Pausing to Remember

We have all been busy making our homes look spring-like.  We've pouffed and fluffed, and brought out the pastels, the bunnies, and eggs.  We need to take a moment  to remember why we celebrate Easter.  The Resurrection. The new birth!  I am showing an Easter vignette I created and shared last Easter.




The pencil sketch below was a gift to me from a coworker.  

This picture of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane hung in my Mother's dining room when I was growing up.  I believe it may have been a calendar page.  It's still in the same frame.


He is Risen!!

Happy Easter everyone!

  3. What a talented and thoughtful coworker you have! That pencil drawing is beautiful! It's wonderful that you have created this thought-provoking vignette to remind everyone the proverbial "reason for the season." I hope you and your family enjoy a very peaceful, loving, and blessed Easter weekend. (visiting from Marty's Tabletop Tuesday)

  6. Loved seeing your picture and post title in the midst of those in the linky party at Wow Us Wed. So true that we should "pause and remember" and it was great to see your Last Supper set with the beautiful crosses as well as the meaningful sketches and special framed calendar. Thank you.

  8. Lovely and a great reminder! I have crosses hanging around the house. It would be nice to gather them in a vignette. Happy Easter!

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!

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 ...
