altered silver.......

even thought I altered these photos, I still like it......I don't normally try to alter the photos - I like them in the raw........
like this beeswax candle perched on top, and spared tomatoes from the garden.......
it resides upon my kitchen island.......
I do have quite a collection of silver - but just do not have a place to put it all on display- so I bring out a few pieces here and there to enjoy them........



I do live a distance from her, but my mother in law has such a charming home....
like something you would find at an old English Countryside Estate
her home really should be a stone home!
~her neutral palette I admire~

she also has a wonderful eye for decorating:




it's so classic and warm........(as is she)
and I'm so glad she is enjoying the soft green dupioni silk drapes that I made, that didn't fit in my home any longer............they look so great in her living room..........
(you should see her collections.....they are just beautiful)
~hope you are all enjoying this day~

  2. Your candelabra is so beautiful. I have a similar one. I like how you are displaying the 'organic'. I wish I had more silver, I've never been much of a collector of anything.

    The pictures of your MIL's house do remind me of an old estate. I love her style and the drapes you made are beautiful.

    You have a nice day, too, Anne Marie! :-)

  6. I too have had such a beautiful chandelier! I paint them and pass them on. I like things moving in and out of the house. That one, in particular, is quite spectacular!
