This winter arrangement is an unexpected and delightful addition to your holiday decor.

Here lies the treasure awaiting transformation.

Ribbons of green and silver woven through the wire basket work well with this industrial metal container. They help take the edge off and provide a touch of softness.

I attached another little junk gem front and center of the basket. This is the center of a round iron floor grate and resembles a snowflake.

This is really gem, on top of gem, on top of gem! A rhinestone pin becomes the sparkling center of the snowflake.

Measure the inside of the basket and cut corrugated packing cardboard and place inside basket. I left mine about 1/2 inch taller than the basket. I also put a plastic tray on the bottom for watering ease.

The gliittered feather adds just the right touch of sparkle to the arrangement.

You might remember these little glass baubles from one of my earlier "stash of goodies" posts. The glass rings on eye hooks are make believe icicles.

Sitting on the table and all ready to take its place of honor in the dining room window. Here is a tip..if you have an arrangement hanging in the window by the dining room table you can play down the actual centerpiece and save money. This piece will last the season while fresh cut flowers wil only last a few days.

I seriously don't know where this metal beauty came from or what it was in its former life. I suspect maybe a dry cleaner. What do you think? What I do know is that it makes an excellent piece to display holiday florals. Picture windows are not my favorites and I have a couple of them with which to contend. To help cure my big pane of glass blues, I opt for hanging junkables in the center to break up the expanse of the window. You can only imagine my delight when I found this unusual treasure!
