Have You Heard About Linen?
Well have you? Of course you have! I 'm talking about Miss Mustard Seeds milk paint in linen. It is one of my favorite colors in her line. Recently while shopping I found this piece. I know it does not look like much.The color is pretty ugly. But as soon as I saw this piece I thought Miss Mustard Seed paint in Linen! So I grabbed it and off I went. Do you find pieces like that. They speak to you. When you find it you know exactly what you want to do with it. I love how this turned out! It really looks like an authentic old piece! I believe this is a plant stand but I am enjoying it with my cherub garden statue. I added this piece to my family room.In the corner with my old door! You can see what it looked like recently ...

Simple Valentine Heart Wreaths
My daughter was home from school yesterday. She wanted to have a girls day out and shop but the temperature was 6 and the windchill was -14. I am no one turn down a day out shopping, but when it is that cold I don't go out anywhere, not even to shop! Instead we stayed home by the fire and did a little crafting. I wanted to make something for Valentines day. I really don't decorate for that holiday, but thought it would be fun to make a few heart wreaths. Since we were stuck inside, I only used what I already had on hand. I had some scrap muslin, some dizzy frizzy. I found the dizzy frizzy at the thrift shop for .50. I knew when I found the dizzy frizzy that I would figure out a fun craft project to use it for. This craft is so simple, I just took some wire and made heart ... View Post
Country Rose Cottage
As I just shared with you we use linen napkins for everyday use.I thought I would share another of my favorite sets.These are not old but I fell in love with this pattern. I just adore the rose pattern on these napkins. Again we use these every day! And I don't iron who has time for that? One of my favorite mini vintage crazed ironstone pitchers.I do love white ironstone.But I also love finding pieces that are stained ,crazed and cracked showing there true age. Aren't these pretty! I am so happy to hear many of you also enjoy using your pretty things.That is what they are meant for so enjoy them. Today my daughter is off of school.We are sitting by the fire and crafting.I will share with you tomorrow what we are working on today.I will give you a hint.It has ... View Post
Using Pretty Linens Everyday
One of my favorite decorating books is Rachel Ashwell's Treasure hunting and decorating. Even though my taste has changed some since I first read this there are elements of this book that I still love. I remember reading this for the first time many years ago and admiring her sharing that she uses her pretty dishes and napkins everyday. Oh my using pretty linens and dishes every day?Why had I not thought of this!Well ever since reading that I do just that! I use my napkins for our everyday meals. I don't use my pretty dishes everyday.Since they are vintage I was concerned about lead.But I do use them. Do I worry about stains? No I don't. We use these pretty white linen napkins even when we eat pizza. And spaghetti! So much nicer ... View Post
