Lighting Things up a Bit

Our 30 year old dining light fixture was showing it's age so this week, with a little lots of help, my husband installed a new chandelier. It only took 2 years for us to decide on one we liked! It came wth silver lined black shades as well as the white silk.

After:


We hung the new one much lower, according to instructions on the internet. Now it just takes some getting used to!

I am loving your new chandelier Millie! We, make that I, need to replace our 20 year old white ceiling fan light over the dining table too and I am looking for just that style of fixture. Could you share with me where you purchased it? I do need to know if it is bright as I read the newspaper at the dining table and do other things there that require light. We do have a dimmer switch on it now for low/romantic lighting. Thanks so much. I think it looks great and the idea of hanging it lower is what they say to do and would take some getting used to. Enjoy the day! Pamela

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
