Unique ~
being only one of its kind;
unlike anything else
The Annual Fall Round Top Antiques Week
offers a unique opportunity to see
an interesting assortment of vintage and antique items.
Uncommon objects, if you will!
I found myself snapping photos of the unique tablescapes
seen in many of the dealer booths this year at
Marburger Farm Antique Show.

Obviously these tablescapes are not
ones created for actual meals, but rather ones styled
to show case items for sale and to draw
perspective buyers into the booths to shop,
though the inspiration gleaned is notable.

The large chicken feeder filled with natural
elements and used as a centerpiece could easily translate
to one's own farm table as would the idea of
vintage bottles used as candlesticks.
Another dealer was selling these
vintage metal gauge plates.
As well as these interesting
vintage blue glass bottles.
This table immediately caught my eye with
its pops of blue, the feathers, the brown transfer ware
paired with white ironstone, wonderful old silver flatware,
and the clever use of the gauge plates.
and the clever use of the gauge plates.
Then later, the table above must have sold,
so the dealer recreated the tablescape onto this chippy blue table.
Love the addition of the paper placemats.
Did you notice the clever use of the individual pages
from the 1800s hymnal?
Simplicity here with the various wooden mallets
to accent the vintage white ironstone plates.
This glass top table setting incorporated rustic touches
of vintage almanacs from the 1800s and
an assortment of vintage flatware
presented in little burlap bags.
A touch of glamor with shabby chic
for this table that featured
a mix of seashells and shed antlers.
Notice the feather decor atop the white pumpkin.
Vintage hymnals with baby pumpkins
added a touch of seasonal color to this old farm table,
while the vintage wooden horse was the obvious focus.
How clever this display is!
The simplicity of the bare table and minimal
use of objects drew my attention to the old whisk brooms
with their garlands of dried seed pods.
Love this idea for a centerpiece vignette for fall.
Yes, the creative talent of the dealers that show at
Marburger Farm Antique Show never disappoints.
The above table is one from years ago,
but continues to remain one of my all time favorites.
