Blue and White Ginger Jars

Legend Accents Mountain Pagoda Temple Jar


On Monday I posted on some lovely blue and white Chinese garden stools. Today we will look at blue and white ginger jars - my favorites. I use them both as decorative objects and as vases - right now I have one filled with red roses.

A Wonderful Christmas Tree - Update

Jackson Noble Fir Tree

 
I posted a year ago on my purchase of a new artificial Christmas tree. Yesterday I carried the storage bag in and in 10 minutes the tree was assembled, lit, and fluffed. And despite inflation and tariffs and such, the price has not gone up at all. I highly recommend this great tree at a great price if you are in the market for a new artificial tree. And next day delivery is free to your door depending on your location.

My post from last year -

"So, I wanted a new artificial Christmas tree for the great room. I was very interested in one with all the latest technology with the lights automatically connecting through the pole. I also wanted a noble fir, my favorite Christmas tree, and I really didn't feel like spending $1,000 or more for something sight unseen like some of the online Christmas tree stores.

Every single piece I have featured is under $80.

Seagrass and Wicker for Fall

Green Patterned Woven Pumpkin

 
Fall does not have to mean harvest colors of oranges and browns. I love these green seagrass pumpkins that would be wonderful with blue and white ginger jars. Blue and green is one of my favorite color combinations.

I love topiaries and have many in my garden at CCC. In Virginia, my topiaries were English Boxwood which sadly does not grow here in South Florida. Fortunately, there are many great substitutes like Eugenia that loves it here.

Fantastic $5/5 Minute Find

CCC


There are few things that bring me as much joy as having a home that I love. And part of that is maintaining it which requires great cleaning products. All my appliances are new and stainless steel and claim to be fingerprint free and to require just a dampened cloth to keep clean.

Mother's Day Gifts - Eat your Vegetables

Beaded Vegetable Bag Charm

 
This beautiful corn beaded vegetable bag charm is so unique. It is meant to be a charm for a handbag, but I think it would be so pretty to use as a key chain. It would make a lovely Mother's Day gift too which is right around the corner.

Candle Snuffers

Crane Candle Snuffer


I love a beautiful candle snuffer and a candle snuffer is essential for the candle lover. They prevent smoke in your home and prevent soot and wax soiling the candle holder as well.
