Pretty Flowers!

My mother-in-law, MaryEllen, clipped me these pretty flowers from her yard at Lake Anna. She actually gave them to me on Mother's Day. Better late than never to share with everyone!

New Lamp

Three months ago my Mom bought an orange lamp for her newly decorated TV room. I decided I needed one also. When I went to Home Goods to buy the same one, they were none left. Much to my excitement, I found one at T.J Maxx. I put it on my turquoise dresser in my bedroom.

Mother's Day

Jason is brave enough to take the kids to the Manassas Antiques Mall each Mother's Day to let them pick out gifts. I am always amazes at how well they do! This year they got stuck on owls, which is fine by me.

Jackson picked out this brass owl votive burner. I love it!!

Stacking It Up!

For my very few readers, sorry for the lack of posts! I am so busy and overwhelmed with life that I have little time for myself. Blogging is something I enjoy doing during my free time. Well, my free time has been very limited lately.

For those who come to my home, know that it is always in a constant state of rotation, decoratively speaking. I love stacking my accent pieces when creating a vignette. I probably change up my dry sink once a week. My most recent creation looks like this:

I just really like these photos below.

Happy Getaway

We headed down to the lake to visit with GrandMary, Aunt Tara and cousins Rachel, Eli, and Wyatt. It was a great little trip filled with constant commotion. This is another long blog post filled with mainly pictures from our adventures at Lake Anna.

Cottage Garden

Each spring, I dream of creating an English Garden. I have attempted to create one many a times. Unfortunately my house faces due west, so by late July-early August my flowers usually fade. Of course I am going to try again this year. I love the controlled chaos of an English Garden. Maybe it is my fascination with all things English. From Masterpiece Theatre, Kate Winslett's cottage in The Holiday, Pride and Prejudice, and British shelter magazines, I am obsessed. I love to look up castles on the internet. Oh, and lets not forget The Tudors. Maybe I need to just take a trip England! Sometimes I wish I could be like Gwyneth Paltrow, the perfect American transplant.
