Natural palette..

 

I love the light natural feeling of this space.  All that white makes it seem so light and airy.

I hope you are looking forward to a wonderful weekend!

Vintage bottles on your table

This is such a wonderful way to keep the flowers small and intimate on the table.  Using the vintage bottles is so much fun!

Setting the table.. a short series of posts.. Obsess much

So I am a little obsessed with Ceramics and dishes in general. They make me weak in the knees! I love the shapes of handmade pieces more than anything! So this morning I woke up early (cat meowing in my ear) and started thinking about dishes- I know weird huh! Well I had been thinking, you see my daughter who is in Kindergarten made this little pumpkin by hand, and why could I not do the same, I mean with dishes. So I am thinking of taking a ceramics class to see if I like it. I would love to hear if anyone has taken one and what they think of it??

Here are a few of my absolute favorite ceramics to dream about...

I was never formally trained in table setting even though I did it every night for dinner. Just in case you need to know here are the proper ways to set the table according to Emily Post..

Mud Studio Handmade Ceramics

One of my favorite things of all time next to glassware is Ceramics and dishes. I am sure that I will never get enough of them. I love handmade pieces that show the beautiful imperfections of human touch. Mud Studio is no exception. Mud makes their beautiful pieces each by hand in South Africa. I have a few special pieces that I picked up in Anthropologie but I would love to add to my collection!!

They make more than I could have ever imagined!! Just amazing pieces perfect for any home casual or formal.

The chandelier is made of handmade clay balls - just beautiful!

Amazing back splash for the sink!

Take a break outside or in!

This is one of my favorite pieces! It is just the perfect size for next to your favorite chair... The Margot garden stool (I use it as a little table- but it makes a great little extra seat) is perfect to hold your reading materials and a cup of coffee or tea. Give it a try- we have 2 sizes in each color.

Another beautiful thing about it is that you can have it inside or out! It stands up to the weather and is still gorgeous!
