"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." ~Albert Einstein There are so many things about life that are mysterious to me! So many things to learn and discover. We are constantly growing up. I learn something new about myself everyday! Something about the things I like, about the way I approach situations, about my feelings, thoughts, and those of everyone around me. We are all so mysterious, and so beautiful. To take a very small example from my life at the moment - My sister is getting married and I am having the WORST time trying to figure out what to give her! You would think I would know her taste having lived with her for the last twenty odd years, but I am learning new things everyday. When people walk into the antique store looking for something to add to their collections I am almost always surprised by what they collect. One lady I remember had nearly a thousand teacups, another collected salt and pepper shakers, one gentleman had an enormous collection of antique and vintage eyewash cups, and our store once purchased a collection of saucers from a lady who owned 18,000. They covered every wall, door, and cupboard in her home! Collections are important and exciting. When I was growing up I collected dolls (among other things). I only have one of those dolls today - the very first I was ever given. Her name is Cecelia Sue. My Mum's collections have greatly influenced my own evolving style over the years. Her treasures have become as precious to me as they are to her, perhaps mostly because they are hers, and they represent a part of her that I love very much. I have taken some pictures of small collections of things in my home for you to see and maybe you will tell me a little about what you love to collect! Also included is a brand new picture I drew recently. Enjoy! I am linking up with: Show and Tell Friday Feathered Nest Friday Pink Saturday Drawing by Jennelise

With Valentine's Day just a few weeks away I thought I would add another post to this month's Vintage Hearts In Time For Valentine's Day post, in celebration of love. Lace is romantic and when used correctly can make your interiors have a romantic and feminine appeal. Unless you are going for a Gypsy or Boho look, just remember restraint is called for if you want romantic interiors. Anything overdone in lace loses the romance because men are honestly turned off by too much frou frou. Bedrooms and window treatments are great places to experiment with a bit of lace. Give your interiors just a hint and your Valentine will find you soft, feminine, and desirable and you WILL get the desired result!! google.com google.com Just enough to be pretty! queenbee1924.tumblr.com Subtle romantic touches of laces like this go a long way in the romance department. myfrontporch.tumblr... Stacks of lacy lovelies like this sitting on a trunk at the end of your bed gives a feminine look to your room. Or try them tied up with a satin bow. pinterest.com source4interiors.com A touch of lace at the windows......subtle and elegant! fleaingfrance.tumblr.com I never get tired of looking at this picture. These lace panels are gorgeous! warrengrovegarden.blogspot.com Just enough lace to be sensual. blessedwildapplegir... This is a bit over the top but is pretty in a Gypsy Chic sort of way. I suspect that the picture doesn't do this room justice. The lights distort the true color of the wallpaper and lace which looks like they would actually be more creamy than yellow. theoldpaintedcottag... stylemepretty.com Lace tablecloths can go either way for me. If it is a pretty lace like this then I give it a big thumbs up. But some laces just look cheap. So be selective!! flickr.com google.com google.com John Stefanidis The walls in this bedroom are fabulous. The exposed ceiling is rustic enough to balance the wallpaper. A touch of lace on the bed should be all you need. classy-and-style.tumblr.com tumblr officiallyprettythings.blogspot.com bohemianwornest.tumblr.com You don't have to decorate in the Boho style to appreciate this lovely lace panel. This could be used in any decor. theartroomplant.blo... google.com These are very pretty laces and they look beautiful when draping a bedroom window. thespanishdahlia.ty... ralphlauren.com Sometimes lacy pillows are enough to give a room a romantic atmosphere. google.com inspirationlane.tum... eglantyne.shop-pro.... This collection of lace pin cushions is a nice display for a tabletop in your bedroom. cyndylou3.tumblr.com I love these lace candles. No man could resist a few of these strategically placed around. gracedwithlace.com Consider a pretty lace with silver threads to cover your Valentine table. cato134.tumblr.com Again the wallpaper gives you the feeling of being wrapped in lace. The black lace at the bottom of the bed completes the sensual look. Alexa Hampton design google.com kessasuee.wordpress.com farmhousewares.com Just a touch of lace and French milled soap adds femininity to any bath. google.com So pretty at a doorway! rockettstgeorge.co.... This looks like an iron grill of some kind. Beautiful! karapaslaydesigns.b... A great do it yourself project. Use spray adhesive to attach the lace and then gently paint or sponge paint over it in a soft pretty neutral color.Finish it with a matte or gloss (your preference) sealer. guardian.co.uk I selected this picture mostly for the lacy lighting. However, the lace box at the foot of the bed would be fun to make in different sizes. curioussofa.blogspo... jenneliserose.blogs... I love collections of lace and linens on display. To me they are prettier stacked or displayed in a beautiful armoire than scattered all over the house. It makes more of a statement. blog.weddingpaperdivas.com A fun craft project. Karen Azevedo This coverlet isn't lace but has the look of it. So pretty! yahoo.com gracedwithlace.com Pretty lace tipped towels will make your bath have a soft, vintage feel. This is something you can do yourself Just be sure and select a good lace that has body and dimension like what you see here. Flat lace will look....well, flat. rosedune.tumblr.com Your Valentine's Day gift can also benefit from a bit of lace. rosedune.tumblr.com lapetitemandarine.tumblr.com Click here to see the previous post! http://eyefordesignlfd.blogspot.com/2013/01/decorating-gypsy-chic-style.html This blog post was published by Lisa Farmer

I år strikket jeg kun 1 julegave, denne puten her. Jeg trodde ikke jeg skulle få tid til å strikke noen gaver i år, men da jeg måtte til USA i forbindelse med jobb måtte jeg ha et enkelt strikkeprosjekt som kunne 1) hjelpe meg å slå ihjel timene på flyet og 2) risikere og bli fratatt strikkepinnene i tollen uten at det ble noen katastrofe. Jeg har alltid hatt lyst å strikke en pute, så valg av prosjekt var jo veldig enkelt. Lett å strikke, lett å like. Jeg måtte bare finne en oppskrift, og inspirasjon til puten fant jeg via Mias Landliv. Puten er strikket i Hegre av Dalegarn, på pinnenr 5. Jeg la opp 160 masker på rundpinne slik at den kunne passe ei 40*40 pute, og strikket flettene på hver 10 runde. Enkelt og greit, og utrolig fint! Denne puten ble svigermors. Neste pute blir nok heller ikke min, men en gang skal også en sånn pute få plass i min sofa. Gleder meg til det!

Cómo va el comienzo de semana chic@s??, espero que mejor que yo, pues he estado un poco malita, pero como ya me estoy recuperando, me he puesto manos a la obra para seleccionar algunas fotos sobre decoración, en este caso sobre habitaciones, pues después de restaurar un mueble tocador en la tienda de mi amiga Regina del blog Farfala, ya estoy deseando amueblar el resto, y por eso voy cogiendo ideas de aquí y allá para posibles telas, mesitas, lámparas, en fin, todo lo que se necesita para poner a punto una habitación que en este caso será la de invitados. La verdad que ahora todo gira alrededor del tocador, pues el color que elegí para pintarlo fue rosita y dorado en los bordes, no tengo fotos para mostrároslo pues aún le faltan algunos retoques, pero en cuanto esté terminado os enseñaré las fotos para que comprobéis por vosotras mismas el cambio que ha pegado. Así que las que queráis transformar algún mueble que tenéis antiguo, ya sabéis, Farfala en Oviedo es la mejor opción, Regi os asesorará en todo el proceso y os ayudará a darle el toque que necesite cada pieza. Yo ya me he farfalizado, y tú?? Pues hasta aquí las imágenes que he recopilado, espero que os hayan gustado, y que os hayan servido de inspiración como a mí si estáis pensando en decorar alguna habitación. Muchos besos.
