CAN I pull this off?

I love to put a wire canning insert in the middle of the table, and change the decor in it constantly. The tablecloth is from the Country Living line. I just adore it, so fun for summer.

This was my Mother-in-law, Vallie. She was Martha Stewart before anyone even heard of Martha Stewart. I was very lucky to know her for 17 years. She was everything I wanted to be as a new bride, she did it all.

She taught me how to make bread, and use a canner. She had a root cellar full of canned goods every year.

I love canning and canned for years. She was so amazing, I could write a book about her. 

So, when I started finding wire canner inserts, I decided to collect them, what's one more collection???

They just make me smile when I find them, thinking of her, canning in her kitchen.

I hung a couple on the wall, not sure if they make good wall art, but we'll see.

This is 3 more of them on my barn red wall, soon to be painted. I have decided it is time to go white. It's so funny how we change, when all my walls were white, all I wanted was color, and now it's back to white. I think they will look much better on a white wall.

I know they will  make my friends give me the hmmm look, what do you think?

Have a good day!
