Happy Memorial Day

Blessings to all those that serve, or have served, in the U.S. armed forces.
Thank you for all that you do or have done!

 In the US, Memorial Day brings the start of summer.  This is a big event for us northern climate people!  After a long winter, we cannot wait for the warm, summer weather to shine upon us.  It is a time to get outside and enjoy nature and those we love.

The image above is of a 'sommerhus', or Swedish Summer house designed in a 'New England' style.  Being a New England girl I never think of other countries wanting to copy our style.  But apparently they do!  This pretty little place would be ideal for a Memorial Day getaway don't you think?

Beautiful Image of the Day

I am always struck by the beauty and contrast of black and white interiors.  Add a pop of green from a bunch of fresh cut hydrangeas and the natural wood from the Danish Modern chair, and the balance is perfection.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star


Like a shining star in the night, this chandelier stands out among the crowd.  
Was it added just for the photo shoot?  Apparently so.  I think it's a keeper!
