Easter photo shoot

Hi Everyone

 Happy Tuesday

♥

This morning the house is filled 

with beauty for a Easter photo shoot
it is so fun to decorate for Easter

 So happy these vintage white ironstone butter pats
are featured
To show you how small they are they were placed

 next to freshly fallen rose petals and freesias

The mantel with a vintage
robins egg blue Easter basket filled with
white freesias and night blooming jasmine from the garden
notice there are no traditional tulips or Lilies

{Love}
the combination of freesias and jasmine
 very delicate and smells amazing

The vintage blue dust broom
looks right at home on the mantel too

A peek at the front door
a simple vintage galvanized watering can
 filled with garden flowers
hanging on the door
 the perfect welcome for family and friends

{Love}
to decorate with vintage especially
at Easter

Wow us Wednesday

Photo Shoot

Hi Everyone

 Happy Thursday

♥

So excited to have
 stylist Sunday Hendrickson and photographer Mark Lohman 

at our home for a photo shoot
this week

This amazingly talented and fun filled duo worked their magic

 transforming our home
 room by room
  making it glow with beauty, style and elegance

It was such a thrill to

watch how they worked in symphony with each other

 finding and sharing the vision for each shot 

and then witnessing their intense and meticulous attention to every tiny detail

From the lemon slices for each glass of pink lemonade

 and the same amount of ice cubes in each glass 

lighting and background 

{and keeping our big boned pug Finley and his toys out of the shot}

Sunday is a magazine field editor, producer and stylist extraordinaire!
 Here she is folding the freshly ironed cloth pink napkins

 and lighting the candles , arranging the beautiful flowers

 Everywhere through out the house
 Mark and Sunday
were artists painting a canvas and our home came to life

Mark checking the set up and lighting of each photo on his computer
Mark recently worked with FiFi Oneil
 on her beautiful soon to be released Romantic Prairie cookbook
please visit his
  website

to see all of his stunning work

Here is a picture of me in the mirrors behind our kitchen stove

we had a major crises the day before the photo shoot 

the mirrors you see here have been behind our stove for at least 7 years 

we were cleaning the small mirror to the left of the pot filler faucet
  somehow it fell behind the million pound stove

 this had never happened before !!!!!

 my heart sunk 

the photo shoot was the next day 

 we were told the kitchen was one of the main areas to be photographed
 and not to change anything

panic set in.... here were the thoughts running through my mind

can two people move the million pound stove out???

can we squeeze a hand behind the less than one inch space behind the stove? 

was the mirror completely broken?

 could we find another vintage mirror the same size by the next day?

What to do....

gratefully handsome husband was able to remove the air vent
without having to move the million pound stove
 and we were able to use a coat hanger to lift up the mirror 

{sigh}

crises averted

Here is a picture of the white tile behind the stove 

so you can see what a difference the mirrors make in our kitchen

So grateful the vintage mirror was still in one piece

 and the photo shoot went off without a hitch

Cant wait to share with all of you
 more photos
Thank You Mark and Sunday

for making this photo shoot so fun and memorable

Photo Shoot

Hi Everyone 

Happy Tuesday

♥

 Mondays are always such busy days

 maybe its because Sunday is so peaceful and when Mondays come we hit the ground running again

This Monday was no different a crazy day filled with
 a  photo shoot 

It seemed as if the entire house was turned  inside out and into a party of pretty!

  A feast for the eyes

 everywhere you looked there were.....

 Vintage treasures  sitting on

 counter tops, floors, tables, ladders,buckets

everything was out to play with

Flowers everywhere as far as the eye could see

So fun to have so many people at the house moving things around 

why is it days like this always seem to go by way too fast
{Love}
 the blush pink roses with the vintage white ironstone pitcher

♥

I was able to take a few shots with my camera too

Learned so much about lighting and  f stop  camera settings and
wide angle lenses

{do I sound like a pro}

I am grateful to be able to share some of the pretty of the day with all of you

I would never have thought to mix gorgeous pink blush roses with 

eucalyptus leaves  

How do you feel about Mondays

"You consume my every thought"
