Rag Garland

I have been working on some garlands in the evening while watching a little TV.     Since DWTS is over,  we have been watching AGT.   Anyway,  this morning I decided to hang one of my garlands on the front of the piano.
The before photo shows how the top of the piano has looked sine I removed all the bunnies and Easter décor a long, long time ago!   That's all I did....remove the bunnies and leave the rest "as is"...lol!
I have really enjoyed making these garlands, and my stash of scrap fabric is beginning to get under control.
I added a rag flower and some pleated pink trim to my garland to give it a little bling.

I made a vignette on the piano top using some rose plates,  a dried bouquet in a vintage salt shaker,  and a cute 50's poodle.

I wanted to use this "new to me" vintage lamp in my vignette that I bought at a local consignment store last week.
I thought it was lovely and the price was sure right!

I added some candle light to the other end of the piano,  and my vignette was finished!
I love the fresh new look!
