My Valentine’s Day 💟️ decor this year is a lot of red and black in the sun room. We still haven’t painted behind the fireplace so excuse the mess. There is still a lot of work to be done in this room, but I need the warmer weather so things will dry and the carpenter doesn’t freeze out here. As for myself, I’ve gotten my numbers down below 130. I am a type two diabetic …
I’m posting these pictures from Thanksgiving because a lot of people do turkey for Christmas also. This is our turkey deep frying. We started this tradition about 5 years ago. You haven’t tasted the best turkey until you’ve tasted a deep fried one. It is moist in the center and crispy on the outside. My youngest son, Greg, did the frying and carving. It’s great to have family traditions that you can pass down to …
To all the knitters out there, hello! I just started knitting. I’ve made a small lap blanket with pom-poms. It was a lot of fun. It is far from perfect, but that’s OK because I made it myself. The color of the wool is fig. I really like this color and having matching fig colored pillows. Here I’ve taken one of my flower arrangements and added some rust colored feathers berries and branches to change …
Pink is such a wonderful color. Everyone is going crazy this year with pink, and I don’t blame them. It has been a long time since pink has been so popular. 💕💕 I’ve just added a few touches go my sunroom. In front of my fireplace I have my wooden bird and a pink chair that I borrowed from my daughter. On the chair is a pretty pink pillow I just love it. 🌺🌺 The pink …
The wisteria is such a delicate flower. It is so soft looking with its little petals cascading down to make a beautiful long cone-like flower. The wispy foliage makes a statement as it sways in the wind. I’ve used a lot of silver in this grouping from the mercury vase filled with faux white tulips to the mercury catch pot that has a fern in it. Oh and don’t forget the silver candle off to …
These white blossoms just scream spring. I tucked some blue easter grass into the mouth of the vase and tied a blue bow around it. The two wooden bunnies are watching over their egg. In the center of the buffet, the glass vase holds some purple Easter grass that compliments the lilac eggs. The feathers add some texture. The stained glass plate combines many shades of purple, silver, and blue brings together the vase with …
As I do love purple and I like to add it in where ever possible. In this Tuscan vase I have tulips and pussywillows. The basket also has some pussywillows poking through and some white feathers. The lilac eggs in the basket are sitting on a bed of matching grass which is also sticking out of the Tuscan vase. There is some grass and feathers around the candle holders. Here on the chair the fur …
I just love this orchid. It’s vibrant color makes you want to get close to see if it is real. I am using it for the backdrop of this cute basket. I placed a little pot of tulips inside of it. Next, I added a little bunny. Then I placed a wooden egg that I painted with the paint from my living room wall and added some polka dots. Finally, I tied a blue ribbon …
Now to get the whole picture, this vase is 25″ tall and 14″ wide. So it is quite large. This is vintage Pottery Barn, and I do love using it for numerous occasions. It’s one of those things that they say you can dress up or dress down. Usually I have branches in it. Come back for Easter and see. But today I only have a rose draped on it,. Because this makes a statement on …
Nothing says I love you quite like roses. These pink roses are showing off because they know they are pretty. The delicate baby’s breath just enhances their beauty. I placed them in a a small pitcher and then tied a bow on the handle with pink and white gingham ribbon. Rose petals lay on the table where they have fallen. A heart-shaped picture frame and ornament add some additional interest. The items sit on a …
