Wednesday MEME Inside and Out

Vintage roses painted on trays and canvas. Roses on fabric, cards, and magazines. Pink ones, peach and yellow petals, and red red roses. They do touch something deep in my soul. Each one of these photos are full of delicious details, I do hope you click to enlarge for the full effect.

We are still getting some much needed rain but
the weekend is promising to be beautiful.
Time to get out and blow off the falling leaves
and fluff the pillows.

Thank you all for showering me with
warm BD wishes and making me
feel special.

I hope each one of you have a
special moment today that
touches your soul.

Rock Walls

Kathleen of Faded Charm provides a venue for
those with a love for white, be it old or new
but with just the right faded charm.

RockCandy dreams of rocks.
Walls made from rocks.

Huge heavy timbers and field stone adorn a place
for those dreams to come true.

Copper pots against a rough rock wall and
the smell of homemade bread fills the air.

And the dream continues as a chill blows
through the trees outside.
I'm snuggled by the fire...

dreaming.


Life has turned into a busy merry-go-round.
And I scream!!!
Slooowww dooowwwnnn so I can get off!

" Teachers who inspire realize
there will always be rocks
in the road ahead of us.
They will be stumbling blocks
or stepping stones;
it all depends on how
we use them."

Hope you gals are taking life easy.

Gold and Silver

Today I have a few photos to share,
of golden glamor and sterling silver.

First a golden warm setting of pottery.
Needs a scattering of autumn leaves and
a few pumpkins don't you think.

And I see on the other end of the room
a velvety golden sofa...
to continue those
after dinner conversations.

~*~*~*~*~


Then I have silver...shiny, cool and sleek.

And to continue those conversations
around old literature...
a silver sofa laden with cushions.

Or maybe a mixture of the two. As in the one above
with the lush golden ottoman or below
which is a bit more formal
silver and gold.

Do you have a favorite?
Are you a golden gal or a silver sister?

Speaking of golden...
Susan's tablescapes are always over the top.
And this week she has consulted
Monsieur Ecureuil.
(you'd be a nut to miss it!)
Not to mention all the other participants of
TABLESCAPE THURSDAY
showcasing their wonders.

I have returned...

...to BLOGLAND down under. Where things are lovely, happy, and as it should be. Got my rose colored glasses back on just in time for PINK SATURDAY. Now is that good timing or what?

(if you don't know what I am talking about,
refer to the last post where the ostrich pulled her head out)

I just love it here. Please sit and look with me awhile.

Knock, knock...Who's there?
Oh it doesn't matter, come on in and tell me what you've been up to.

Just had my princess tub put in. "Really?" you say.
No, not really. But that's what I do here in blogland...dream.

PILLOWS, I do love pillows, don't you?
I was thinking that brown and blue were the perfect pair.
But brown mixed with rosy pink is very rich.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting. You have lifted my spirits. Hope your Saturday is full of dreams and may some of them even come true.

Living happily ever after in...

Dining Alone?...

...or in a room full of friends, I could see myself
surrounded by these warm rich colors.

Still enjoying my vintage Victoria magazines~~
these come from October 1992 issue.

'Rekindling The Glow of Another Day'
shows just a little peek into the world
of collector Alan Thompson.
It reads...the only item in short supply is space.

My kind of decorating ;-)

We could gather and help Spencer celebrate,
as she puts it, the last of her 50's birthdays.
Skip on over and be a dear
and share a little BD cheer!
Bellamere Cottage

Anyone else want to join the July BD list?

Anyone want to see more tablescapes?

Thank you all for stopping by,
wish I could hug each and every
one of you sweeties!
