can you believe it! I think it is wonderful. I was informed by a reader (thank you Abby!) that these wooden pieces were used to form sugar cones when sugar was very expensive. The cones would traditionally be wrapped in paper and stored under lock and key in colonial times. Abby is a prop stylist and has used these before to display flowers, spices, herbs, flatware and candles. I cannot wait to swap out the displays as our seasons change as well.







Welcome Tuesday.
That is a gorgeous piece and perfect with those candles in it. I wonder what it was used for orignally? It is unusual which is one of the reasons I love it! Hugs- Diana
