Spring Tablescapes

Posted on Apr 14, 2012 in Home Decorating

Now that all of the Easter decorations are put away, I’ve been searching for ideas on how to keep the beautiful colors of Spring in my home, and do it affordably.

I’ve always loved a pretty table and I’ve managed to collect some nice pieces over the years. I found this great mix and match pattern at Macy’s and I just love it!  Especially the little salt and pepper shakers!Hydranga2

A beautiful table setting is really just an expression of caring and love for those who gather with us.  It not only offers substance for the tummy, but for the soul, as well.

I love playing with dishes and hope to try and recreate some of this amazing tablescapes.

My Life Long Love of Dollhouse Miniatures

Posted on Apr 4, 2012 in Dollhouse Miniatures

My love affair with all things miniature began when I was 10 and spent the summer with my Aunt and Uncle.

The little girl across the street had the most amazing miniature dollhouse. I had never seen unlike it before, and haven’t seen anything like it since. Crafted by her grandfather and completely lit and furnished, we played with it for hours on end.

I’ve always dreamed of having my own miniature dollhouse and a few years ago my husband surprised me with a beautiful Cape-Cod style home for Christmas.

I am still decorating and always looking for inspiration.  These are some of the things I would love to re-recreate in my own way.

Everything about this is room amazing. From the stained glass door, fluffy, knitted throw, hand-embroidered pillows and shabby chic style furnishings.

Victorian bottles on the dressing table, a miniature jar of Vaseline and some soft lighting.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for the amount of work that goes into creating these lovely rooms for all of us to enjoy!

Until next time,
