White Wednesday at Home

Hi and thanks for coming by for another White Wednesday hosted by Kathleen from Faded Charm
This time of year I get to spend more time at home.......well I still go to the greenhouse everyday but not as long, so I actually get some time to photograph more then plants and bugs....oh that's right I keep the bug pictures to myself...don't want to make you squimish....not yet.....it's not Halloween yet.

A display on the wine barrels where the big urns are. A new clock recently bought at Brimfield. I have metal wings that fell off some birds I received so they ended up here.

Making time fly????

The Pumpkin King or Queen? you decide!........where else to use my crowns. Your probably wondering why this pumpkin is sooo white. It's covered with a white paint with a touch of grey. It just happened to be that shade but I think it looks much better then stark white.

A small grouping of ordinary old bottles which I will do something with them someday but for now I enjoy them on this hutch just plain and simple.

The faux pumpkin that I don't have to worry about eventually get to the mushy stage. I've had luck with some pumpkins. I have one little one that has made it through from last year. It's just luck.

This little area has become the little wedding area in a sense. Not pictures of our wedding day. Gosh no!!!

We have none of those....that's a story for another post!

This plaster bust has been here for awhile but it's made it's rounds all over the house. The alabaster lamp I bought at an auction years ago. Everytime an alabaster lamp would come up I always bid against the same women. I think she was not happy with me.

I won 3 all total at different times. Auctions can be very competitive and dangerous for me though I've never regretted any of my purchases.

The gold liquor decanter set belonged to my parents probably from France.

Remember the wedding headpiece from Rebecca from Vintage Living this is where I placed it. Eventually want to hang it on the wall but I'll have to put it in a shadow box that Mr. M will have to make me.

I really like it here for now and I'm so thrilled with it.

Thank you Rebecca so much !!!!

I guess our house is a bit feminine with the laces, flowers and dolls but he doesn't seem to mind. Could be why he spends a lot of time in the basement.

Well I couldn't end this post without some plants. This is one of my favorite bushes.

Symphoricarpus -albus

or Snowberry

I'd want it just for the name but good thing it's so lovely.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to visit all the other participants of

White Wednesday at Kathleen's Faded Charm

Martha from MJ Ornaments

A few months back I was the lucky winner of a sweet crystal charm from Martha from MJ Ornaments. I was so surprised as I had just won 2 other prizes from her good friend Rosemary and Tracie. Aren't bloggers great? They must have thought wow what's up with this girl??

Isn't she a little piggy winning everything. I'm sure they didn't really think this ......but I did feel a little guilty. I never win anything normally......I've never had that kind of luck.

Anyways with all the things going on and doing White Wednesday and Black and White Sundays I couldn't seem to find the right time to show it to you.

Until now!!!

I've been leaving it displayed at home on an old bottle and wanted to show it to you in the way I get to enjoy everyday even when I'm not wearing it.

This is the back of it made from copies of her great grandmothers journals. Just as pretty as the front.







I took the liberty to show you some of her other charms. She offers a slew of different designs, shapes, seasonal and everyday.

Can you believe how tiny this little fairy is??? so adorable
Not sure if "Magical" fairy dust is included? Doesn't hurt to ask!!!

Right now she's doing a ton of really fun Halloween charms but with Christmas fast approaching she has many Christmas themes too.

Martha has one of the prettiest blogs around with the most exquisite images I've ever seen as you can witness from the pictures above. The detail and magic is there to drool over.
What's also fun about her blog is that she takes you thru some of the best places Southern California has to offer.

Even if you were not into charms (but who doesn't like charms????) you would still be completely enchanted with her and the creativity she shares with everyone.

Thank you Martha
your beautiful inside and out!
