The question is actually...
I picked up the table and egg cups at a local antique store. (If you want to see what I did with the marble top, click here.)
"What can you do with 4 egg cups
and a box of grapevine spheres?"
I picked up the table and egg cups at a local antique store. (If you want to see what I did with the marble top, click here.)

I also found this huge box of approximately 15 grapevine spheres at Goodwill for a screamin' deal. And by screamin', I mean glass-shattering, ear drum-busting chaos! When I was checking out, the cashier exclaimed, "That price for the whole box? I would have marked each of them that amount." I just smiled and said, "It's a great deal, isn't it?" So glad she wasn't the one pricing that day!

Well, put 'em all together (and throw in a camera-junkie for good measure) and what do you have? Lots of similar (but still different) photos of a simple centerpiece...





I thought I would also get you some good shots of the Amish harvest table so many people have asked about. This actually was...Are you ready for this?...an ebay find! It is originally from an Amish family in Wisconsin. It seats 10-12 people, and it is one of my favorite pieces in the house.

I adore the individual drawers (6 on each side and 1 on each end) in which the Amish family used to store each person's individual place settings. That would mean they used to seat 14 people at this table!

So, get out those egg cups and put 'em to work in your decor!

What happened to the other grapevine spheres?









That is so cute, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Love the combination of the sparkly crystal against the grapevine spheres. Your harvest table is killer! What an incredible find!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Tina
They look so pretty on your beautiful table, proudly holding the grapevine spheres!
ReplyDeleteWendy
Oh why don't i have some egg cups and grapevine spheres!!! I just LOVE "screaming LOVE" what you did... and the table.... no words needed.... beautiful!
ReplyDeletexo,
LuLu
Amy.. these are truly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat table is to die for. I love any and all things Amish. It just speaks to me for some reason. This is a marvelous piece and those drawers for the individual place settings are just great. Can you tell I love it?
ReplyDeleteThe table totally rocks the house. Bring the egg cups w/ you to Zapp and I'll show you how we can use them with Jack Daniels! haaa! ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, I'm a camera junkie too...I recently took about 30 pictures of the same flower ball...Your grapevine deal is amazing, I just looked at similar ones at Michael's and they wanted 4.99 each, yeah right! Your pictures are great and the table really is awesome!
ReplyDeleteMichelle
I LOVE the table! My OCD type-A personality actually likes the idea of each place setting stored neatly in its very own drawer.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a pretty idea with the spheres and egg cups! Love it. Your table is to die for stunning!!!
It is amazing what can be done when simple items are combined. I love love love your table.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you have them displayed. Don't you just a great bargain!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! The table is simply wonderful, and your photos turned out so well.
ReplyDeleteCathy
Great idea, your photos are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou have such clever ideas! And that harvest table...YUM. Hope you bring some of your great ideas over for our first ever linky party for clever ways to display and serve superbowl snacks!!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely! The material mix is so special!
ReplyDeleteHappy S&TFriday!
love, kelee
Oh.my.gosh! That table is unbelievable. I've seen it in other photos, but I didn't realize it had all those drawers. Good grief...what a beauty.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
And, what happened to the fourth egg cup? Love your table...I didn't know the Amish used ebay!
ReplyDeleteGREAT shots!!!
ReplyDeletem ^..^
Ok, That table is to die for, I love golden oak, and all those drawers. BUT wait, what is that greyhound thing on the wall. We rescue greyhounds, and anything greyhound catches my eye.
ReplyDeleteMore pics please.

jealous! I am so in love with all things amish! and I would have never thought of using egg cups that way. In fact, I don't even know if I would have known that they were for eggs! I'm so not "educated" in the finer things in life :)
ReplyDeleteDEAR AMY,
ReplyDeleteTHAT TABLE IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME FIND....GORGEOUS....AWESOME
AND
THEN THE SPHERES...I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU PAID BUT I AM SURE IT IS WAY BELOW WHOLESALE AS EXCITED AS YOU WERE. I HAVE A BOWL THAT 3 OF THEM WOULD FILL UP NICELY...LOL
PUTTING THEM ON THE EGG CUPS WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL.
IF YOU PUT A QUILTED TABLE RUNNER DOWN YOUR TABLE, YOU COULD TAKE A BEAUTIFUL SHALLOW BOWL AND FILL THEM WITH THE SPHERES WITH BOWLS OF APPLES ON EACH SIDE....IT WOULD BE GORGEOUS.
THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US TODAY
BLESSINGS
HUGS
SIMPLY DEBBIE
Amy, thanks so much for posting about the table! My husband and I have been looking for dining room table inspiration and I'm excited to show these pictures to him. Happy Friday! Kelly
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Very Pottery Barnish!
ReplyDeleteI bet it was some guy pricing that day who was like "who would want a bunch of twisted old twigs?". The randomness of Goodwill prices kind of irks me, but you do find some awesome deals occasionally!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous table! We have a table with drawers (not that many, though!) that we keep napkins and trivets in. Very handy.
Ok, I like the egg cups on the table, especially with the sunlight; however, I LOVE the table! It's awesome. I wish I had a place big enough for a huge table.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!

Oh wow! I LOVE that table! Great idea on how to utilize the egg cups and the grapevine spheres.
ReplyDelete~ Tracy
Love the table! Can you imagine 14 people setting down for dinner every night?
ReplyDeleteLove the egg cup idea!
Theresa
Thank you for sharing, great idea. I have some pine cones and a great dish. I'm off to the pantry. Thanks, I love the pictures too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I can't believe you found that whole box at Goodwill. Score! I also love the table. It is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNothing is better than a great deal. NOTHING! Well, okay, maybe chocolate. Fine. But a great deal is still awesome. And, my friend, you are Queen of Finding Great Deals!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like curtsying every time I'm over here.
;-)
I love that table. It is so gorgeous!!! What a great find. How great to find a whole box of those grapevine spheres for a good deal. I saw some yesterday but they were marked $5.99 each and were smaller. I need to do some thrifting. Can't wait to see what you used the rest for.
ReplyDeleteRuth
What a delightful post. I'm not terribly familiar with egg cups, so I enjoyed seeing these. Also, the Amish table was very interesting and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love both the table and the egg cup idea! That table is really gorgeous and what a find! Why can't I ever find wonderful furniture like that on Ebay?! I love that the table used to belong to an Amish family and has a history. Pieces with a history are always the best kind!
ReplyDeleteKat :)
You've done it again. Another amazing idea that looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteSo what was that screamin' price? I recently got a find that I wanted to sneak out under my coat, it was that good.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!! And this reminds me that I have got to get myself to the thrift store. I just used grapevine balls and moss with some candle holders...check it out at my blog!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Beautiful table.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Table scape! Simple, beautiful, perfect. I have so many of those grapevine spheres in my house!!! I love them. Can't wait to see what else you do with them!
ReplyDeleteWow, those look great! Your photos are pretty amazing too! I love that marble top. I would have bought the table just for that also!
ReplyDeleteI love the Amish! Aren't you fortunate to have an authentic Amish table. It is beautiful! Joan @Americana By Candlelight
