Ahh <a href="http://cravenmaven.wordpress.com/category/craven-wishlist/">wish lists</a>,<a href="http://coquetteanddove.blogspot.com/search/label/lust%20list"> lust lists</a>, <a href="http://www.sfgirlbybay.com/?s=want+list">want lists</a> - whichever way you call them, they all equate to one thing: things we want and momentarily can't have. Either due to budget constraints or availability.

A few weeks back I posted an<a href="http://cravenmaven.wordpress.com/2010/08/25/taking-the-outdoors-in-for-the-autumn/"> Indoor Garden Party moodboard</a> that was a wish list of sorts. I want summer to stick around a wee bit longer (thank you NY, it appears that that wish is coming true), and I wish with an unlimited budget that I could buy everything on said moodboard. But alas..budget constraints and what not.

So this week, I thought, 'what if' I tried to source similar items off etsy to create the same indoor/outdoor dining setting at a somewhat more available price? The alternatives were not much of a compromise and were in some cases, a lot more rustic and interesting. Check it out:

1.Vintage Wolff and Reessing Anchovy Mustard Wood Crate 1888 Trademark - $58 by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/55024355/vintage-wolff-and-reessing-anchovy">"&gt;Fabuless Finds</a>. The original crate I fashioned as a bread basket and this is no exception.

2. Poplar Round Cutting Board (Sm) - $12 by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/53559344/poplar-round-cutting-board-sm">boards and beads</a>. A suitable substitute for the placemats idea proposed in the initial moodboard.

3. Crated Glass Water Jug - $125 by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/54918851/crated-glass-water-jug">serotonum soap</a>. This totally exceeded my expectations for a vessel to carry home made soda..the crate surrounding the glass jug is just BRILLIANT. I would buy this in a HEARTBEAT!

4. Antique French Silver Cutlery and Serving Set 21 pieces - $55 by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/52603250/antique-french-silver-cutlery-and?ref=sr_list_39&amp;ga_search_query=cutlery&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_page=2&amp;order=&amp;includes[0]=tags&amp;includes[1]=title">deborah shop</a>. Such lovely scrolled detail and enough tarnish to be vintagely kewl.

5. Set of 40 Tissue Poms. Pick Your Colors - $130 by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/55721682/set-of-40-tissue-pomsfree-us-priority?ref=sr_list_2&amp;ga_search_query=tissue+flowers&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_page=&amp;order=&amp;includes[0]=tags&amp;includes[1]=title">fiesta pom pom</a>. You don't have to get all 40, as fiesta pom pom offers lesser amounts, but using these to create a ceiling floral display would be a nice alternative to a floral table display and could be used over and over.

6. Hand Screen Printed Fabric - Yellow Belbird - $16.50 for napkins by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/54951793/hand-screen-printed-fabric-yellow">melbomba</a>. With a few zips zip zips of the sewing machine one could fashion their own napkins...perfect!

7. Mid Century Modern Pewter Mushroom Salt and Pepper Set - $12 by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/54067486/mid-century-modern-pewter-mushroom-salt?ref=sr_list_31&amp;ga_search_query=mushroom+salt+pepper+shakers&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_page=&amp;order=&amp;includes[0]=tags&amp;includes[1]=title">Urban Mining Co</a>. Too cute. Nuff said.

8. Rectangle Concrete Bowl with Moss Stones - $45 by<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/48716540/rectangle-concrete-bowl-with-moss-stones"> benjrs</a>. How's this for a center piece? This rectangle planter is brilliant, what a presence, and the moss stones instead of flowers or succulents is an interesting visual alternative.

9. Antique circa 1930s Sovereign Canada tea set - $35 from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/55677578/antique-circa-1930s-sovereign-canada-tea">fuchsia 1</a>. A beaut of a tea set with enough settings for 6 persons. Fragile, beautiful and classic. It makes me think of tea in the garden on a sunny English day.
