dough bowl trencher - LOVE

Love this picture! I have an antique dough bowl I bought years ago at an antique show that looks almost like the first one - but it has strawberries painted on the inside - it's very old and I love it. I finally had to stop going to antique shows and flea markets!

I haven't done this kind of arrangement in it, it's smaller than the one shown, but I could do the same type of thing just using smaller gourds, etc. Thanks for posting this - it gives me inspiration!

I like them too. My parents currently have my great-grandmother's dough bowl. I will gladly take it off their hands if they ever tire of it.

I have a collection of handmade dough bowls and I love to stack them for display. shesallthat, if you ever go to the Mississippi Craftsman's Guild Chimneyville Festival ( always the first weekend in December) there are always dough bowl makers there.

I love this look. Thanks for sharing!

My brother got an old dough bowl that our grandmother made bread in many years ago. Homey, rustic, worn from use........it is a family treasure, one of many passed down through our large family. I love old family pieces. I have seen similar dough bowls or trenchers in antique shops, and they can be quite expensive!

Love 'em. My grandma had several but I, sadly, didn't end up with any of them. Lots of biscuits made their way in and out of those bowls, then were dipped top and bottom in bacon grease and baked in the oven of an old wood stove.

So, I say, it is fate -

it's another sign Minks!!!

Mochahoney - thank you for that tip!!! i am putting that on my calendar right now so that i can go check it out! i hope to one day be able to say the same as you ""i have a collection of dough bowls!""

Minks - that sounds so amazing! i can just imagine what they must have looked like. i am adding this to my list with the thanksgiving blocks of ""must get's""! hopefully very soon but if not it will stay on my radar until i get my hot little hands on it!!

SHOPR - i would take it off their hand whether they were tired of it or not!!!

I'm ordering the VPH Toile Burlap set of 3 pumpkins (in the natural) and using one of them in an arrangement like OP pictured. I have an antique oblong dough bowl that is large and would look great done like this. Thanks for the inspiration!
