Random Beauty


Happy weekend my Blogging Friends! Today I am sharing some of the things in our home that make me smile... isn't that what Life is all about?




I love the soft pink roses on my Biscuit jar...  





I have never found more silver dog knife rests to go with the two I have but I am sure there are some on EBAY so I will have to get looking for more.
  



The white tulips I was given for Easter are still in all of their glory... I added three copper pennies to the water this weekend and they perked right up again.


This transferware bowl was given to me from a dear friend quite a few years ago and it simply marked "Lake". I have seen it in Antique shops for over $75.00 the past few years so I am thinking it must be fairly old.























My hope is that you all have a wonderful weekend filed with Love & Laughter... 


Hugs,
Wanda

  7. Your jar with the pink roses is beautiful, and your white tulips are staying very pretty. I've never heard of putting pennies in the water before. I love the hanging silver ornament. Yes, these are the little things that make us happy. Your pictures are lovely today.

  9. I'm so glad someone told me about the pennies for tulips! Amazing isn't it? I find rose china irresistible too! Yours is so pretty. It earns its keep just sitting there.

  10. Hi, just popped over from jacqueline's place. I'm new to blogging but have found that if there is someone you like...you usually like the same as the others who comment...if that makes sense? I am thinking, seeing all these lovely blogs, that I really must get out my old tablecloths and china...it's been a long time! thanks for sharing yours. Joan
