He is Risen

Dear friends:


I love Easter, love the Sunday dinner with friends,
its the beginning of Spring, and for us Christians
remembering all about the journey of Jesus at the Cross.


Well, I found some great table settings, unique, and
in trend.  I just got some Crate and Barrel huge turquoise plates, I'm planning to plan my table setting
around this color, of course, I have a mix of silver plate vintage forks, and knives, linen vintage
napkins, a German white tablecloth, mason jars for
drinks, and of course flowers, flowers, flowers.


I promise I will take lots of pictures, so far I have the plates and tablecloth only.


here is a little inspiration, this table is beautiful!!  courtesy of Centsational Girl, she has great taste and like me loves lots of flowers and plates.


 


These table is full of details I love the napkin, so creative.

love the table and chairs, so elegant!!!!

More ideas and inspiration are coming, if you send me your table setting and
decorations, I will post it for everyone to admire, please send me a picture.

Love to you all,

Martha

 

Globes and maps, the latest trend

Hello Friends:


Sorry, we have beach weather around here, so
what do Bostonians do when the gray days go away, and the hot sun comes our way, we head outdoors.
Its crazy around here, we are all outdoors enjoying the hot sun  (80's) and enjoy it some more.


The trend is maps and globes, I have several maps and globes that were my mom, I treasure them.


Inspiration:


 






Now, go out, get some vintage globes, add a few books,
some flowers, camera, voila!!!! an instant vignette.

Have a great Friday,

Martha

FUN SPRING DECORATING

Hello Friends:


Happy Sunday:


Here in the beautiful NE we have a beautiful sunny day and warm temperatures.
This is the beginning of nice weather for nesting, hunt
for vintage finds, antiques, yard and estate sales galore, its so much fun.


We are all excited about the Annie Sloan visit to Boston, we will learn a lot.


I'm working on my favorite craft:  Antique book pages wreaths, garlands, roses, lamps, and more.
I love to work with old books and decoupage, and such, I find this very relaxing, and today I needed a
calm kind of day, do you have days like this??? I'm sure you do, I'm a very sensistive person, and yesterday, I had a very upsetting day, do you have days like this?  where you try so hard to please but
nothing works right, well, yesterday I had an unfortunately incident, I'm sure you had them, so today is craft city in my place.  Thanks to my friends in blogland for their help I'm making this, I will take
photos later when I'm done.  I just wanted to write on my diary and my blog.

My inspiration comes from the sweet nester, her home and taste is
my kind of decorating, love her house.

 



 

Love her sister's party decorations,










 


Congratulations to this amazing author, check out the book, its great,

Martha
