Recently was having fun with my new camera around the house, still learning how it works and how to take the best shots. Let’s go for a stroll….. Kitchen bunnies
Bunny on a leaf
Bathroom shelf
Livingroom console table

Fresh flowers on the piecrust table from my floral designer friend;Perfect for a spring bouquet on the kitchen table.
They sure brighten up the livingroom.
Soft blues and creams mixed with seashells in the masterbath. On top of my antique mirror.
A friend gave me the bunny and the bird holder was a yardsale find and I think they mix well together.
Oil painting in the livingroom, along with some blue and white things.
Pears on the mantel. You saw this shot on my new banner.

Silk and dried arrangement. Love these colors in the artichokes and pomegranites.
Dried hydrangeas in a container I decoupaged several years ago on top of kitchen cabinets. I still love these colors.

Hope you are all enjoying a happy week. Kim and I are getting together on Friday for a visit.

    I love your random shots of pretty. I think it is so important that we surround ourselves with pretty. After all, we deserve it.

    Thank you so much for posting about my contest on your blog. I am thinking that a really computer saavy – artistic teenager would be a great candidate for this contest…and there seem to be so many teachers that have blogs. I just need to get the word out…so I REALLY appreciate the advertising help Rhoda!

    I have to ask – are your Pears made out of gourds? I used to grow gourds, paint and sell them at craft shows. Some looked like pears, some like apples – etc.

    Speaking of your banner, have I told you how much I love it! I just love each of those pictures and it’s so representative of your blog.

    You’re doing so good with your camera! I still don’t know half of what mine can do – I just don’t have the patience to mess with it LOL!

    Love all the pretty things in your pictures. The decopauged container is so cute! All the flowers are beautiful – they do brighten a room!

    I know you’re having a fantastic time and I can’t wait to hear what you and Kim are up to!

    xo,

    Manuela

    Oh I so agree with Beverly about pretty. My daughter and I have a question about anything we buy “Is it cute?” It doesn’t matter if you need it, can afford it or if you have room for it, nothing matters but is it cute or pretty!

    Rhoda, Enjoy your visit with Kim. Your pictures were lovely. I have an Olympus digital that I received for Christmas and have yet to try it, you have inspired me to open it! What kind of camera are you using?
    Enjoy the weekend! Mary
