Sharing Shadymont's Winter Whites

Today I am sharing some of my winter whites.

White in the dining room.




White in the breakfast nook.

White in the sun room.  See the shadows the sunbeams cast on the table.


This is a new addition to my snowman collection.  I found at Walgreens for $3.99 (after Christmas sale).  Michaels had their medium sized wreaths for $1.49, so I bought three. I added some burlap garland and have a winter scene in the hallway.
The little chalet to the left of the wreath belonged to my Mother.  It's a weather predictor. It was a gift from her only sibling (her sister). If the weather is going to be rainy, the little man on the right comes out of the house.  He carries an umbrella.  If the weather is fair, the little girl comes out on the left side. My Mother passed away 39 years ago, and I remember this from when I was about 15 or 16.  Oddly enough, it is still a pretty good predictor.

My daughter gave me a Kirkland's Gift Card for Christmas.  I paid only $3.99 for this tray, and the candle sticks were $6.99 each.  I love the simplicity of the mantel decor.


I can't omit the little white jelly cupboard with its snowflakes.


A touch of green is always a good thing.

Hope you have enjoyed the first week of the new year.

I am joining in the Saturday Night Special party,

    I came over from Rose's blog. Everything looks so pretty. I love the contrast on your mantel between the dark cranberry and the white of the wood. Very nice decorating!

    beautiful vignettes, I too love the way the sun comes in and shines. Sometimes I can just sit and look at how that sun hits everything in a room. peaceful

    I love white in the winter also. I have that same kind of pane door(s) that are just bare but I love the plant adding a fresh welcome. I need to think about moving my coatrack for something new and fresh.

    Winter white always seems so clean and fresh and such a nice change from the fluff and finery of holiday decorations. I love your white rooster and large snowflakes! :-) Sue

    Love your winter whites, especially the cute little cherub. I also like the cupboard, it is very nice. The winter white things are calming to look at after the glitter and sparkle of Christmas. Please join in the fun at my Your Cozy Home Party on each Tues. If you can. Would love to have you there.---Shannon

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale.   Consignmen

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They can all be seen
