I’ve been thinking that the ironstone platters would bring a little more contemporary and subdued look to my upbeat 50’s style kitchen…mostly I’m just a bit bored with it though…
Instead…I noticed how lovely a pile of rocks that I had dumped out of a vase looked on a white plastic lid as they dried…so…I grabbed the ironstone platter that I picked up for $1 over the weekend!!!
And…
What an easy way to add an outdoor, contemporary, simple touch to my “Sticks and Stones” piano top that's viewed as a mantel (Thanks Nester!)
...and it was just $1!!!!
I also have to tell you that I am SOOO PROUD of myself for finally putting up a simple post instead of writing a novel each time!!!
Enjoy:)

As a great architect used to say: Less is More. Very lovely vignette. Hope you'll come by Atticmag for our really useful giveaway. -- Jane F.
What a wonderful vignette! I love it...the colors play off of each other so well. Even though you had not set out to use the rocks in that way, they really look good. :)
Beautiful in it's simplicity!

My kids would love to do this! Subtle beauty = the best.
I love it!!! Your white ironstone platter looks fabulous with the rocks on it. I may have to steal this idea. I love your entire sticks & stones vignette. And I had to laugh as your comment about the length of the post. I tend to be quite wordy. So I could relate. Thanks for sharing.

The contrast between the white ironstone and the rocks is perfect. Wonderful vignette!

So cute! I never think to do just simple things!
Haha! Good job! We do tend to babble!
You did good, girl! I like to use that type of river rocks around my home as well. God's art is the most beautiful! I like your blog and your blog name, too. Come see me sometime at sceneofthegrime.blogspot.com
Be blessed!
Lovely display, love your clock too!
That's a nice display idea. Seeing the clock there made me think of "watching the paint dry," although here it was stones drying.
You came up with a great idea to solve both your taste. Very nice post.
Gorgeous vignette!

Rounded stones are always beautiful.
I love simple, organic displays like this. Very hip, thanks for sharing!
Love the white platter with the stones. A clean earthy look. The price is right! Big smile. I am wordy too. That's ok!
