I’m dreaming of a white Christmas… Living in southeast coastal Virginia, we rarely see white, snow covered trees in December. But I think I’ll be just as happy with these pearly white Capiz Shell Christmas Trees instead! Decorators and homemakers alike are fascinated with capiz shells, and I’m no exception! I can’t get enough of these little iridescent, pearly, translucent wafers from the sea! I was able to purchase around 250, three inch, non-drilled capiz shells, and a few capiz strands ...

Fall Foliage on the River
Do you find the speed of your life accelerating this time of year? I do. It’s starting to become a blur. Holiday shopping, cooking, cleaning, sports, working, never ending lists of to-do’s, all seem to accumulate and overwhelm us. My family was in much need of some down time.

No, I’m ... Read More about Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie
Ceiling Medallion Wall Art
I’m mad about medallions lately! Ceiling medallions don’t have to be reserved just for lighting anymore. Have you ever considered using ceiling medallions for wall art? When placed on a wall they are essentially an ornate round frame that can showcase any object or picture you desire. Ceiling medallions come in plain white and are very lightweight. You can simply spray paint them like I did recently for my Pottery Barn knock off chandelier in my dining room. Look at some unconventional ... Read More about Ceiling Medallion Wall Art
Thanksgiving Centerpiece
This year our Thanksgiving Centerpiece will combine beautiful fall flowers with artichokes and purple onions. Using edible items like fruits and vegetables are perfect for table decorations. The combination is especially appropriate during Thanksgiving, emphasizing the theme of celebrating the bounty of the harvest and giving thanks for the provisions we’ve been blessed with. As much as I love tall arrangements, seeing my family and guests across the table is more important to me! So instead ... Read More about Thanksgiving Centerpiece
