Kimberley at Cosmos and Cleome, in commenting on my In a Vase on Monday post today, asked to see a side view of the celery dish in the arrangement. In my continuing effort to be responsive to my readers, here is the requested photograph.
I took out the heuchera leaves to show just the dish…
and added an additional look from the top for good measure.
Kimberley, I hope this is the view you wanted.

What a stunning dish?
Is it antique or modern?

It is old. My Arranger remembers seeing it at family events when she was a small girl. I don’t know how long it’s been in the family.

Thanks! : ) It’s every bit as lovely as I imagined it would be! My grandmother had a similar dish that we would see at large family dinners. I hope it wasn’t too hard for your arranger to put the Heuchera leaves back into it!

Sadly, the clean dish went back into the cabinet.

Sorry, Cathy. The leaves didn’t survive the second photo shoot.

Hi, I have nominated you for a Liebster award for new blogs. I have only been following you for a short while but I really enjoy your posts. This is a bit of a chain letter thing though and involves answering a few questions and linking back to me, having just done this myself it wasn’t difficult just a little time consuming. If you look at my latest post I think all will become clear and you will find all the questions you need to answer there too. Thank Sue Turner.
