Vignettes Are Good For My Soul

I have been doing alot of soul searching lately so my blog has not been my top priority.
Our life has been in the process of changing the past few months.
 I am not sure what God is doing, but I know He is working!
I am waiting patiently and crazy at the same time.
Another change for me and I'm not very good with change.
So what do I do when I have time to myself and hubby is quietly upstairs working?
I drag out lots of stuff and start decorating! I love it!
I find myself in my happy place!
I change whatever I want to redo.......Sometimes I change it for just a few days.........
Sometimes I love it and it stays for a long, long time.
Do you have a happy place?
Do you change with just the seasons or any time the spirit moves you?

I change any time I feel the need! Today I will show you my mantle and my kitchen vignette.
Nothing big or outrageous! Just a little different.
I love candlesticks and thought of putting a lot of different candles on my mantle.
I own quite a few crystal candlesticks.
Well, I did that and didn't have enough colored candles. It looked to plain and no color.
Sooooooooooooooo
The roses in our yard have been really pretty. I decided to do something with them.

I have saved a few fancy bottles from flavored vinegar and oil.
Here's how it turned out!
A little simple for me but sometimes that's a good thing!

I am sure I will change it when the roses die or add to it.
I do that sometimes!
I look at something for a long time and start to add to it. Fluff it! lol

Moving on to the kitchen.......
This is my favorite spot to decorate.

A pretty lavender teapot with a pretty handkerchief on a cakeplate. A Thrift Store find.
Really everything in my house is from Goodwill, a Thrift Store, Consignment Store or a Flea Market  of some kind.
The lamp & crystal candlesticks are too!
I'm getting older that I can't remember exactly where each piece was bought. lol

A cute story: I made twelve of the bundt banana muffins a few days ago. I had shared a four with neighbors and put the rest in plates on the counter. I had two on this plate too.
Before I could take the picture........ Notice only one is left. Mr. Sweetladyelaine ate the other one!

I tried a black and white photo for the candle! It turned out pretty good
Don't you think? I guess there is a first time for everything.

The way I look at it,  any day above ground is a good one!
Come back soon, I'll be here with bells on my toes, or in my ears!

Blessings My Friend,
