Old World Home Furnishings: ivy

Hi everyone! I know I have been MIA, but we had houseguests all last week and kept VERY busy. Joe's sister and BIL came up from Fl. to visit us and see the house and see some other relatives too. They brought us some wonderful housewarming gifts and this is what I got!!!!! I REALLY love it. It is actually a bird feeder but I decided that it is way too pretty to put outside and maybe get ruined.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZx-T2HJxGJYGF1rnpAA0HcyAgFMN-vZBlWHqUDi_UO7nli2RxKWldd2bRatScgTYie6WE-HSUNh2Ou7wuN-hlkx6FFgAOpbOJBSdm-skHCyuQnOIinpoYIky2m1yfeEk_llJuqVTyjsr_/s1600/IMG_0377.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZx-T2HJxGJYGF1rnpAA0HcyAgFMN-vZBlWHqUDi_UO7nli2RxKWldd2bRatScgTYie6WE-HSUNh2Ou7wuN-hlkx6FFgAOpbOJBSdm-skHCyuQnOIinpoYIky2m1yfeEk_llJuqVTyjsr_/s640/IMG_0377.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> So, I thought it would be a beautiful WELCOME to anyone who comes here, used as a lantern! The little hole in the back is perfect to place a tea light inside and it is all cut out so the light shines through so beautifully! I thought I would look for some kind of stand with a hook on it to hang the lantern. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRe04cAHogMCK5_aKM4-38YdK-n0gRa4CDXunMiCbUqkwtWvt1eQxL4gYlHd1fpTMDwBRSqTfqZXZ3FvhEW2_vLTYOl53hnJZzi0VS7POTHKXHde9lcwpHB1d8v6APvyuJ3-ntkGbT9FFE/s1600/IMG_0378.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRe04cAHogMCK5_aKM4-38YdK-n0gRa4CDXunMiCbUqkwtWvt1eQxL4gYlHd1fpTMDwBRSqTfqZXZ3FvhEW2_vLTYOl53hnJZzi0VS7POTHKXHde9lcwpHB1d8v6APvyuJ3-ntkGbT9FFE/s640/IMG_0378.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> While at Lowes today, I spied this!!!!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Good afternoon everyone!!!! First of all I have to tell you that it has taken me hours to get this post up:( I uploaded my pictures 4 times before they finally showed up. I would "select all" and POOF, they would disappear!!!!! But, here we go. I am 1/2 Irish and my hubby is a part Irish but on St. Patty's Day EVERYONE is Irish!!! My Mom was 100% Irish and St. Patty's Day was her favorite day. She was very PROUD to be Irish!!! I wanted to pay homage to the day but keep it simple, and very ORGANIC! Lots of textures and organic elements. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKP7sL9omw-rXZhSOuB8srR-AxXYvPzmXAx7mWaRQEwYPghHgq2645NPBkj-BglJyavgSCJiDzpdRH59m5t1sopZwM-N6BUgLAMir5tcJVI7SjVVwjJAp3sKxdhg6VdR9zwLPYYuAp1b4D/s1600/IMG_0143.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKP7sL9omw-rXZhSOuB8srR-AxXYvPzmXAx7mWaRQEwYPghHgq2645NPBkj-BglJyavgSCJiDzpdRH59m5t1sopZwM-N6BUgLAMir5tcJVI7SjVVwjJAp3sKxdhg6VdR9zwLPYYuAp1b4D/s640/IMG_0143.JPG" uda="true" width="640" /></a></div> For the placesetting we have my scalloped white charegers, a soft green dinner plate, a white scalloped salad plate and a green cabbage plate. All the greens do not MATCH but they blend together nicely. I topped the stack off with a pear.<br /><a name="more"></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtnux2uRNuy_bgT6osN92wDQUZL_baPUmG1Q5tnvsJDCWCDYaQCBpxR0DKBRbJNzG-R4TkCuT-ArkF4fGKekXA_hrHcKc7atnbd9pMpovt8dyrZE_cTlExwIGWgMFkreKibvVpeKQh3TjW/s1600/IMG_0144.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtnux2uRNuy_bgT6osN92wDQUZL_baPUmG1Q5tnvsJDCWCDYaQCBpxR0DKBRbJNzG-R4TkCuT-ArkF4fGKekXA_hrHcKc7atnbd9pMpovt8dyrZE_cTlExwIGWgMFkreKibvVpeKQh3TjW/s640/IMG_0144.JPG" uda="true" width="640" /></a></div> So, I decided to use my pear candles.
