I, too like to "shop around my house" bringing much loved items together to create vignettes with a special personalized touch.

And speaking of...Hi Maria, Are you a January baby? And speaking of those beautiful carnations on the coffee table, I am trying to expand your photo so I can see the intriguing books you have just given us a glimpse of along the edges! I love to paw through books on my friends' coffee tables! And how many of the "100 best" have you read? Any list (of books or otherwise) will captivate me and I can't help perusing one to check off my "accomplishments" hahaha. My husband says things like that give me a false sense of accomplishment. And hello fellow celebrator of all things George!! I knew we were friends the first time I read your blog and the evidence continues. I am currently collecting Martha and George flow blue but I don't know where I'm going to put it. Maria, so much to see and talk about here--you could do ten posts from this wonderful one! No, your mantle is not cheesy but remember that some cheese has been called an aphrodisiac, so perhaps appropriate for a Valentine vignette. :) :) LindaLinda (More Fun Less Laundry)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14460063428965240523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025137845602567170.post-34759883685370468582015-02-03T08:12:15.256-06:002015-02-03T08:12:15.256-06:00Your mantel is as deliberate as your tablescapes. ...Your mantel is as deliberate as your tablescapes. Beautiful! I tend to decorate with "oh, I forgot I had that ... hummm, that would look good here ... perhaps with this ... and ... When it's finished, I'd like to think it looks good together, though I can assuredly say I've probably never took into consideration any of the presidents while doing it. <br /><br />Love those love birds.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236806773789677957noreply@blogger.com
