Mystery Heart Reflection

On Valentines Day in 2009 I noticed this heart on our wall.  I turned around to see where it was coming from....

 

   It was the first time in 25 years of living in our home that I noticed this!  (The heart, not the window!)

Cupid in the cross hairs!

               

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

                    

Dreamy Old White Stone Mill

Our kitchen window in Vermont

 Sometime soon I will be posting before and after pictures of this old house that we renovated while we lived in Vermont.  For now, I will just share a few photos of some of my favorite places.  I miss the quaint and beautiful architecture.

Old white mill in Dorset Hollow, Vermont

 We used to walk up through "the Hollow" just to gaze at this beautifully kept stone mill.  The peacefulness of this setting just drew us into into the moment, causing us to forget any cares.

This is our little house that we renovated.  Come on back in a bit for the full story, (no particular time frame connected to "in a bit"). I'll do my best!

Our Dining Room Transformation ~~~~the details~~~

THE CANDLE BASE IS AN OUTDOOR CAST IRON CEILING PORCH FIXTURE.  I TIED A VINTAGE REMNANT OF DELICATE FABRIC AND ANTIQUE CROCHETED WINDOW SHADE PULLS AROUND IT AND  EMBELLISHED IT WITH  A VINTAGE RHINESTONE STAR BURST PIN.  THE MERCURY GLASS CANDLE HOLDER IS ONE OF THE FEW NEW THINGS I PURCHASED.
