Sometimes it is something simple that grabs your heart and runs away with it.
Something with rustic charm.
Simple construction and a whole lot of potential.
The other day a surprise package arrived from Antique Farmhouse
and inside- one of the items was this vintage style dough bowl.
I loved how many details it had with those carvings and that gorgeous dark rubbed finish.
And the size- nice and long- perfect for placing on the dining room table.
My first thought was flowers of course- and clippings of peonies.
This dough bowl is perfect for carting through the garden and holding your fresh flower clippings.
(of course you would need to add some soaked floral foam
if leaving the flowers this way on the table.)
But you can also fill this with succulents
moss and rattan spheres
maybe a few little candles with sand and shells
simply by itself to add a bit of rustic charm to your table
and even fresh fruit or breads- yes, it is food safe!
Really the possibilities are endless.
And something fun from Antique Farmhouse today-
they are a long time sponsor here at French Country Cottage and wanted to
give something away to a reader.
And you have 4 ways and chances to enter to win a dough bowl of your own.

And to take a peek at the dough bowl and more detail- it is on sale at Antique Farmhouse today
you can find it here
and
See you tomorrow for a summer home tour with some of my favorite blog friends.
Happy Tuesday everyone.







This is Kathy, and I love your blog! I had never seen the Antique Farmhouse site and I really could buy half of what they have! I really loved the Vintage Bird Prints in the "It's a Classic" shop. I have some that are similar that I found in a little antique shop. I'd love to add to my collection. Thanks for the chance to win the doughbowl. My mama, who is 85, has her grandmother's and it is something we cherish.
I am already subscribe to Antique Farmhouse. Love the dough bowl.
The peonies with the rustic dough bowl is gorgeous.
This is Kathy again and I just signed up for the Antique Farmhouse newsletter! By the way, those peonies in the doughbowl are real beautiful. That's one of my favorite flowers. Every year I look forward to spring and seeing my great-grandmother's peonies bloom in the yard she worked hard in, that is now my yard. Although she died in 1973, those peonies, that bloom every year, remind me of her beauty and love.
I just followed Antique Farmhouse on Pinterest. Wow! Love their stuff!

Hello! what a wonderful giveaway! I love Antique Farmhouse and get their posts nearly every day…what outstanding products they have! I have a few of them and love them all. I guess when I looked at the site today, I was drawn to the demilune table but…love the dough bowl most of all…have wanted one for years!…and to have a few peonies for it would be the icing on the cake!! Thanks so much
Hi Courtney, been coveting the dough bowl for awhile. Was excited to see it when I got my daily dose of Antique Farmhouse, but end of month budget wouldn't let me give in to the temptation. Yep, it's a beauty!
Oh wow, ok, entry one. I have a lot of favorites. In addition to the Dough Bowl, in Style Fusion- the Wire Mobile Hanging Photo Holder and then the Open Cabinet with Shelves. Those are my colors! Light earthy ivory/beiges. Then in Bold Statements – The Paper Press is amazing and for some reason I am in love with the black bunny. I don't know what I would do with him but I adore him. I think my coffee station needs the Three Tier Basket Stand in the Potters Bench area. I like that it has higher sides than most I have seen.
