Add a little loveliness...
Finding simple ways to add a little more loveliness to my world is like a great big hug from the Universe. I came across these wonderful ideas and thought I'd share.
If you have a great old mirror but no use for it, glue felt to the back and use it as a tray. Perfect for a bit of glamour on a dressing table or nightstand. Or, store your sugar in a glass canister and use a pretty tea cup for the scoop. Beauty and function all in one - love it. I am totally on a quest now to get some of those glass canisters. Old colored bottles displayed in front of a window offer a stained-glass effect at a fraction of the price. And if you're in the mood for a subtle change, swap out your candles with a different color, such as pink - my favorite.
After all, paying attention to the little things adds up to a beauty-filled life...
Stop by this weekend for a chance to enter my sweet, sweet giveaway. More details to come. :)

ooh, I love these!
ReplyDeleteI want to do the colored glass bottles in my kitchen, but I don't have the right kind of window ledge to support it :-( I've been trying to think of a different way they could be displayed....love that teacup idea! I bet you could find some of the glass jars at antique shops or goodwill!
I am trying my best to find pink candles but haven't so far, sweets. I may have to go online to find some. Exquisite settings but especially the teacup inside the canister of sugar or flour is lovely.

Oh! I love the idea of the glass jar with the blue and white teacup scoop! How pretty is that!
ReplyDeleteGuess what...your pincushion was mailed on Monday! :-) I hope you like it in person as much as you did in our etsy shop. :-) Thank you so much for ordering it.
Hugs, Diane
Yay, Diane! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI really love the teacup idea. I recently bought a whole bunch of glass canisters and put all of my baking products into them. So much prettier and more organized! (much easier to grab a handful of chocolate chips too! ;p
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that I could get into those pink candles! I never thought about using them before but ... you've got me thinking. ;D

Very good suggestions and I could use some changes. I just do not have the energy at this point, so I live a comfortable life as it is. You have some very nice showings in your home,
ReplyDeleteGood ideas!
ReplyDeleteThe nights are getting dark again here. I bought a small lantern for my balcony today and it really... kept me company, somehow, this dark and rainy evening.
I love adding a little loveliness to my home! Thanks for all your well wishes for my new shop. xx
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! Love the old bottles too!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

ReplyDeletethe mirror tray thing I have done, but the simple using a tea cup as a scoop thing I have not...and certainly will do the first chance I get! What an adorable way to use a lonely tea cup who has lost it's saucy mate!
