WINTER BOOT TRAY DECOR

I haven't shown you my kitchen table boot tray centerpiece yet and as we are already February and here in Fishers, Indiana we are having our first real snow fall of the winter (!)  I thought I'd better get this post out there!

I took this picture at dawn the other morning, that poor tree to the left of the photo has a serious case of coffee deprivation!

I love this one! 

Oh and here's a couple of other little vignettes

Thanks for visiting,

Hugs,

ANOTHER SOUP CRATE TABLESCAPE!

Well, my sweet hubby presented me with a lovely bouquet of mixed flowers for Valentine's Day. I divided the bunch up last night into several smaller arrangements so that I could enjoy them all over the house. 

 Two of them ended up in my soup crate on the kitchen table with a rusty (bent!) metal bowl and a little cupid.  ,

 And a woven heart (Goodwill find).

 I hope your Valentine's has brought you many smiles,

Love,
Mandy

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUNKA-CHUNKA

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE! HERE ARE A FEW OF MY CUPIDS TO BRING YOU LOVE, HOPE AND HAPPINESS!!!

My two "Cupids" have been around for ages...they were gold, but I recently painted them white and then stained them until I got the look I achieved. They sit on my dining room sideboard. Cuuuuute!

Love the reflection in the mirror of his buddy!

Another couple of angels hiding out in a corner. Again these were both gold and I painted and stained them, much better! The wooden cake stand with the cloche vignette on top was made by my grandpa.

One of my favorite prints...so sexy....It is called:"  The Meeting On The Turret Stairs"   by Frederick William Burton (1816-1900).

Love yourself and love the ones your with,

Hugs,

Mandy

STILL WINTER HERE....

With temperatures around 15 below zero this morning, I am again reminded that winter is still here in Indiana! So, like the song says:" Thinking n' Hoping n' Praying"   it will warm up soon, I decided to show my kitchen winter tablescape before Spring finally gets here!

I purchased the old Campbell's Soup crate ages ago, and just filled it with a little snowy greenery, a darling snowman and some snowball ornaments and little green fuzzy balls.

 

This picture was taken around 7:30am today.

So was this one.

Then I took this one around 8am.

And this one.

Here is a close up for the runner I purchased from Sonya at Beyond the Screen Door. Doesn't it match my chair pads perfectly?

I am going to try to stay warm today, hope you do too....
Hugs,
Mandy
