SAVORY ROASTER & SQUIRREL




The finessing is done, so here's a peek!

 My treasure hunt find paired with a little spring squirrel has turned out to be the perfect fall combination, along with some flowers of course!  My fall arrangement has found a home here on the porch...




The "savory" roaster has a lid, so I could use it one of two ways,  without the lid...




Or, with the lid...








So which do you like best, with the lid or without?





Love  your sweet comments!

Blessings,
Cindy

    Cindy, I love that roaster filled with flowers. How pretty. The squirrel is too cute. I have a thing for the little guys, too. Great vignette.

    Just wanted to stop by and thank you for visiting my new blog and leaving me a sweet comment! I also signed up to follow your blog. What a great idea to put flowers in a roaster pan! I love ideas like that (thinking outside the box). This is Kelly from The Essence of Home. Having trouble with my computer leaving comments using my acct name when I have to select a profile. Should be worked out soon.

    Hey Cindy, I like it with the lid, the only way I could like it any better is if it were mine! I love Savory and the squirrel. Have a great day!

    Your roaster looks perfect for fall filled with mums. I love the cute fall collar you gave Mr. Squirrel. What a lovely vignette! I like the roaster either way, but I think w/o the lid looks best.

    Love your gorgeous Fall vignette, Cindy! The roaster turned planter is perfect (with OR without the lid) and the palette you've chosen is beautiful! I have that same red leaf placemat, too ... great anchor for your vignette!

    Cindy, how could I ever choose which way I like your spectacular roaster turned planter. It is delightful both ways. I think it was so creative to turn that roaster into a planter~ and you styled it brilliantly!
    I leave very inspired... and looking for a roaster! Great post and such pretty pictures.

    Oh so pretty, CIndy! I really like the roaster. I think I like it better with the lid. My acorn needs your squirrel so bad!...Christine

    Lovely use of your finds. The words squirrel and roaster did not seem to go together until I saw your post!

    Cindy, this is stunning! I love your arrangement. I agree with the previous comment. Squirrel and roaster? I had a "Fatal Attraction" moment. LOL

    What a beautiful arrangement!! I love it with the lid. It just completes the look and makes it a much more interesting vignette. I don't have a roasting pan but I do have some enamelware type buckets with lids....You've inspired me :)

    Your table looks fabulous for autumn. Although the roaster looks lovely with the lid, I'm thinking that without it you can enjoy the flowers while looking through the window from the yard. Two views, both great!

    LOVE your vignette with your new roaster and the little squirrel. Squirrel looks so spiffy with his/her fall bow. I can't decide about the lid. I actually like it both ways. Great look and so inviting on your porch. Love that porch.

    Love it. That roaster is just the greatest thing. Love the flowers and so pretty with or without the lid. How creative is that. The bow and rafia on the squirrel is so pretty too and you have created such a beautiful vignette. The candle and acorns are just the perfect finishing touch. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

    Cindy, I would not have thought of using this as a planter. I used to have a speckled nay one. Great fall vignette. Blessings Terri www.morningdewdrops.typepad.com

    I like how you complete a scene; you wrap ribbon around squirrel and then add autumnal embellishment to ribbon.
    I like lid slightly better than no lid.

    I'm impressed! A roaster, for crying out loud, who knew!!!! Love the vignette. I like it with the lid, myself...but what it Ms. Squirrel becomes animated during the night and eats the nuts and her tail knocks the lid on the roaster....what then.....? (Okay, soooooo I'm a little mental...be nice) ☺
