~~~Some Vignettes Using my Antlers!!~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share with you some vignettes I did using my antlers and turtle shells I got from my BIL! We are going downstairs to the family room today. I found these 2 large candle sticks at a local gift shop and fell in love with them!! On them are 2 birch branch candles that my BIL also made for us. He is a very handy guy!!! Thanks, Dale!!! See how LARGE that pinecone is?!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgftLvqHVTBiTsQStEyNi-HnCq-yCWY5Q_8v81GTj-wgkt7bSdTKZmzc5tvbxDGCByQ3c0PXm9urQTEPsgSbeV15Xk_IJ6fC-BvCc9faWfgp_pEYKwrHSUlw-8BWMuzQZWscBVd31pSvBrN/s1600/IMG_0894.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" nfa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgftLvqHVTBiTsQStEyNi-HnCq-yCWY5Q_8v81GTj-wgkt7bSdTKZmzc5tvbxDGCByQ3c0PXm9urQTEPsgSbeV15Xk_IJ6fC-BvCc9faWfgp_pEYKwrHSUlw-8BWMuzQZWscBVd31pSvBrN/s640/IMG_0894.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I fixed this tray for the other end of the coffee table. I put some pine cones, twig balls, a turtle shell, and some antlers in a pottery bowl. Next to that is another birch candle and behind that one of the VERY large pine cones I got this year. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmr-Ng0O0uuKftQ1XPBh6a0UMaLQuw_XdOnZCgisgAzlxv4YQufvT2LOw_RvIeIZInr1QNOJkvScI04He5u27EO4EX2eXfiG-g38s6VP5-lR-XY-0zrOy-NxEkKzadCfhc3USxNpjinpn/s1600/IMG_0866.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" nfa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmr-Ng0O0uuKftQ1XPBh6a0UMaLQuw_XdOnZCgisgAzlxv4YQufvT2LOw_RvIeIZInr1QNOJkvScI04He5u27EO4EX2eXfiG-g38s6VP5-lR-XY-0zrOy-NxEkKzadCfhc3USxNpjinpn/s640/IMG_0866.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This is the runner on the table.
