PRE HOLIDAY MANTLE...

Too early to decorate for the holiday's, Jan refers to it as a transitional time..

We cleared her summer arrangement of vellum books and replaced them with

rich red antique Books for the fall and Thanksgiving.

The summer look..

Red books for some rich red punch.

Then she added some magnolia from the yard and some miniature pears and walnuts.

The Master has struck again!

FRIDAY FLOWERS

This is an arrangement I saw at HEDGE

I absolutely love everything about it!

It is going to be my new "go to" birthday and hostess gift.

"SPOOKY" FRIDAY FLOWERS

We are having a halloween party and Henry has been wondering why

we can’t be more "spooky"..

Here is our ‘ode to a "spooky" halloween centerpiece.

ANTIQUE PEDESTAL

We just found these amazing antique pedestals.

They make such a great centerpieces

and look at the cheese spread!

We only have a few, all a little different.

Haven't gotten them on the website yet...soon.

TIMELESS BEAUTY

With the lack of magazines these days I find myself going into my archives

and pulling out ones I have saved from years past.

I came across this spread from a 2004 House & Garden.

I was amazed at how timeless it is. This could

easily grace the pages of Elle Decor today.

I looove this bedroom!!

It is hard to tell, but these architectural prints are just taped to the wall.

looks great!

FRIDAY FLOWERS

Stunning!

Happy Friday.
