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

Add Romance to your home

Hi Everyone

 Happy Friday

♥

Valentine's day is only a week away

 here are
a few simple tips
to help you add a little romance to your home

One of the easiest ways to add romance is with flowers

{Love}
 to buy flowers that we can have inside the house for a few weeks
 and then transfer to outside

 ♥

The Second tip
 turn off the lights
 and light some candles

When was the last time you had dinner by candlelight

Try to buy candles with a great fragrance
so it not only adds a pretty romantic glow
it smells great too

Tip number 3
 frame a few pictures of just the two of you
and place them around the house
It is fun to reminisce when the pictures were taken and what you were doing together
Our kid's {Love} looking at these pictures
of Mom and Dad

Tip number 4
place hearts all
around the house

Tip number 5
write each other a

 {Love}letter

or {Love} letters

no store bought cards

When I was a flight attendant my Handsome Husband

 and I wrote {love} letters to each other

I can remember being

 in a hotel alone on Valentines day and reading the {love} letter he wrote me

 I cherish them

♥

Tip number 6

 watch a romantic movie together

this is the movie The Proposal it always makes me laugh

Romantic Vintage style

Hi Everyone 

Happy Thursday

♥

Do you 

{Love}

 the style of your home
Recently I was asked
what the style of our home is...
The first thing that popped into my head was
" romantic vintage"

Style is personal
 that is what makes
{at least for me}
looking at other peoples homes so much fun

Do you feel the same way 

{Love}

 to see where someone places flowers 

in their home

 and what they use for the vase
What furniture they like and even the color of the walls

You all know that most of the flowers in our home

 are placed in......

a Vintage White Ironstone pitcher

Even in this peaceful corner of our bedroom
on a pretty vintage white wicker table

 {Love}
