Pink Halloween Decor

Hi Everyone

 Happy Friday

♥

This morning the garden was abloom with pink

there were pink roses, 

a pink hydrangea

And the first 

pink camellia  of the season
decided to make an appearance too
Wish you could smell the roses they are amazingly fragrant

So our little cottage is going

Shabby chic Pink

for Halloween this year

 The freshly cut flowers looked so pretty 

sitting in a vintage cutting basket
{a gift from a friend}

The one and only tiny white pumpkin 

that was sitting on the mantel in our dining room

got nestled in next to the pink flowers

Proof you can decorate with pink for

 Halloween

{Love}
 the way the vintage pink garden trug looks with the little white pumpkin
how is your Halloween decorating coming along

Heirloom Treasures

Hi Everyone

 Happy Saturday

♥

There is something
so  romantic and beautiful about 

vintage furniture
This is one of my favorite found vintage treasures

   Lovingly hand crafted
with attention to every detail
and
made with pride to last forever

 A treasure to pass down from
 generation to generation

 To keep in the family
as a reminder of the past

Beautiful 

heirloom

 treasures

that tell a story of a families history 

Even if you are the one to find a piece of vintage furniture that you adore

you can start your own family heirloom collection 

to pass on to your children 

and their children

Do you have a favorite heirloom treasure

Vintage Shopping Test # 17

 Hi Everyone

 Happy Wednesday

♥

Are you ready for another

 vintage shopping test

Here are two similar metal hangers
One is a vintage metal hanger that was used for display
in a department store in the late 1930's
The other metal hanger is a brand new reproduction

The first  metal hanger is smaller in comparison
 has a rounded bottom
and a metal locker number at the top

The second wire hanger is taller and has a playful shape
almost looks like it is smiling

there is a small square bottom perfect for 

{yes hydrangeas}

they are just too beautiful not to share with you all...

Both metal hangers
 have a multitude of uses
we use them both around our home for storage
 and even to hang clothes on

Do you think you know which one is the vintage metal hanger
 and which one is the reproduction

If you guessed the tall hanger with the smile and square bottom
 you are right

The one on the left is a brand new reproduction
 the one on the right is the vintage treasure
How did you do
 did you spot the real vintage hanger
 or were you fooled by the new reproduction
Leave me a comment I would
{Love}
to know how you did

White Ironstone

Hi Everyone

 Happy Friday

♥

A Vintage creamy white ironstone pitcher

 is the perfect vase for these

 freshly cut pink hydrangeas from our garden

Can you see the detail and luster on this large 

vintage white 

ironstone pitcher

it is one of my favorite vintage treasures 

We cut so many hydrangeas this morning
 that we even put some flowers

in a vintage white ironstone 

casserole dish

{Love}
 the traditional and classic
combination of hydrangeas in

vintage white ironstone

Did you know that hydrangeas
will last much longer if you do not add
 any other type of flower to the vase
 {like the white roses above}
 if you want your cut hydrangeas to last a long time
 keep them separated from other cut flowers

Hydrangeas are  also thirsty flowers 

they require a lot of water 

 be sure and check the water level in the vase often 

especially in the summer to prevent wilting

These beautiful hydrangeas will last almost

 2 weeks by our front door

Pink Hydrangeas and vintage
 white ironstone
a beautiful and classic combination
Don't you just
{Love}

Pink Hydrangeas

Hi Everyone

 Happy Saturday

♥

 This time of year the hydrangeas start to 

show off in our front yard

The colors are so romantic 

soft pale purple and lots of Pink

They remind me so much of the beautiful hydrangeas blooming all

 over one of our favorite vacation spots Martha's Vineyard 

 ♥

They look so beautiful in this 

 vintage white ironstone pitcher 

 a timeless beauty 
Remember cut hydrangeas need to be put in water right away 

Growing hydrangeas is very rewarding

and a true test of faith 

Each year we cut them off almost completely and then  I watch hope and pray that the

leaves will start to return and the flowers will begin to bloom again
{picture me chewing my nails for 3 months}

 Our daughter said she likes this large

 purple and pink stem with its soft combination of colors

Grateful for such simple timeless beauty
