Around the House

I decided this week to do some work in the living room. We get a lot of sun through windows and skylights.


This tall glass vase I got at Anthropologie, though it looks to me like something from Murano, the small glass-making island near Venice that TD and I have visited. My mother gave me the mahogany mirror, I think it's from my great grandmother.


We found this little clay vase in a thrift store in Connecticut. It's modeled by hand and shaped into flowers.

The flower petals are painted different colors. Very Bloomsbury, no?

It was marked $8 and when I got up to the register the woman said, "It's 50% off."

And here's Miss Thing.

That first shot is amazing -- I love how the blue of the computer screen echoes the blue throw on the back of the sofa. I want to embroider it!

Lisa, I had not noticed that blue bit - good eye. You are welcome to embroider!
