Simple Enough #37

We've had a busy few weeks, crowned with a phenomenal NOVEMBER Market - thank you!  We loved seeing each of you, and appreciated the interest of each of you right here~

 So, as we move on - loving the junking, decorating (and hanging more light strings!!), it feels good to share some 'calm' today~

 Guess you can tell where I'm at - recapping and planning.

 I hope you take time for some calm in the coming Thanksgiving and holiday season~

We'll have 'busy' to share right here, too.  ~TERESA

Simple Enough #36: naturals~

In the Atelier today, vintage slip ruffles, doilies, lace and fabric scraps have been folded and wrapped into blossoms.   It's all about the details~ 

 Textiles stacked in vintage cases

Their colors are subtle,

 ...and go well with parchment and burlap~

Large canvas bag, with webbed belting and rope

 Signs on burlap~

 We have a huge floor basket of vintage neckties - quite a jumble of color they are.  Well, pull out like colors, eh voila - pleasant to my eye~

 Grays are among my 'naturals', too.

 And, chippy plaster on frames~

 I've always loved the soft gold in old swing-arm curtain rods

 Painter's cloth now dresses this ottoman

 Natural bristles on old brushes~

And, always - the excitement of everything yet to find - for me - AND for you!  We're filling up, anticipating our JUNE Market.  There's a full Sunday load in the van this morning, and more to show you soon!  ~TERESA

Wonderful~

 Pink stocks.  Oh, so wonderful~

 Their fragrance is unbelievable: heady and pure~

 They arrived with a tiny flash card en francais - flip the card over, translation: 'wonderful'

 Long-lasting, too.

 How can they be so beautiful and smell so good?  Pink is my favorite color of the moment~

Wishing a wonderful Mother's Day to you and yours~  TERESA

Simple Enough #34~ simply blue

What is it about blue? Does it speak to you as it does to me?
Vibrant or soft, I stop and notice. Is it especially great this time of year?

Lavender blues with pinks - a feel good print as we dream of Spring~

Blue glass shows off the fresh forsythia well, don't you think?

That old enameled blue - ooh~

And who doesn't love those old blue canning jars?

Soft blue linen pillow....

....or navy ticking stripes - so classic.

Grayish blue paint on a chest

And on a weathered-finish clock

Chippy is good, too!

"All the blues of the world"
As a child, I remember liking the blue on these standard globes. Isn't it interesting how those things come back to you? Time to get some blues around the apartment - sounds like fun. ~TERESA

Simple Enough Things #34
