Today I  wanted to share some slight changes to my mantle.I wanted to add a bit of pink to my mantle.And what better way than to do it with roses.I really love the soft color and the ruffled petals.

One  of my favorite ironstone pitchers propped on top of this old chippy corbel.I am in love with silver too.Shiny or tarnished it does not matter.Candle sticks with no candles are still pretty all on there own.

And since I was taking those photos of my mantle I thought I would share some photos of these roses on my new found treasure.A vintage ironstone platter.You can’t see it in the photos by it has a bit of crazing which I adore!That rosary is one of my favorites.Made from roses from my Grandmothers roses after she passed.

I think I like the way this looks on my dining room table.But I think I will keep them on my mantle for now.Hmmm I need to decide what to put on this table.

I am getting more comfortable here at my new home.So glad I made the move.Thank you Kristi Linauer for the smooth transition.

I have been working on some things for my space and my blog along with some projects in my home.I had planned on having a giveaway to celebrate my one year blogiversay and I am still planning on doing that so stay tuned!

    Hi, Anne! At this time of year, having a luscious bouquet of pink roses is just the thing to create a cheerful atmosphere! I can smell them all the way over here! And happy blogaversary (did I spell that right?) to you, too! Don’t you love reflecting back at where you started and where you are now? I think blogging is a great way to mark the changes! So, cheers to you, too, as I raise my glass!!!!

    We are almost the same age. My blog birthday passed unnoticed. I thought it was mid-January, but it turns out it was the 11th. My house has changed a lot since I began blogging because I wanted something to blog about so I kept making improvements.

    I enjoy popping by to see what’s new and fresh at your house.

    Happy Birthday!

    • Anne says

      Yes I guess that can happen when you blog LOL! When I started to blog taking photos and really looking at my house with a different view I was not happy with how it looked.Once I started making changes it just felt right.The way it should be.I was going in the wrong direction.So happy with it now!Happy blogiversary to you too!

    Anne,
    Could you do me a favor and try to respond to my comment. I have been having problems with setting my no reply blogger to off so you can reply to my comments. If you have a minute try to respond to this and I can see if my settings are now working to get replies. Thanks.

    PS… love the photos of your roses.

    Congrats on the year, my how you have grown in just a year. I hope it has been just as fun too. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am glad to have found another blogger that loves white as much as I do. Your new platter is great, they are such wonderful things to have because you can use them almost anywhere.

    Hi Anne. Congratulations on one whole year. I am only a little while out from my first year also. Aren’t you still loving it? Since I haven’t been a follower of yours the whole time, I’m not too familiar with your photography in the beginning, but wow, your pictures are really beautiful now. Looks like you could pick those roses right off the page and the platter is wonderful. . Continued happy blogging..Judy
