  1. I just want to say I’m all new to weblog and truly loved this web-site. Probably I’m want to bookmark your blog . You absolutely have great posts. Thank you for sharing with us your web page.

  2. Putting those three photos into that interesting basket really draws the eye to them. Very creative. I really like your coffee mug display. A simple pleasure is picking out which coffee mug I'll use each morning. Thanks for these soothing, lovely photos.

  3. I think Marie Kondo would approve. Every item you own should give you pleasure. There is no point otherwise. It is even better when something useful also is beautiful.

  4. I always felt sad when I went to the Salvation Army and saw piles of old family photos that were donated …I often wondered about the people in those photos not having any family members who cared to keep them ..That's when I decided to borrow old family photos from my husband and my family and make copies. I collected frames to put them in and made a gallery wall. Most importantly, I put the names of who was in the photo. I figured one day when we were gone, the family who was left would know who they were and their connection, rather than seeing old photos and not care about them.

  5. Your quilt is beautiful, Brenda, a piece of art.

    I've fallen in love with blue and white again, just lost my heart to it. And I too take home old black and white snapshots. I love to make up a story about some of them. I collected Christmas ones for many years and always put them out in a dish in December and notice that the kids and grandkids would pick them up and look through them. That doesn't happen with digital photos, does it? Although one of these days I would like to scan my old family photos and have them on one of those frames where they rotate through. A project for a rainy day.

  6. Linda is a sweetie to have sent the matching piece! 🙂 Yes some things can go but others are precious…whether special finds, or gifts, or from family…I treasure some pieces from my grandmother the most 🙂

  7. I love you sharing your special "things" with us, Brenda! The quilts are stunning. So colorful. I have always loved old photos. I have quite a few that are actually my ancestors. After seeing yours displayed I think I should display some of mine. Now what do I have to dig through to get to them! Too much stuff but I LOVE a lot of it!

  8. You have a lovely blog! I love blue and white also; at one time I furnished my bedroom using only those colors. Your pitchers remind me of my mom's gravy boats; I'll have to make a post one day featuring those treasures. I've also had the 'declutter' phase in my lifetime. But, then all of a sudden I've at the stage where I need to do it again. 🙂

  9. My dad called the photos – long forgotten in the antique store – "instant family". I love looking at the faces in old photos.

  10. I love blue and white decor, and if those lovely cups were mine I'd never let them go either. It was very nice of Linda to send you the platter. Your quilt is amazing. So pretty. I've been doing a lot of decluttering lately, with the goal of keeping only those decor items I really love. Looks like you've already arrived at that place. Enjoy the weekend.

  11. Glad I'm not the only one who likes old pictures…I call them "instant ancestors". As soon as I click "publish", I'm going to put coffee beans in one of the old Ball jars and add a candle. Your quilts are so lovely. Have a good weekend…back to cold and snow here…

  12. Brenda your quilts are gorgeous and a work of the heart for sure. Love the blue and white assortment of cups and saucers. Linda is the sweetest to send you the platter to match. I am thinking of doing blue and white in my next cottage. Love the color combo. Happy Weekend.

  13. Thank you for your kind words, Brenda…how nice of you! I love all of your special goodies…it's what makes your house a home…and your very special place!
    Beautiful quilts and collections!

  14. You're so right, Brenda. I've gotten rid of so many things, but some are just dear to my heart,and I've hung onto them for that reason alone. Your blue and white cups are so pretty and now you've got a platter to match. Linda is one of the most thoughtful women in blog land and I'm sure you'll cherish the platter she sent to you.
