You might remember when I did the Lacy Table. I’m at it again, but this time I’ve painted vases. They have a delicate, feminine, Shabby Chic look to them. I’m using it as a centerpiece, but it would be perfect in a bedroom too.
I painted them the same way that I did the table, and this time I experimented a bit, too.
I’ve been looking for orange table scatter. I found light orange. I found orange with black table scatter. But I wanted something really orange, and a little glitter wouldn’t hurt either. 🙂
Since I couldn’t find what I was looking for, I did what I usually do. I made my own!
I love the look of glitter. There’s no way around it. The sparkle of glitter will catch my eye every time. I collect it, I organize it, I use it every time I get a chance. (my poor husband) I love what the addition of glitter to an ordinary item does. So this is what I’m up to this time. Glittered Shell Ornaments
I chose to use a celery green theme this time. What inspired the color was the shade of green in the china. I thought about using white, but I was afraid that the china would get lost in the white since it’s such a delicate pattern. I hope you like the way it turned out as much as I do.
I recently did a post about making Steeler Towels for the football season. Since I live in the heart of the Steeler Nation, I made towels in black & used Offray NFL Ribbon. Someone told me that they couldn’t find the ribbon that I used. So, I’m showing an alternative to using the NFL Ribbon, and still make the towels work for the Steeler theme. (or for your favorite football team)
I’ve been going through a lot of things lately. I’m trying to pare down what I have, and reorganizing what I keep. This time, it’s my make-up that I’m reorganizing & purging. Where do you keep your face? Some keep theirs in a make-up bag, some on a tray, and the Beatles said that Eleanor Rigby kept her face in a jar by the door. I keep mine in drawers.
I’ve found that by keeping my make-up separated in different drawers, I seem to get ready a little more easily. But it’s been awhile since I’ve gone through any of it, or bothered to clean out the drawers. Frankly, they were a mess.
