Green Hydrangeas - White Room

We get to enjoy chartruese hydrangeas flowers twice.

When they first form before they bloom white

and then again when they dry.

I love this color with white.

These old soup tureens hold everything

except soup at our country farmhouse.

They make the best vases.

I love the lacy flower petals in abundance

 that look like French pantaloons.

Outside there are other white and green combinations.

Our westie dog got on the hay bale for about 2 seconds

 then jumped down to the shade.

Smart dog.  

Happy 4th of July!

Whether you are inside or out...

Keep cool!

Seashells Treasure Box - Vegetable Plants

My counter looks like a potting table.

A look I like very much.

The amaryllis was replaced with hyacinths.

This handmade sea shell treasure box

turns into a pot of sorts holding lettuce.

One of my new favorite sedums,

a beautiful chartruese color and

has the tiniest leaves!

It's called the

Small Leaf Gold Sedum.

I love shells.

Maybe you have a keepsake box

that you could put some life into.

You've probably guessed this

was from a thrift shop.

Two dollars and fifty cents,

but it looks like a million to me

cradling these baby letuce plants.

One of my tiniest bird nests

rests here, too.

How many more baby plants
can I put here?

Sweet scent of hyacinths

perfumes the air.

We will wonder what happens when

the weather goes back to normal

March weather?

I'm off to wander around
and find more plant pot holders!

Two Beautiful Blogs

I have found two beautiful white decorating blogs that I want to share with you. Det Vita's blog is full of wonderful whites and lovely photography.

Also visit Tina's blog at Me and My Shed. Isn't this picture fabulous of her conservatory that she calls her "shed?" If only I had a shed this gorgeous. After visiting these blogs you won't be singing the blues...you'll be singing the dazzling whites!

I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays! Won't be long til school starts again unless we get lots of snow.

Romantic Home Dishes-Norway

It's wonderful to discover places to find romantic dishes from Norway and Sweden. Thanks to a darling blog by Emmeline I found these treasures. Be sure to visit her blog.




These are for sale online by Boligfryd.

Against their white dining rooms and white kitchens these are like eye candy. Roses and polka dots .

Flowers and lace. Wouldn't these fit nicely into a farmhouse kitchen? Yes.

Romantic White Interiors

Yesterday I struck gold as I drove to the airport and back. It's the only time we pass these wonderful shabby antique stores at Lucketts, Virgina. On the weekends it's a traffic jam with people from the city driving out to gather up car loads of goodies. This was my first time inside the shop since the time I stopped before it was closed. Once you walk inside of the Beekeepers Shop you will never forget it. It's a wonderful all-white world.


Look at the floor, it's so chippy white and fits in perfect. I mean my mouth might have been open in wonder the whole time. I sometimes think all white might be too bland, but not so here!





She has the most darling things. Look at these sparkly crowns!

Another great decorating tip they use is to place smaller tables on top of larger tables for more display area. Great idea if you have a booth at any festival or even in your studio.
