Corners of My Aunt's Home, 1



All the pictures in this post are from the bathroom at my aunt's home.
I love how even something as humble as a bathroom has so much beauty in it!
Of course, I share a love for Dutch pictures of mothers and children.
And, tiny bottles? I love those too! The tiny graphic on the 'Cara Nome' bottle is particularly charming, don't you think?



A tea cup Q-tip holder-
Much prettier than that blue cardboard box they come in!
How pretty is that cup?













My aunt is the one who introduced me to Mary Englebriet's 'Home Companion'.
Notice the salt-shaker tassels? Yes. We BOTH make those!

A Corner of My Living Room

As I go about my cleaning today, I'm trying to do a bit of fall decorating. I'm being held back some by the fact that my tub of fall decorations is SOMEWHERE in my attic. Apparently, UNDER tubs of Christmas decorations.

But, I found a few postcards, and added a few silk leaves left over from my cards.

I'm wonderfully happy that orange and rust tones no longer have to fight with pink carpet.

Hooray for progress!

More Shadows

This shadow appeared on my living room wall Sunday night.
I cannot resist a good shadow.
The old leaded glass window adds a bit more charm, I think.
