Home Sweet Home #282

Hello and welcome to Home Sweet Home!  This week I shared my July Visual Tea/Garden Journal.  This is a monthly post I am doing where I visually share what is blooming at The Charm of Home to journal it.

I also shared Botanical Style by Selina Lake (Ryland, Peters, & Small, $29.95) .  I reviewed this fabulous new book where the author shares lovely botanical interiors, diy, and style tips to bring the outdoors in for every nature lover.  Get your hands on a copy, it is great! 

There are so many great ideas, decorating, and delicious recipes at the Home Sweet Home Party each week.   All of you are so very talented!  Here are a few that caught my eye. I pin a lot from this party each week! These features were all pinned! Thanks for joining me!

Betty at My Cozy Corner share Tea For Me.  Happy Anniversary Betty! 

Kristi at Making It in the Mountains shared 12 Creative Succulent Planter Ideas.  This by Garden Therapy is my favorite. 

Justjanblog shared Delightfully Overdone.  I think she got it right!  Don't you?

Jes at Strangers & Pilgrims on Earth shared Savory Herb Butter Dinner "Roll"Muffin Mix-in-a-Jar.

Starfish Tier

I have a beautiful addition to my window today in this Starfish Tier lace curtain and valance provided by Heritage Lace.    

This starfish lace just charms me so.  It is a beautiful lace that really evokes the carefree beach lifestyle.

 The sea glass trim on the bottom of the tier and the window valance is so pretty!

I am having a sea themed tea today; like a mini vacation while I am having tea.  

I made this banana bread this weekend and it was delicious. It is called Chocolate Cherry Banana Bread.

My tea mug today is made by Gracie's  Teaware.  It matches the teapot but the teapot is marked I. Godinger & Co.

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.

Starfish Lace

Decorating for summer around my house means adding touches of the beach.  I have been so enamored with this Starfish Runner from Heritage Lace for awhile now.  I was contacted by them to share a few of their products and I was not shy about sharing how much I love this table runner!   

The runner is made with a starfish patterned lace that is called "crushed lace."  It is created using a unique process that gives the lace a finished vintage look.  The finish is heat set to create a look that is meant to last through repeat washings.  It is hand washable in cold water and line dry.  

The airy playful starfish design is so delightful, but it also has this aqua sea glass trim that really makes it special! 

I am taking the photos of this lace runner and I think, these are just not good enough to show off how beautiful this runner is.  So, I pulled my wooden table out and set a whole beach themed tea.  

This lace is beach cottage perfection.  

By peaking over at the window you can see they sent me matching Starfish Lace Window Tier too, but I will show you more of that in another post. 

You can channel the beach in your home decor this summer. It doesn't  matter if you live by the beach or not with this gorgeous Starfish Runner from Heritage Lace.

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.

Beach Luv

Shells, I love to use them to decorate.  There is no better way to evoke the summer atmosphere of the beach and vacation than to use shells. 

Here some of the dishes are shell shaped and shells are on top of the cabinet.

Using them in the bath creates a "take me away" feel.

They even look great tucked down inside a lantern.
Do you love sea shells too?

Hello and welcome to Home Sweet Home.  This week I actually did some decorating in this post Summer Wreath.

I enjoyed a treat in Savouring Summer Tea where I shared a recipe that is allergy friendly in Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip cookies.

Home Sweet Home #122

Hello and Welcome to Home Sweet Home!  Sorry this is posting a day later than usual.  I wasn't around my computer Thursday.  This week I showed off my Shabby Shell Table.

 I took a break and had a Sea Shell Tea and wrote a few note cards.

I also shared a Nautical Table I created with my favorite ship themed transferware.

Now, I would like to feature some of the great blogger's post that caught my eye from last week's Home Sweet Home.

Sea Shell Tea

I am having a little tea today and writing a few note cards. 

Here is an easy way to make a three tiered stand.  Just take three plates of varying size and stack them with sherbert glasses.

Shells are every bit as beautiful as food or flowers on display.

How are you enjoying your day?
