For Sale~ Lovely Brass Trio




Each item is $35.  Or, buy all three for $95! 

I've never seen pierced brass lights quite like these!  They give off great dewey light.  They're the perfect night lights for a kitchen or bathroom.  I played around with them at my house, and I also like how they look on an entry table.  How would you use them?   I liked them grouped as a trio like the photo above -- if you do, too, I've made a group deal for the set!

For Sale~ Teal Recipe/Photo/Quote Holder

I've received a lot of happy thoughts about this teal color that made its original debut on our first coat rack....  

This recipe holder would look great in any kitchen... if you can't cook, might as well make it look like you can, right??? Or as a picture frame.  Or to remind yourself of a favorite Bible verse or quote.  Would be cute in any room, really!

Side note~ I used my grandmother's pumpkin pie recipe in the pic below because this is one of five things that I am LEGIT good at making.  Booyah.



$10

BTW, you can print your Instagrams (like the one above) at Walgreens now.  Deets here.  Walgreens isn't paying me to tell you this, I just think it's pretty great.  & hey, I'd be OK with it if they did decide to pay me.

For Sale~ Teal Mirror


$36
SOLD


Dimensions~ 19" X 29"

Uses... in the bathroom, above a dresser, in an entryway.  In a dorm, apartment, or home.  Can't go wrong here.

For Sale~ Brass Container




$40

Dimensions~ 15" X 8" X 8"

Got quite a few inquiries about the brass lion planter from a few weeks back.  Now that it has found happy new home, here's the next in line... an awesome brass container with lion's feet with a little blue & white on the holder.  I'd put this to the side of a sofa or chair in the living room to hold magazines or in the bathroom to hold TP or towels.  

I snatched it up & then saw a similar one a few hours later for $85.  EEK!  Happy to keep this guy WAY under that price tag!

PS Garden & Gun, I <3 ya!

For Sale~ Large Brass Tray for Wall Decoration

Like this look?  It could be yours!
http://ideas.thenest.com/decor-tricks/real-couple-home-tours/slideshows/real-couple-home-tour-dania-and-lou.aspx?page=4
On the wall, a different angle to see the intricate detail, and a close up of some of the detail... 


$68
SOLD

Dimensions~ 28" diameter

This makes a great statement on any wall.  I would put this on a large wall above a sofa in the living room (with other pieces around or all on its own) or in a smaller wall space where you want to make a statement.  It has a hook that is soldered into the back of the tray which makes it very durable to hang, but it's fully functional to take off the wall and use as a tray, too.  Would also be neat on a large ottoman to hold remotes, candles, mags, etc.

For Sale~ Flower Frog


$18

Dimensions~  7.5" diameter & 2.5" tall

Etched brass flower frog.  Designed with built-in wiring (that what makes this thing a "frog", btw) to securely hold flowers in place.  Top removes for easy cleaning.  I like this way of arranging flowers because it's EASY and because it sits low on a table.  

BTW, please excuse my dying hydrangeas -- I admitted a couple of posts back that I'm not a cook, and now it's fairly obvious that my green thumb is missing, too.  Pic intended to show you how the frog works.  Ribbit that. 

This would be a great housewarming present or treat to a new mom.  Simply add fresh flowers & you have an instant, thoughtful gift!

For Sale~ Framed UNC Cross-stitch

$28

Dimensions~ 11" X 9"

I would have SO had this in my Granville dorm room, who are we kidding!!  Perfect decoration for a college place, a nostalgic alum, or for a Preppy Baby future tar heel's room!

On Hosting & Some Budget Friendly Ideas


I helped set-up a dinner party for family friends a couple of weeks ago.  My mom & I chose to divide & conquer... she was in charge of food, I took control of party prep & set-up.  You don't want me in charge of that considering my dinner tonight was Double Stuf Oreos.  My mom is a wonderful cook & chose an awesome menu...  I'll try to get some of those recipes up soon because y'all it was delicious.  

Setting up for this dinner party & getting everything ready inspired my hunting & searching with a few new hosting items... will be posting them over the next couple of days.  In the meantime, check out a few of my favorites that you can buy online now for your next dinner party! 


On sale now~ 4 for $22.  You can see these napkins in the photo above.  If you call & order from your local Williams-Sonoma store, they'll waive shipping for you. 





On sale now~ $.95 each (!!).  I didn't use these in the dinner party mentioned above because I chose to do a mix-and-match look instead.  But!  You can't beat that sale price for a napkin ring that will literally look great for any occasion. 



On sale now~ only $32 each.  These chairs are great when you need extra seating... dinner parties, Bible studies, book clubs... stylish & practical.  Sold.

For Sale~ Pair of Vintage Botanical Prints





Selling as a pair for $53

Hand-painted French botanical prints.  They're 11X15 & 12X14.  I like that they are slightly different sizes... makes them not too matchy-matchy. I see these working really well in a bathroom, over a nightstand to add height near a lamp, leaning on a shelf with other items, or in a collection of wall hanging.  I've included some photos for inspiration below....

Great mixing & matching on that top right shelf!

Not digging the bedspread but the floral prints look awesome in that corner!

I love how these prints make a little collection on a wall and bring together the chair & the table.
