Sharing my love of soothing white decor, antique rose gardening, and all things beautiful and sustaining in the Catskills.
"Hearts and flowers, ribbons and lace, the look of love upon her face." ~Unknown Life has been so busy lately that I just haven't had time to do a proper post - the kind where I devote an entire afternoon to setting up and taking photographs. I miss it! So yesterday I MADE time so that I could take some pictures for you that I have been wanting to take for ages! I love ribbons, lace, trims, embroidery, fabric flowers, etc, etc (you probably already knew that!). I have amassed quite a collection now and have been so excited to share it with you. My Mum and I use some of these things to make the GILLYFLOWERS and others are being saved for that future special project. I dip into this supply and replace things all the time. Many of these trims come from France and Japan where some of the most beautiful ribbons I have found are made. My guilty pleasure now is to visit the little ribbon store in town and find something new for my collection. I have tried to display everything well and I hope that you enjoy this little perusal. I have also added a few new things to the Etsy SHOP so stop by and have a peek! Wherever you are I hope you are enjoying this beautiful Summer week!

I mentioned before that I've been reincorporating blues back into the decor here at Heaven's Walk. Simply put.... I missed it. I truly enjoyed having the soft, faded red touches here and there during the past year - it's such a warm, happy color. But the softness and airiness of springtime and bright summer days ahead left me pining for my pale aqua and smokey blues once again. I pulled out my down-filled pillow from a favorite Etsy shop, Sassycat Creations, and placed it in front of my favorite grain sack which I had draped over the back of the chaise in the living room. Be sure to visit Jan at Sassycat Creations on Etsy. Her pillows are beautiful! The grays and pale blues are soft and summery looking. Pale red is still making it's presence known though. You'll find it in the piles of grain sacks on top of the armoire in the living room. Yes...I'll be the first to admit that I have a grain sack addiction. Can you blame me...? I know I'm not alone, though. Am I right Shellagh, Tracey, Maria, and Maria? :) The newly painted and distressed metal French bottle carrier was brought up from the basement and placed on the coffee table. Large, purpley blue hydrangeas were placed in Mason jars. Fragrant peonies blossoms from my garden will soon replace the faux hydrangeas. Oh, and I started up my waterfall in the pond yesterday. Guess who showed up? Nineteen bullfrogs. While Hubby and I had our first happy hour of the season on the back deck last evening, they were all croaking a chorus, happy to be back home again. Ok, back inside.... Hydrangeas also made an appearance in an ironstone sugar bowl in front of the French candelabra on the round wicker table in the corner of the living room. (and that, friends, is what my English instructor used to call a "run-on" sentence. lol!) I love this vignette. This silver candlestick was given to me by my mother. She always used a pair of these on special occasions when we had guests for dinner. One on each side of the holiday centerpiece like they used to do back in the day. I've also been working on some recent ReStore finds. They're close to be completed. Oh, and just so you know, after much deliberation, consideration, and hesitant fingers, I deleted my Pinterest boards today. I know...major bummer. I had been reading too many scary scenerios lately from other bloggers, and just didn't want the burden of "what if..." lurking constantly in the back of my mind. If Pinterest decides to change their policy, I'll start pinning again. But until then, if I see a photo I like, I'm just going to save it to my computer. I'll miss pinning, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Ok, enough of my gabbing. Time for me to get to work! [ Blessings ] Linking to the Linky Parties on the lower right of my sidebar.

...svakheter!!! De er ikke så rent få,jeg innrømmer det gjerne selv! Noen bra...maaaange ikke fullt så bra;) Men vi kan nå vel konsentrere oss om en i gangen,sånn det ikke blir overdoser med galskapen min. Porter.Det er noe med dem.Det finnes så mange skjønne av slaget,og de gir et sånt koslig inntrykk der de befinner seg og pynter opp hus og hage! Jeg får stadig vekk lyst på flere porter,men det er på en måte begrenset hvor mange porter man kan klare å skvise inn i en hage,sånn er jo bare livets harde og brutale virkelighet! Og virkeligheten blir jo nesten bare enda verre når man ser alle fine varianter som finnes.... Denne hvite porten på bildet oppom her er min høyt elskede port! For det går jo an å elske en port,det klarer ihvertfall jeg:) Det ble kjærlighet ved første blikk faktsk da jeg fikk se den i et svensk interiørblad - svenskene er forresten mestere på gamle,fine treporter! Og så er jeg veldig glad i den fordi pappa'n min har lagd den... da blir den enda mer spesiell!I tillegg er den en skjønn inngang til hagen vår( rettere sagt jungelen for tiden) bak! Nå har jeg klart å tenkte ut et par nye porte-plasser her hos oss :) *smiler og er fornøyd med meg selv* På fremsiden av huset har vi egentlig siden vi flyttet hit tenkt å ha en smijernsport...men her en dag fikk jeg øye på denne saken her!Lekker synes jeg.Og funderer på om det hadde vært noe å satse på? Det kjennes litt slik ut;) I tillegg må jeg snart få meg en port på verandaen...og den er det en viss fare for at jeg må snekre sammen selv!Men det klarer jeg vel? Her var det mange idèer å hente...da gjenstår det å skvise det inn i timeplanen da?Jeg kan ikke si annet enn at jeg gleder meg til ungene begynner på skolen på mandag og jeg kan få pjaske litt mer med det JEG vil.For JEG finnes nesten ikke lenger.Det må det bli en slutt på.JEG trenger MEG for å være alt annet jeg også skal være :)) Deriblant snekker ;) images pinterest/google
