This arrangement definitely puts a nice crispy coating of Spring in our entry.  I know its only February, but I just cant help it.      
Candys Ultimate Deep-Fried Decor Ingredients: 1) flowers 2) deep fryer basket 3) add 9 cups of milk...glass Sizzle, sizzle...
I already know this basket will be making its rounds in our home.  I tell you, theres nothing better than a multipurpose piece of junk!  
After gathering my goodies at the restaurant warehouse, I paid my bill and left a tip...buy JUNK!

I took Sue's advice from her books regarding restaurant supply warehouses being a great source for junk pieces and made a small trek to the closest one I could find.  It ended up being only a 35 minute drive...well worth it I must say.   

Did you make this?
After you make it, show it off to other members in the Member Junk area.

suewhitney writes: This is so crisp, clean, and beautiful. Great job! Didn't you just love the used restaurant supply store? I wander around in these junk venues for hours at a time, truly amazed at what is to be found.

Thanks for sharing this idea!

Take care,

rebeljunker writes: Hi Candy. I love your arrangement. I too love metal and milk glass. You put it together with just the right touch! Di Posted: 11:09 pm on February 16th
snowyowl writes: Love this idea and the gathering of the milk glass. I collect milk glass and use it all over the house. Grouped in gatherings is nice. I love it for Christmas and winter too with red, candy canes and I put glass votives inside too. they make a great candle arrangment like that too. Love the industrial look with the white glass.

shabbychick writes: Candy - very elegant display (and fat-free too!!)! Looks like you had fun at the restaurant supply store (there's one just up the street from where I work - might have to stop in on my lunch hour some time). I love the basket - and, of course - the white vases!

Thanks for sharing!

Junk_Sophisticate writes: Thank you all! It was great fun perusing the aisles of the warehouse and disappointing I couldn't buy more that day.

texasjunkermom - The stand is an old Napanee Hoosier-style cabinet that comes complete with metal flour drawer. I bought it at a garage sale last summer for $10. It definitely needs some TLC and is on my to-do list. You can see it in one of my original posts to the site. http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/967/care-to-share-advice

Thanks again for the wonderful coments...now off to see what else I can cook up.

I logged in hoping there would be a "Candy Gram" waiting for me. Once again, you have created a top shelf project. Keep 'em coming!
