I'm fickle...

when it comes to decorating that is.




A couple of weeks ago I did a post called 

Yep, I actually thought I could make it to 
Valentine's Day
with the 
tweaked
look I had for Christmas...




I should have known
that wasn't going to work.
Last week I needed a change.
I thought about buying some new fabric for a tablerunner.
but in the end I just dug around in my stash
and found this wonderful 
washed out linen floral.



and the basket full of poinsettias...?
buh bye.

Back to hydrangeas.





That meant the adorable little vintage tablecloth with hearts
would have to go, too.

(moss covered letter "O", courtesy my sis)


burlap to the rescue.

and of course
the church pew 
got a needlepoint floral pillow
to "compliment" the new tablerunner.











table top vignettes were given the
switcheroo



and my three pitchers










replaced a silver set.
but I won't tell you where that is...
cause it's still floating around
just like that little Chippendale shelf.

The Girls asked to have their pictures taken.
you'll notice this one's trying out the new runner...



While this one is sitting on the marble pastry block.
...by candlelight

can you see that Miss Wrigley
is smiling for the camera?

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

The Vintage Suitcase

This last week I headed over to one of my favorite shops here in town. You can always count on Robin to have the most gorgeous displays and beautiful decor items. Each time I'm there I come home with some great inspiration, not to mention wanting to buy out the store. Here is just a little eye candy for you to enjoy. Remember all you have to do is click on the image for it to enlarge, then click again to get all the "details".

The color of this mantel is original blue and just stunning.











Love the doggy pillows.





This is a huge and elaborate French mirror.





























These next few photos are from the "Garden District". 
This room is covered ceiling to floor with old windows.
I'ts like you're in an old greenhouse.




This antique paper umbrella is HUGE!!!



And yes, this reproduction seed box now lives at my house.
I had to have it!



Hard to tell, but this is a moss covered mirror.












The  fabric on the settee and chair slipcovers is Louis Vuitton...
so fun!











Robin has an endless supply of antique silver pieces





Chinese cabinet



Gorgeous jewelry and some chunky cuff bracelets.


If you're local, make plans to visit the
 wonderful tea room at the shop,
The Vintage Veranda.



Have a great weekend, everyone!
