Simply beautiful

I found some interesting and beautiful neutrals around town and in my house

Stars are shinning brightly

 The Stars were aligning when I walked into the shop and saw this display of Victorian yummiest pieces. Oh yes these came home with me

 I love this desk area

This couldn't come home with me but I am in love

 This sweet dress waits for you in my etsy shop

The patience it takes to do needle work is amazing. The stitches reflect moments of thought and motion

My lace collection is comforting and gives me thoughts of days gone by

 

I hope you join me at simply neutrals

Sounds of Life

 The sounds of dance, tapping a child's steps as they learn to create 

 Hands of exploration learning about butterfly's, the sound of joy as they tell us about their day

 Flowers of fall reflect the sounds of the garden, the rain fall, crickets and laughter of children playing outside. 

 The soft welcoming color of this gate echoes the sounds of guests and family that pass thru.

 A collection of statues of liberty, reflecting 

freedom, heritage and thankfulness 

I hope your week is filled with wonder and joy. Di

Soft colors of the mountains

The soft colors of fall crept in this weekend at my sister's house. I decided to snap a few pictures of found items we both had.   Beautiful boots from one of the great aunts. The softness of the vintage leather and the laces make my heart litter patter. 

 A riding helmet of soft velvet...yum. 

And the muted grays from a world War 1 picture, not only speaks to my senses but to my patriotic heart. 

The lounger we are working on was the perfect place for me to place my items. Of course the muted shades of the background was perfect. The fog was rolling off the mountains. 

Of course, that's why they call them the "Smokies", said my hubby.

Once I assembled everything, I moved them one by one until my eye captured the look I wanted. 

I added my finishing touches of vintage banners and was very pleased to capture a by gone era. 

I hope your muted colors bring sweet memories of joy to your Heart, Di

Closet Dreaming

Closet Dreams

Closets, dream closets, yes I know I just moved into a new house. But really, a girl can dream. I wanted a walk in closet and I did get one. It is small and I didn't get the built ins I wanted. But now I can plan for hubby to build for me. So, I took a little dream trip. 

Of course, I have to start with our girl Carrie. The dream closet of my dreams.

 My hubby would love this closet.

Of course, a beautiful light in my closet would be wonderful

The shoes are a dream. Arranged by color and type. Be still my heart. 

Of course, this closet would be my choice.   All white, calm and leading to a beautiful bathroom. My closet is not as large but I am loving it. A place for purses, hats and art!

I have my scarves ready at the front and clothes in sections. Where is hubby's?

Oh here they are!

What I love the most is its right in the beautiful bedroom.

I may not have the biggest closet but a girl can dream. Hope you week is great. What are your closet dreams. Di
