As promised, here are pictures of the box in the display I am copying from
Kathy. You can see the very display I admire so much
here. I wanted the items in the box to be as close to the same

as possible so I emailed her once again to ask how did she get the edges of the coverlet piece frayed so nicely and she told me that
Linda gave her that piece of coverlet, so off I went to try and find out how
Linda accomplished this look. She was so kind to share with me how she ripped the hem off of a Lover's Knot coverlet napkin, which I had one of myself, so I was able to get the look I was after. The two of them are true decorating inspirations! Thank you both!
So now I have the piece of coverlet, I had just the perfect sprig of greenery and an Early Lighting Pillar candle which I sell in my
shoppe! I already had Yellowware bowls and pomegranates, all I needed was to find was some artificial cherries, which I did! So I proceeded to think of where and how I would replicate this

display in my own home. I decided that the best place for it would be on a table I have under my wall cabinet that you may remember from previous posts. I have tweaked it a bit for summertime as well!

I've changed what I have on the shelves just a bit as well as change what I have hanging on the pegs. On one of the pegs I have a small Longaberger basket and on another I have one of
Pam's Onion baskets, it's the middle sized of the 3 that I have, they're quite lovely and really fun baskets to decorate with! She sells her handmades
here!
I thought that my Jamestown Willow Jacquard table runner would look good with it so that is what I have the display on, I sell them in my
shoppe and of course I had to keep one for myself, after all it's willow trees! I also have a nifty little lamp behind the box there that has a willow tree on it. It looks like a candle but it's actually an electric light. So I placed a few more items I had to balance out the display and there ya have it!

You did a wonderful job. I Love the cherries, loved Linda's when I saw hers. I wanted some, so....
I actually tried to make some ...LOL...IMPATIENT ME...just can't wait for them to arrive in the mail...so I made 'em.
They are no where near as nice as yours, Linda's and Kathy's...
but at least I have some CHERRIES now! :) Once I get caught up around here and can get back to crafting, I might try to make some more, I'd like a nice big bowl of 'em!
Thanks for sharing all you prim pretties!
Have a wonderful week.

Hi Janet! Oh yes, I did hit the jackpot with more to come! I love that old pie safe too - I'm so tempted to bring it home! Dad is back in the hospital and I wasn't able to open today. Talk to you soon, Dawn
Thanks Janet. This is sure a sad time in our lives right now. We thought we were losing Dad on Monday night, but he has rallied quite a bit. Your support means the world to me! Dawn
Happy Bleated Birthday Janet ~~

Janet - that display looks great! Now I think I want some of those cherries myself!!!
Thanks Lydia!....if you want to buy the same cherries that Linda and I have, go to www.usifloral.com and type the word cherries into the search box and they should come up!....I think they were $8.99 + shipping for the bag. Janet
