Here she is Miss Congeniality.
Just look at her beautiful lines.
But not too closely, she’s far from perfect.
You see, she came from humble beginnings.
Chipped, warped and peeling. Beaten down by the elements.
She’ll never win the pageant.
She’s far from polished and poised.
Her beauty lies within.
She’s wise enough to know that’s where true beauty lives.
Deep down in the heart and the soul.
No sash or crown. No roses or titles.
Yet loved by all.
Miss Congeniality.

Thanks a bunch! The “vase” is an old battery jar. 🙂
gorgeous – so gorgeous! I have a beautiful table like that – so lovely!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic table! Tell us about the container you have the tulips in. Love the color and shape.
Hi Lori, it’s an old battery jar. Thanks for stopping by!
The table is lovely, but the tulips are the real show-stopper!
Korrie, agree! Love tulips!
An adorable little table…looking pretty good now 🙂 Just bought tulips yesterday as well….nothing says “Spring” better than a beautiful boquet.
Amen to that! 🙂 Love tulips.
What a beautiful vignette! The table and the “vase” are gorgeous! Is the vase an old battery jar?

Thank you, Chris! Yes, it’s an old battery jar. 🙂
Love , love , love it.
Thanks, L!
I had no idea veneer could be removed like this. I’ll be taking a closer look at giving this kind of damaged furniture a new life from now on. Thanks!

Hi Laurie…oh yes…I just use a screwdriver and a hammer to pry it up. I’ve also heard you can “steam” it off with an iron…but haven’t tried it. 🙂
Very nice! Sheila
Thanks, Sheila.
One of my favorite posts yet! Your delivery of this message was spot on!
What color/colour 🙂 did you paint the table? It’s beautiful! I have never seen a jar that shape before, someone else asked you as well what kind of jar it “used to be”.

Hi Kim! I used Annie Sloan “Louis Blue” but cut it with “Old White” to get a very pale blue. The jar is an old battery jar! 🙂
I too – love the vase. What is it? I want one.
Hi Dobie…it is a vintage battery jar. 🙂

Thanks, Cassie…loved your striped dresser!
She is a beauty! Love the old battery jar as a vase too. I’m guessing the photos are on your newly painted porch, and they are lovely.
She’s perfect! Love the lady!
