A basket of kindling, firewood, and rolled newspapers sits at our hearth.
My newest, and current favorite, artwork adorns the wall above my sofa. The shadow box is yet to be completed (waiting for a picture of hubby when he was a baby to join mine.)
Glass apothocary jars, a painting by hubby's aunt, and a framed monogram I made myself sit upon our mantel. On either side of the mirror hanging above are oil lamps that I found at Hannafords grocery store for 10 dollars. Sometimes the best things in life are not free... but pretty darn close.
A small assortment of dessert plates serves as decor - and functionable if I need them - in my dining room.
I love this pitcher. It's color, patina, and shape are all part of what makes me smile every time I see it sitting on my kitchen counter.
Open shelving in my kitchen. Finally completed with the top shelf and all my Fiestaware and polka-dot glasses in the right place. Sigh.
Another 10 dollar find that tickles my fancy. This hanging lamp lights up my childrens' play room. Where there was no overhead lighting before, there is now an Ikea Melodi lamp.
This blue bird and his companions decorate the opposite end of my mantel.
A table of favorites: A favorite picture of my daughter taken on the beach in Florida at sunset, a favorite lamp (one of a pair found at my place of worship - Target - for $6.97 on clearance...no joke), and a stack of favorite magazines.
Window muntins and vintage crocheted shade pulls.
And finally, some funky throw pillows that don't necessarily match everything, but they make me smile - and are stuffed with down feathers to boot.
Hope you have enjoyed a little glance into my home and hope you had a wonderful holiday season surrounded by loved ones and - of course - your "shiny objects".

This is my first visit! I noticed you are starting a new business, so I wanted to congratulate you! I did the same thing myself awhile back! I enjoyed your shiny happy things!
Best in 2008!

Hi, thanks for sharing a sneak peak into your lovely home! I especially love your beautiful blue pitcher.
The open shelving and the colorful dishes are delicious!
I really really love that basket of firewood you have! I've always longed for a fireplace and have always said I would have this very thing.. if I only had a fireplace.
