Our Nature, Creation and Inspiration Table

2009 July 17

The Magic Onions, is hosting a weekly Friday’s Nature Table, which celebrates nature and imagination. I thought I would share our “nature, creation and inspiration table.” The Little Ladies and I have MANY nature tables throughout the house. The one that follows is my favorite! It is placed in our “creative room” right in front of our big bow window. The table is an old thrifted table I found about a month ago for $20 (a steal). It is solid oak, big and wonderful!


On the table you will find projects waiting to be finished with needed supplies of art pencils, watercolors, oil pastels, paint brushes, glue and nature journals. Usually you will find a Little Lady there too, all is easy access for their creative pleasure.

Sewing on leaves project.

Feathers, monarch caterpillars and beetles, and water frogs (from the pet store) are also there for observation and nature journal inspiration.
Baskets of pressed leaves and sycamore bark are there for art projects.

Reused glass bottles full of flowers to be observed or dissected.

Baskets of flowers waiting to be pressed and various flower presses are close at hand.
Homemade clipboards with pollen studies attached.

HA! This table is in the same room as my herb table. This creative room is a room full of “organized clutter,” much to my hubby’s distress. Since this room is too much to take in for one post I’ll save the cabinets full of more nature and art supplies for a later date.

The tables’ contents change daily and will change as the seasons change. It may be a little “messy” to look at from afar, but my little ladies and I find it absolutely beautiful!
