Mosaic Monday Dec 21, 2009



Just a few photos of Christmas decor around my house, in time for Mosaic Monday at Mary's. I love this time of year when lovely seasonal images are published.
One of the photos in the mosaic is this holly in a wall vase, which I have mounted on the bathroom mirror wall. I have had the vase for a couple years but didn't use it until now...until I discovered Command hooks...it worked wonderfully! Now I have used them to hang ornaments from windows, an angel from another mirror, etc., etc. ! ( No, I am not advertising for them!)

Another picture from the mosaic is an ornament hung on our dining room window (also with a Command hook). I just tied a little bow at the top..the ornament is quite flat so it fits nicely on the window.

Have a great Christmas week, everyone!

Great mosaic and great idea to mount the vase to the mirror! I have that same "Bless our Home" plate. It was the header for my blog for a long time, and people kept asking where they could find one. I don't think they make it anymore. Yes, you did see a bow on my faucet in my kitchen, you very observant lady! I had taken it off of something and was standing around looking for a place to put it. Since everything else already had a bow on it, I tied it on my faucet! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. laurie

Hi Millie...

Beautiful mosaic, my friend! Girl, I just adore your beautiful wall vases with the holly...they're gorgeous!!! Ohh..you have so many Christmas pretties! I was admiring your Lenox "Winter Greetings" dishes! I recently bought 4 of the chickadee salad plates...got a really good deal on them. Now I'm hoping to add to the set! Really enjoyed seeing all of your pretty Christmas dishes in the mosaic!

I have been hearing so much about the command hooks...I'm going to have to get a couple and give them a try! They must be really good if you were able to hang the vases with them!

I just had to go back and take a look at your last few posts. My friend, all of your Christmas decor is simply gorgeous...you have a beautiful home! Thank you so much for sharing it and all of your Christmas pretties with us!!!

Just in case I don't get back by before Christmas...I wanted to send you and your family my warmest wishes and blessings for a wonderful Christmas!!!

Beautiful photos, Millie! I love your tea pot, it's so festive looking. I have never heard of those hooks, I could probably use them myself. Your home looks so lovely and ready for "the most wonderful time of the year!" Merry Christmas, my friend! Hugs, Cindy S.

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
