MAKEUP FOR MATURE SKIN

I love burning scented candles.One of my favorite brands is Linnea lights. Last winter I  won a giveaway on Joy's blog Savvy City Farmer .A Linnea lights candle and my favorite magazine Jeanne d'arc living.And I was lucky enough to meet sweet Joy! When I first lit the candle it was a very very soft fragrance.At first I could not smell it much.But when the oils got warmer and warmer you could smell the wonderful aroma of Belgian Linen!This line is now one of my very favorites! Besides the amazing aroma of these candles I also love how they burn down so evenly.Sometimes when you extinguish a candle the wax separates to the sides of the jar. This doesn't do that.I feel like you really get your money's worth.And they last for 60 hours! Don't you just love how these are packaged! My ... View Post

Last spring we were in the market for a new camera.We found the camera and for a time I was using a camera backpack to lug it around.Sort of a pain and not very pretty. I had my eye on one from Jeanne Oliver .My timing was off because her new line was not due to hit until last fall.So I carried my camera around in that backpack with my personal items all last summer.In December her new line was released! Hallelujah a new camera bag was part of her new line!Merry Christmas to me!Love receiving products from Jeanne.She always wraps it so beautifully it feels like a gift.And this was a gift to me!Her beautiful photography and artwork!A lovely photo of France. Don't you just LOVE that beautiful rose!You can see this hanging from a re-purposed lamp base that is made into a bag stand is what I ... View Post

Over the weekend I was finishing painting a table set I had planned on adding to my space 417 .I did a mix of Annie Sloan old white and old ochre. I love the richness of this color!I think that mismatched chair adds a bit of whimsy don't you? That fabric was found a while back at a thrift store.I found a whole bolt of it! Sort of a cottage shabby look. The dishes were a fun find too.Very retro from the 60's I think. I am in love with those pink cups! I wish I could keep them but that's the life of a antique junk queen! I am thinking this set won't last long!
