Candles and Daffodils




I love collecting candle holders from thrift stores and spray painting them to give them new life.
These candle holders were painted with Krylon in Dover White.



This vignette includes daffodils from my garden, which are in a blue vase from a thrift store.  I also love collecting blue and white. 


This is a before photo of one of the candle holders above.  It's amazing what a can of spray paint can do!

Thank You and a Sneak Peak


I was the fortunate winner of a giveaway from Rosemary at Villabarnes, which consists of a redesigned box, bottle, two tags, vintage towel and pillow.  Rosemary's creations are so beautiful and unique.  Thank you, Rosemary!  I love every. single. item.

This vignette is displayed on a piece of furniture that received a makeover.  I'm giving you a sneak peak; details to come soon.




I wasn't the only one excited to receive a package.  Smokey thinks the packing material was sent just for him.

Christmas Reflections


I started decorating for Christmas a few weeks ago.  I set out candles, silver and pine cones; that's as far as I got with the decorating when I got the news that my brother had passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack.  He was 52.  It kind of knocks the wind out of you.  I feel like I'm moving through quicksand.



I was going to get out some more decorations today, and I just couldn't.  So I decided to take photos of what I have and post it.


I know these photos won't win any prizes, but it's been weeks since I took any photos or posted to my blog, and I enjoyed the process again.  I've missed it.


I love Christmas.  I'll just be celebrating in a quiet, reflective way this year.




That's Smokey Bear curled up in the sunshine on his cat tree.  He has the best seat in the house.

Christmas blessings to you and yours.

Fall Tablescape


Fall is my favorite time of year.  I love the colors, scents and cooler weather.  
This is my tablescape in the entry.


Love my white candlesticks, urn and deer antler with just a touch of orange and brown from the pumpkins, leaves and pinecones.





Thanks for visiting.

The feather was found in my yard.

Blue and White



This is a favorite corner in my kitchen with some of my blue and white collection.  The blue and white plates are hung with Disc Hangers, which are wonderful.  The blue bottles have been collected over time from thrift stores, and the spice cabinet belonged to my grandmother.



Peonies in blue and white pitchers.

One of my favorite books on decorating is A Passion for Blue and White by Carolyne Roehm.  It's a beautiful and inspiring book.

Thanks for visiting and come again.

Candles and Seashells


I can't get enough of candles and seashells.


The glass jars, vases and tray are thrift store finds.




Love the blues and turquoise.
 

The detail on this vase is so pretty.


I purchased this glass "beach ball" with sand and shells many years ago.

I guess I've liked seashells for a long time.

Spring Tablescape and Smokey the Bandit



A simple spring tablescape.


This is Smokey, the picture of innocence.

And here's Smokey the Bandit using one of the eggs as a soccer ball.



I'm going to have to purchase a cloche to protect my nest display.
