Ruby glass and handmade candy boxes.

I love this robot and have him on display in my curio.

Tissue hearts. A couple of dabs of glue stick holds it to the glass.The adhesive wipes right off.

I the past Three issues of MSL I have had one of the items used in props. These glasses were on the January 2012 issue on the cover.

Ruby glass looks blood red against the sun drenched front room.

More tissue hearts.

In the Dining room.

Another item from a prop. The December 2011 issue had this plastic feather ice tree. In storage in the decorating room.

They have been up for about 2 weeks and still are bright. I feared the sun would bleach them...

Christmas 2011 decorations

Gilded nuts and gold candles that mimic tree branches and logs.
A trio of glittered gold snowflake wreaths with Chocolate colored satin.

Another batch artfully arranged.

Tinsel trees add shimmer.

Room Pics..

I love this pewter wall plaque. And another small Cosmo arrangement.

These candles are so cool.
They are from the 80s and a little Dungeons and Dragons fairy like but look right at home with a touch of whimsy.

I love these hand carved hares.
One is the top of an antique walking cane the other a bottle opener.

Another much larger candle.
Apparently when you light these eventually the wax streams from the mans eyes.

Summer Bed.

Line Dried linens. Thin Chenille Bedspreads.
A 100 times washed Matelasse coverlet that is smooth as silk.
