure you he was happy). It was ridiculously easy to use. The cool thing with<a href="http://www.homedepot.ca/product/ridgid-heavy-duty-variable-3-in-x-18-in-belt-sander/906070" target="_blank"> this sander</a> is that it has a bag on the end to collect the sawdust - a great plus if you're doing something indoors (which I did do later, and although it doesn't suck up ALL the dust, it's pretty significant how much it does) <br /><br />The thing that I discovered was that the <a href="http://www.homedepot.ca/product/ridgid-heavy-duty-variable-3-in-x-18-in-belt-sander/906070" target="_blank">belt sander </a>was actually <i>too </i>powerful for the little slabs of wood that I initially wanted to use it for. It kept throwing the slabs at me because the rotary part means that the sandpaper well, rotates vs. staying in one place. Even though it kept chucking the wood slices at me (cue a few screams from me, and hysterical laughter of those watching) it worked really well on planks (you can see me sanding a plank above). So if you're sanding small items, stick with a mouse. Bigger items like planks of wood or big furniture pieces - the belt sander is sooooo much fun.<br /><br />With the leftover slices that weren't even enough for resting a vase on - I painted chalk board paint on them to be used throughout the wedding venue to write things on. :)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEictNuZ6W2Xrgr8RJ8G1o8Z-IDtZHJKdBlGdaZ_tEb54BS3Im3Q0LYv6O6C-UV-bg8xIwHapeZpqjP_xsiO5f1i2MZtKNkfTaK9DWpSbihlzcDVHU8YEtEx4F77SWF8aYutaj48IGUtj8o/s1600/IMG_9133.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEictNuZ6W2Xrgr8RJ8G1o8Z-IDtZHJKdBlGdaZ_tEb54BS3Im3Q0LYv6O6C-UV-bg8xIwHapeZpqjP_xsiO5f1i2MZtKNkfTaK9DWpSbihlzcDVHU8YEtEx4F77SWF8aYutaj48IGUtj8o/s1600/IMG_9133.jpg" /></a></div><br />It was pretty darn cute.

I have a whack load of projects on the go, all worthy of blog posts but every night when I typically would come down to my office to write or, get some extra hours of work in - I'd head up to bed, curl up and watch trash TV. It was one of those weeks of feeling bummed out and at the same time pretty thankful for a lot of things. I had some lovely "dates" this week. I went for a coffee with <a href="http://vintagepaperparade.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Debra</a>, and had a girly night sleepover at my Mom's house - and hung out with my new sister and <i>her </i>sister - who also feels like family.  Oscar is home from preschool today, his cold got worse and I've been up a lot at night with him rubbing vicks on his chest and <a href="http://www.divinecaroline.com/self/wellness/twelve-surprising-uses-vicks-vaporub" target="_blank">on his feet.</a> Aubrey thinks I'm nuts but I <i>swear </i>the feet thing works. All in all, it was a really nice week and I'm excited to show you some projects. :) Here are some bits + pieces that I thought I'd share.<br /><ul><li>What would you do to your home if you were given $1,000? <a href="http://brighterlife.ca/2013/09/16/how-would-you-use-1000-to-brighten-your-home/?wt.mc_id=en-ca:Social:Networks:BL:BrighterLifeCA" target="_blank">That's what I was asked and see my response</a> You can enter to win $1,000 - which is <i>aweeeeeeesome</i>. *</li><li>This is genius. <a href="http://themetapicture.com/how-to-recognize-the-artists-of-paintings/" target="_blank">How to recognize artists </a></li><li>Oscar wants to be a pirate for Halloween and he told Aubrey that he has to be Captain Hook and I'll have to be <a href="https://www.google.ca/search?q=mr.+smee&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=DiNCUum-G6qX2QW0wIHABQ&ved=0CEQQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=1075&dpr=1" target="_blank">Mr. Smee</a>. I'm not terribly happy about being <a href="https://www.google.ca/search?q=mr.+smee&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=DiNCUum-G6qX2QW0wIHABQ&ved=0CEQQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=1075&dpr=1" target="_blank"><i>Mr. Smee. </i></a> But then he tried on a Banana costume and for awhile there we were going to have to go as a Banana family. No lie. And I may have bought adult Banana costumes for Aubrey and I. I'm waiting for someone to dare me to walk down the street as a banana.</li></ul><div>Anyhow, have a great weekend! Above are just some shots from my phone this week - shopping at the <a href="http://www.drakegeneralstore.ca/" target="_blank">Drake</a>, walking with my Mom and admiring gardens and of course - dressing up at Target.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>*I was given a $50 gift card for Home Depot my thanks in sharing this link with you! </i></div>

bits + pieces

Happy Friday! I have a whack load of projects on the go, all worthy of blog posts but every night when I typically would come down to my office to write or, get some extra hours of work in - I'd head up to bed, curl up and watch trash TV. It was one of those weeks of feeling bummed out and at the sa…
