Pretty in White

Do you ever just have the blahs?  I've been so lazy for the last couple weeks. No energy to do anything!!  Today I finally did some cleaning, but as far as having any creative energy, well that's just not happening right now.  On that note, I was looking through some of my photos and decided to get a post together from photos with a common theme.  So, hope you enjoy these "white" vignettes.



This makes me wish for Spring.




Birds, bird cages, green plants




Tea time.


I'm really going to try to get back in the swing of creating.  Hope you are feeling creative and not stuck with the winter blahs like me.

  1. These are great pictures! You made some really pretty vignettes, something I really admire in people. I struggle with them. The bright colors make me happy and whites make me feel peaceful. This weather would make anyone feel blah...so much gloom!

  2. I'm definitely not feeling creative - must be the gray days.

    Will you please do me a favor and when this comment goes to your email, let me know if you get a NO Reply Comment@ blogger.com. I'm having trouble with my emails and don't know exactly where the issue is. Thanks!

  4. Yes, I have been experiencing my worst ever case of the January blues! Hopefully things are going to improve as temps here in New England are going up to the 40s and even 50s tomorrow for one day!! I just love the face on the cherub in your first photo. That is exactly how I feel!! Linda

  8. Oh, I understand about no energy. I get tired out pretty quick any way. I'll be you'll be up and running soon. Now if I could just get out of my chair! ;) I love all your pretty snaps and you always put together lovely vignettes.
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

  9. I enjoyed seeing these lovely vignettes and especially liked the one with the white cross and pitcher. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my Winter Living Room. You had asked about the wall colour. It is called Toffee Cream by Beautytone which is a line that Home Hardware (Canadian) carries. Its funny you asked about it as we've had that colour for about 8 years and I'm ready for a change!

  10. I thankfully have my daughter's wedding coming which has made me kick into gear or I fear the winter blahs would overwhelm me- as they do in the cold dark days of -20 temps. We have a little sun but too cold to go out, so I will find something to do and by the time the wedding gets here...it will be close to Spring!!

  11. Yes! It's been SO hard to get motivated lately! Which is another reason I have fallen behind on reading blog posts, so....
    I really like the art hanging over your master bed at the lake house. It is gorgeous!
    And your roosters look great.
    The vignettes in this post are lovely. My favorite is the last one...the colors are perfect.

  12. No Winter blahs here. it's my favorite time of year. Well, we don't really get much weather that seems Wintery, but it was quite cool this morning and that makes me want to be outside and get things done.

    As for your Winter blahs, I think everyone needs a break to do something different for a while now and then. Hope you get your creative side moving again soon, but enjoy the little break in the meantime!

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. ...

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 ...
