Nina Fair , 2026

This 12″ by 9″ by 3″ deep vignette in a stained modern storage crate was inspired by a decorated table and shelf unit I came across, and I decided to not only create something similar, but expand on the scene by adding extras on the sides.  There are a number of artisan pieces, but I do not know the names of all the artists (please see list below).  I pieced together the main table/shelving unit with purchased parts, including a miniature pallet and crates, and painted much of it, as well as the ladder, to look like weathered wood.  I put some of the floral arrangements together myself, embellished some of the clay pots with moss, made the rose wreath and decorated the small ladder on the right with moss and faux wisteria blooms.

Artisan pieces whose creators I know the names of include a crock by Carolyn Nygren Curran, weed killer can and kerosene can by Sir Thomas Thumb, small potted African violet by Barbara Meyer, Sr., the little plant in an acorn cap by Shawna, and a number of the crates and the pallet by Things for Your Other House.  The carved wooden bird, bird feeder, birdhouses and the tall basket holding the pink and white flowers were all handmade, too, but I don't know the artists' names.
