Decorating a Library with Antique Books: A Collection of Waverly Novels

Everyone has different tastes.

But if you've been blessed with

a great library room

or awesome set of bookshelves,

you're going to need to do

something with them.

This is quite a pop of color.

Truly an artist lives here.

Someone who enjoys the facts

collected these antique encyclopedias.

Or, they just liked how they look all together!

Here's what to do if you enjoy

having doo dads instead of books!

I tend to lean toward

 the lighter

side of things.

Let the books be

the objects of art.

Look at this grand display!

 

 

 

Here is my newest collection

of books, Waverly Novels,

 available in my

Bella Rosa shop, here.

 

 Beautiful designs, all of the

wonderful classic titles.

 

A set of 25 for a well

designed, antique library.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm heading into "the study"

to lose myself in a world

of reading.... enjoy the day!

Pinkarella! It's Spring Time Appeal for Pastel Colored LuRay Dinnerware

Spring!

My heart leaps with joy at the

thought of this season.

And my vintage LuRay Pastels collection

makes a great display for Easter.

Just like the colors

of the candy coated eggs!

 

 

Back in the day, the company
Taylor Smith and Taylor. debuted

LuRay as a great alternative to the

popular and very brightly

colored FIESTA ware.

 

Soft pastels like Persian Cream, Sharon Pink,
Surf Green, and Windsor Blue sparkle

like the colors in the LuRay Caverns in Virginia.

Did you know that is how this set got it's name?

Over the years I have collected

quite a few different pieces.

Some I use...

And some I don't!

 And some I buy just to

"Go Along"

And why not?

My vintage LuRay

Always makes me smile,

whatever the occasion!

My little sweet pea thinks I am
like "Pinkarella" because
I like pink so much.

Springing Ahead to Summer at the Lake

It is pretty much spring

and I'm already thinking

about summer and the lake house.

 

Thinking about sitting out

on this cozy deck with

a lemonade, a book

and my camera.

 

I like to be ready to

take a photo of whatever

is happening.

 

There is ALWAYS something.

Remember last year when

we turned the kitchen from

dark to light and crisp?

 

And my hard working hubby

took my direction to chop the

knotty pine in half?

 

I felt SO guilty about it.

 

I'm over it now!

 

Love our nautical look.

I need to finish up in the kid's room.

We are going to attempt bunk beds.

Key word is ATTEMPT.

The attic walls make

it difficult...bunk beds take 
up much space.

 

Of course I will keep

taking pictures and

give updates!

 

 

I also look forward to cruising

along the lake...

 My favorite time is right after dinner...

 And of course going to my favorite

thrift shop in the woods to find little

vintage pieces like these!

It won't be long now!

Spring Has Sprung! New Arrivals: Easter Paperie, Vintage Trim, Silver Ware and Super Cheep Mystery Sale!

Spring is here!

I heard the birdies chirping.

The sunlight is brighter.

 

Miss Jillian is happier!

 

So to celebrate I am showing off

my latest finds.

 

Having your own website is

a lot of work. A lot.

But, I get to be a "picker"

a collector, and a matchmaker

all at the same time.

 

 

Here is just a sampling of

what I listed last night.

 

My spring collection, uh, I

mean, new arrivals!

 

Finished pretty close to midnight.

 

Check them out here.

 

 

Of course I have a few favorites this week.

Don't I always?

It is hard not to keep some things.

 

Like the 25 piece set of antique

Waverly Novels that look so

nice on a bookshelf.

 

Or the vintage scrapbook

filled with 26 antique postcards!

 

Or the artist made tatted crown,
handpainted glass sign, or the trio
of shabby pink rose plates.

I could go on, but I'll

just let you look

them over yourself.

 

But wait! There's also
the Mystery Sale!

I cut prices down to the

bare minimum last night!

This sweetie little robin's
egg nest is cheep, cheep, cheep!

And a vintage style eiffel tower
ornament!!!!
CHEEP!
Cheep, I tell ya!

Okay so that was a play on words
so I could show you this antique,
artist signed, Easter chick postcard
by the famous John Winsch.

I know, you're just cracking up, eh?
 

Have a great day &

Happy Almost Spring!
