"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."

I might need a bunny. I wonder what Belle would think of that?
- Great idea for an inexpensive but super stylish chalkboard
- Going with the muted tones; love the shades of pale this Verity Hope wrap dress comes in – I can't resist a gentle, on the bias ruffle.
- Poetic Home, new (to me) blog with some great vintagey inspired vignettes.
- Still lusting after a pair of red shoes – I should just buy a pair already…
- I love this simple, organic tablesetting for Thanksgiving. So soothing.
Have a Happy Friday everyone!
Mantel, part XVIII
My mantel has been in flux for a year now. After the holidays last year it just didn't seem to come together, no matter what I threw up there.
When I look at pictures of other people's mantels I like the kind of layered, casual look. Nothing too studied or precise.
But when I try to do that myself another side of me, a VERY symmetrical side, takes over and dictates that the mantel will be perfectly balanced – and further more – there will be none of that hodge-podge, stuff stacked up in front of each other business.
Very bossy, that symmetrical side.
Sigh. What I need is a mirror, like this one (only painted white). That would fill up the space better. And then it wouldn't look so, so….repressed.
Someone snuck a Christmas ornament up there…
Don't tell old bossy boots.
