Happy White Wednesday

Happy White Wednesday. I am sharing this beautiful white mirror. My mom gave it to me. She got it out of my grandmother's house several years ago. At that time I was not using the shabby chic cottage look. What was I thinking???? I could not love it more now. The picture and edge of the mirror really shows up much better without a flash.




The candle holder came from my grandmother's barn. The old chippy look is perfect for me.




The edges of the mirror are so pretty.

A Cute Cottage Sign and it is burlap. I love it. I covered a lamp shade in burlap and am not crazy about the way it turned out. I may need to paint the lamp an off white color. It is a work in progress.

I do like the ruffle I made for the bottom of the shade.

An old weathered, chippy window. A little burlap padding behind the window.





A little more interesting than just my clock hanging on the wall.

Silver Condiment Server

I am joining My Romantic Home's Show and Tell Friday. A Silver Condiment Server The design on the silver is so pretty.







It was in perfect condition when I found it. We were out in the junky junk at Canton and there it was. $50.00.I know that sounds like a lot but I have looked at these for a long time and they are usually $100.00 plus. It has all the pieces and no breaks or chips.


This picture does not do this justice, the etching on the glass is beautiful.

Lemon Pound Cake

This is my mother's recipe. It is a great lemon pound cake and is so moist . It is one of my favorites. Nothing better than having fresh eggs for a pound cake, yum.


Fresh eggs produced by one of our chicks.

A Plate Holder

I am linking up with Faded Charm's White Wednesday to share my plate holder, which made out of 2 old shutters. A fun way to display all your plates.
You can find these anywhere, I got this one at Canton for $3.00, they were all beat up and scratched. I spray painted them white and added a little corner piece.







Happy White Wednesday!

A Burlap Pillow

I love my new pillow, after looking at the burlap pillows in the stores and the price of them I decided I would make my own. I love the contrast of the rough burlap and the delicate pearls and lace.

This bench was made from an old bed I found at Goodwill for $15.00 for the head and foot board.

My new pillow. :-))
