HOME... is where the story begins...

Collect things you love,

that are authentic to you,

and your house

becomes your story.

-Erin Flett 

Goodness... it's already the second month

of another year & that fast it's February 17th!

Everyday means a closer step

toward spring, a renewal time of year!

And... here at the farm, it brings on a change

of things about the home!  I love trading 

places & spaces with some of my favorite 

pieces around the house!

The focus EVERY year is simplicity...

that means cleared counter space;

less furniture & NO rugs/throw rugs,

JUST texture tile & smooth hardwood!

Oh, by the way... these ADORABLE 

grouping of VINTAGE creamers are up 

for offer over at the...

Beehind Thyme MarketPlace

(THIS grouping of IRONSTONE has been SOLD)

Then there's ironstone...
there could NEVER be enough said,
IRONSTONE can create that warm, SIMPLE
feeling inside ANY home!

If you're like me... you have several
different collections & there's more times
than not... a story is carried with them OR the
reason for becoming a collector of
one particular piece!

I say with EACH season...
there comes this nesting mood to
CREATE a homey feeling... BUT, not
at the expense of a cluttered look,
SO choose those collections carefully!
(This grouping of GOODS has been SOLD)

If you're like me... you have several

different collections & it's okay

to mix & match!  I like to 

keep a warm, solid tone flowing...

as ABOVE, mixing in some 

white milk glass along side the 

ironstone... gives it dimension,

as the white patina from the 

VINTAGE concrete does as well!

AND... the nesting of SPRING 

isn't complete without adding a touch

of herbs, whether it be dried OR fresh!

It's all about creating 

that HOME;

your home; my home; 

her home; his home; their home!

Don't miss the SMALL things

that speaks YOUR story!

SPRING IS COMING... 

October has ARRIVED...

"Come, little leaves," said the

wind one day.

"Come over the meadows with me

and play;

Put on your dresses of red and

gold

For summer is gone and the days

grow cold."

Poet: George Cooper

Let's put our hands together... the month
of October is HERE, YIPPPEEE!

For MANY it's a time of nesting,
a time for harvest & a time for CHANGE!

With October... brings SWEET
samplings of pumpkins, gourds... squash &
EVERYTHING straw-filled OR tucked!

I absolutely love the FRESHNESS of
straw OR hay (sage color stage)!
Lol... while in Texas this previous spring,
I was gifted some of the MOST
grandest, sage color hay to use along
the beaten down trails of shoppers & pickers, alike!
 Wellllll... wet area's OR not... I was sure to
be salvaging some of this fine material...
to nestle into ironstone,
concrete planters, barrels & other finds!

Annnd... don't think I didn't...
feverishly go about the place, after
2+ weeks of show... & scoop up
EVERY, dry shred that remained about
my booth area!  I STILL today...
use that MAGNIFICENT... little,
 sage color hay as if it were strands of gold!

LOL... with ALL that being said...
JUST make sure you have a bag
set aside for those simple, decorating touches!

Of course, NO matter the season...
October OR July... ironstone ALWAYS
steals the show... with ALL the well-worn
character it offers... from the crazing
to the dark, mishap chips, it's ALL desirable!

THIS little bowl... & it's FINE filler
of straw, PLUS... '3' hand-painted eggs
are up for offer over at the MarketPlace!

It's a OOAK... filled with TRUE simpleness!

And of ALL the colors among
the varieties of pumpkins... WHITE
wins over the soul... here you'll see...
where I've replica
the WHITE Lumina variety!

A NEW design for the '2015'
autumn season!

The gardener's take heart to these
ADORABLE, little shelf sitters!
Their ease of being tucked into a pot OR
other plant container spells the
attraction!

ALSO, a NEW design for '2015'!

Hoping THIS month of October...
brings YOU... the warmth of what
speaks to YOUR heart!

BLESSED evening...
