Round 1 of Christmas decorating was doing up my mantle.  I love Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine and their books, but my taste runs a bit more fancy.  What's a girl to do?  Well, I am a firm believer that if you love different things, somehow you will make them work together.  I combined my new mercury glass candle pedestal and votive holders from Pottery Barn with my antique mercury...

Its that time of year again! This year the makeup was defined by a wide wash of bronze in the crease and light, yellowy soft gold defining the lower lash line framed with long and wispy lashes. All finished with a pop of berry color on the lips and of course, lots of bronzer. :)Products Used:MAC Painterly Paint PotMAC So Ceylon Mineralized SkinfinishMAC eye shadow in VapourMAC eye shadow in CorkNARS...

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Now, without further ado, we move on to thinking of Christmas.  Well, if you are in retail, you have been thinking of Christmas for a long time already, but you know what I mean!Anyway, I love little birds in nests.  I think I got that from my mother because she did too.  So, I decided to make some pretty little glittered bird ornaments...

As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, I just wanted to wish you all a happy one filled with warm hugs from loved ones, warm food, and a warm and grateful heart.  I know for me personally, it is so easy to get caught up in all that isn't perfect in my life and I know I shouldn't do that because I have so very much to be grateful for.  Gratitude...in the face of a less than stellar economy,...

Just some pretty fallish roses that were on my dining room table ...I had them in a gorgeous antique purple transferware pitcher.  The color of the roses played off the purple transferware for a really beautiful effect.  I forgot to take a picture of the entire thing though before the roses mostly kicked the bucket...DUH! What kind of blogger AM I???And the view out one of my bedroom windows...

Got busy this week but didn't want to miss out on one of my favorite events, White Wednesday.  SO, I  thought I'd share a totally random photo I took a while back of one of the many re-inventions of my living room mantle.  I just love playing with it.  I love the layered mirrors and the sparkly crystals and I hope you do too.  Pop on over to Faded Charm to visit all of the...

Antique Half Doll Hanky Holder and Powder PatterPowder patters, that is.  I realized it has been a very long time since I shared one of my collections with you.  This is a subset of my rather large 1920's French ribbonwork collection.  During the 1920's and into the 30's, homemakers loved to make things in their home pretty (some things never change, do they?).  As was very fashionable...

Happy Friday, Blogger Friends!Now that I am back  blogging again, I figured I needed to add more vintage wallpaper to my vintage wallpaper page.  I meant to do it several months ago, I just hadn't "gotten around to it".  Like so many things in my life...SIGH!  Anyway, I added 4 more beautiful 1940's patterns which are available by the yard (quantities are limited, of course). ...
