Lovely Lace

Join me for a quite moment in a private corner with a cup of tea.  Can you feel the sheer tranquility of this moment?

Unwinding with this cup of tea comes naturally in this surrounding because this lace radiates stillness in this light. This lace is woven in a point d'esprit fashion which literally translates to "lace of spirit."

This tea moment was was brought to you by Heritage Lace.  I was so blessed to receive some products from them to share with you.  This is the Floret Table Topper it measures 36" x 36."  The delicateness of this pattern just made these photos.  

The teacups are actually cappuccino cups from Heritage Lace.  The pattern is called Miss Blackbirdy.  They were just delightful for tea and such a generous size holding 11 ounces. They are also made in a heavy porcelain like restaurant ware. 

So sit down and take a break, invite some friends and grab a cup.  There are also several serving pieces to go with this pattern sold at Heritage Lace.

Give yourself that contentment of a pause in your day.  You have earned it.

The pillows in my tea setting today were also provided by Heritage Lace.  The Welcome Pillow Cover  measures 18" x 18."  The fabric this cozy graphic is printed on looks like burlap but it is a soft woven polyester.  The Live Simply Pillow Cover, measuring 12" x 20," is made the of the same material and such a cute compliment to the Welcome Pillow.

Thank you very much to Heritage Lace for sponsoring today's tea.  The products described were provided to The Charm of Home for this post.  The written description was entirely my own.

Home Sweet Home #222

Hello and welcome to Home Sweet Home!  This week we picked a lot of strawberries in Strawberry Luv. 

I also baked up this Berry Flag Cookie for Memorial Day and I shared how I did that.

There are so many great ideas, decorating, and delicious recipes at the Home Sweet Home Party each week.   All of you are very talented!  You all had a lot of great post!  Here are a few that caught my eye.

Laura at Decore to Adore created these Anthropologie Inspired Applique Curtains that were fantastic! 

Joy at A Vintage Green shared a gorgeous garden in Just Visiting a Friend.

Amy at Ms. Toody Goo Shoes shared Mega-Mansion Tour: Outdoor Spaces and Relaxing Retreats (Part 6).  Beautiful looks to steal for your patio here! 

LuAnn at Lovely Livings shared Creating Simply Lovely Pillows.  Love the chandy image and the bling on this project! 

I have on several occasions wanted to feature some of your entries but, you don't create a link back to the Home Sweet Home party.  So, please include that link so I can feature you too!

I am really lucky to have all of your amazing posts because, it is you who make the Home Sweet Home party so special!  You are all so talented and share such wonderful posts!  It is really hard to feature a few and, remember to be featured you must have a link back to the Home Sweet Home party.   Thank you to everyone who joins me at Home Sweet Home!  It is wonderful to have you here!

Home Sweet Home #79

Hello and welcome to Home Sweet Home!  I showed you a few ways I create the nautical look in my home last Friday but, I forgot to show you this mermaid.  She makes quite a statement where ever I place her. 

I also have created a Cottage Style Quick Clip of these nautical accessories showing you how to bring the beach home in your house.  I will be starting to make a lot of these videos all under two minutes.  They will be made to watch on hand held devices while your out and about and waiting.  They have no commercials, no pages to turn, and a soundtrack. 

Here is another link for hand held devices if the box below won't load:  Nautical Looks for the Home

Now I would like to highlight some of the posts that caught my eye last week.

Suzan at Simply Vintageous made this hutch over with spectacular color choices.

Courtenay at Creek Line House had her mantel featured on Better Homes and Gardens website.  Congrats Courtenay! 

 Gail at Gail's Decorative Touch added a great antique sign to her mantel shelf.

Liz at Rose Vignettes  had a gorgeous Fresh-Cut Friday last week.  She host a party the first Friday of every month where you can show off any fresh floral arrangements.

Karen at Shabby Brocante showed off her thrifty finds.  This soup tureen is something I have been looking for so I was most excited for her that she found one.

There are many great links each week!  Thank you to all who join me at Home Sweet Home!

Burgeoning Chic of Pink

Image: davidaustinroses.com

If you lived in the UK you could get a David Austin rose bouquet delivered to your front door.  This is a newer shade called Kiera.  The shades of pink in this are perfection.

Or would you rather go with the "2011 Color of the Year."  Honeysuckle.

It is energizing.  I used it on a tablescape last summer.

I remember this color being preppy.

I remember this color somewhere else....oh yes, Elle.

 Did the runways cause this stir in our living rooms?

 I don't know, I think this color shouts tween to me.

So what does pink look like if it grows up?  Remember Meggie Cleary's "Ashes of Roses" dress from the Thorn Birds.

Or how about Natalie Portman's coat in the movie Black Swan?  Love this look... although she does look a little edgy.  

Pink; for all of it's attention grabbing looks, will be a safe bet in flowers.

This looks pretty safe to me too.  Some pillows, a throw, and a coffee mug in the chic pink of the moment.  When your coffee mug breaks a new color will be in style.

Or my personal favorite pink; a little closer to Meggie's dress, makes a great pillow.  Available in my Etsy shop now.

Having a little fun with the fashion and the trends of interior design.  I will be joining Beverly for Pink Saturday at How Sweet the Sound.

Last week Beverly asked us to find one new blog and feature them on our blog this week.  I happened on Girl in Pink.

 Amanda has a great blog where she shows off her found treasures for us to drool over.
 Go and check her blog out and tell her I sent you.
