nordic:: white:: ironstone

 When, I heard that Nordic and white was the theme of Gatherings Magazines Winter 2013 issue my mind took me in so many directions. Being a lover of white and pale palettes myself, the journey of finding whites in my home was a instant match. Here are some of my images that didn't make the cut in the "White" issue. I'm once again pleased to announce that I'm a Contributor in this issue among other talented artists, photographers and bloggers. I can't wait to show you the finished issue it's beyond beautiful! Do you love whites? I confess.. I do too. Have an amazing week!

neutral finds::

      Pairing up some neutral finds from this past weekend: ironstone, a vintage egg cup and bits of lace. I couldn't resist the fresh garlic bulbs from the farmer's market too.
    Does your summer palate of finds look like this? Or does it have hints of color throughout? The highlight of this past weekend was a visit to an estate sale overlooking the Hudson river. I could move right in this one bedroom summer cottage with wooden beams and leaded glass windows. Kept in the family for over 100 years.. now, it's history and keepsakes are up for sale. I passed up on a few things like vintage wicker, chairs, pottery, books, tools and bric-a- brac.. you know the typical stuff. oh, how I wanted the original hoosier cabinet from the kitchen-NFS
    I'm hoping to go back to the estate soon to capture some snap shots of this vintage beauty for you before it goes on the market for sale. To be continued...
   By the way, have a great week! Liz

neutrals around the home::

 If you ask me what color best describes my style it would have to be neutral. It blends, mixes and matches with almost anything. It's the color of ironstone, eggs, wicker, linens, lace, soap, music sheets and some vintage McCoy pieces. It's not fussy but, sure is functional. It's soothing and practical in all aspects of decor. Neutrals in and around my home.. just a glimpse of some I adore and use every day. What's your favorite color around your home? I bet it's               
I'm having a cup of coffee and planning my day. Rain, rain go away. Have a great weekend everyone! Liz
