Easy As 1-2-3

Collections pop up all around me, I am perpetual collector, after all...and I have a collection of glass bottles. I think because everything seems to come in plastic bottles these days, I hoard glass. Like I'm some kind of glass ambassador, I know I'm weird unique.

These particular ones are a nice shape, sorta like medicine bottles, but not really. But kinda.

So I decided to do something fun with them using vinyl stickers. I love any kind of typography, so I was excited! This is a simple idea and one that has been done before, but the thing is: I finally did it, which offers such a sense of accomplishment, even in this teeny tiny project. You know what I mean?

I simply eye-balled the stickers...1-2-3

Super easy!

(Purchased from Wal-mart, hardware dept.)
How fun is this!

Just loverly!

I see a whole slew of vinyl sticker projects coming on! :)

Thanks for stopping in! I hope you're inspired!

White Bottles

Sometimes collections start and I'm not even aware of it...are you like that too? I recently started looking around and noticed that a bottle collection has emerged.....

..........maybe I should name them:)

Leafy Tablescape

Thursdays are fun aren't they? Tablescape Thursday that is!

This event is hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.

Be sure to visit her and all the other tablescapers!

This week I'm using my everyday dinnerware and featuring a couple of purchases that I made during my day trip to Nell Hill's in Kansas City.

It looked like it was going to rain all day today, so I stayed indoors, but I think this would look great outside!

Here's the Stuff...

My dinnerware might be from the Dollar Tree but I purchased it because it looked so similar to a set I liked at Pottery Barn.

The white dinnerware originally from IKEA, I found at the GW

The leaf plates are one of the purchases at Nell Hill's...I think they are so pretty...two was all I could squeeze into the budget...:)

The salt cellars are a recent purchase at Macy's

I bought these iced tea glasses at Nell Hill's too...Pretty!!

The linens I'm using are from Target.

Let's set the table!!

I'm using my sea grass chargers that are proving themselves very useful...love the texture!

The top bowl is perfect for cereal and ice cream, the next one I love for pasta

For a simple centerpiece, I'm using two bottles with orchids and kiwi vine, little modern white planters with maiden hair fern and of course candles

I used vintage paper around inexpensive votives...love the look.

I love this serving piece. It was Justin's Nana's

As you can see, I use my eat in kitchen as a dining room! It's pretty small here at my house! My time for a large house will come...when I'm rich and famous. :)

Where's my wide angle lens!?!



It's probably with my big house...






Thank you for visiting! I hope you like looking at the pictures as much as I love taking them!

Thank you Susan for hosting!
