Shop your Home-You might find a surprise
January 27, 2013
Needless to say, between my beloved Mother's collectibles and my own I really shouldn't even be shopping. So this weekend I stayed put and shopped at home. You know I even ended up having a good time!
I moved this house plant from my tea cart to the formal coffee table and brought the two glass bowls from a kitchen cupboard. During Christmas the white urn was a home for the paper whites. (I guess I did shop-I bought another plant!)
Everything on this table has special meaning to me, making me even more satisfied!
These Hydrangeas and ranunculus came from the attic. You know how I advocate saving all of your silk flowers! They can always be dusted off and pruned to revitalize them.
Last but not least are these precious cups and saucers. I brought them out of the cupboard too. These little cups and saucers are P. K. Silesia Porcelain! They are true vintage and made somewhere between 1880 and World II, in a little town which is named Silesia, and located in Northeastern Germany.

When you shop at home you might be surprised at what you find!
Any treasures you have uncovered from shopping your own home?
