Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!
*
Wow...September is here! Can you believe it? I find that time just seems to fly by these days.
I'm looking forward to the Labor Day weekend. Do you have special plans?
*
Speaking of Labor Day...I'm sure that you have heard the popular saying..." No white after Labor Day"! I say..."what's up with that?" Hehe! I have sooo enjoyed my bright whites this summer. In fact, I decorated my french country dining room in white and apple green. Love, love, LOVE IT!!! I have a small collection of white pitchers that I just adore. I used a few of them in the vignette for my buffet's summer decor.
*
But...as much as I adore white and apple green...I am getting ready to put it away. With autumn just around the corner...I will be dressing my home in warmer colors. Rich, warm reds, golds, browns, and olive green. I'm excited and hope to get started this next week...

A new white pitcher to add to my collection...

*A couple of weeks ago, I celebrated my 55th birthday. Shopping at TJ Maxx is always a treat!
I found this sweet white pitcher for a mere $9.99! It's about 10" tall...a nice sized pitcher!

ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late with it.
I'm loving the crisp whites and apple greens, and I don't want to see them go quite yet....We haven't even started to have a summer here in Washington! I keep wondering when it's going to happen and it's already September!
Love love your vignettes girlfriend! You have a real "eye" for them. I also love the new white pitcher. You know I have a "thing" for them *winks*

Loving the new pitcher!! I have several and have to stop myself from buying more. They can be addictive. The one I really wanted was a white rooster one but with a $30 tag it sadly staid behind. Thanx for coming to the party!! Hope to see ya again next week!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your apple greens with white. and I also collect white pitchers. they go with so much. This is all so lovely and I know you will have mixed emotions when you start taking it all down --for a new season is always a bit exciting!

Chari,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, dear sweet friend! Do you know you just posted two of my favorite color combinations??? I'm using some white in Fall decorating from an inspirational magazine I read recently. I'm swooning over the green leaf tray on your table!I'm anxious to see your Fall decor! I'll be back soo!
Fondly,
Pat
Such a lovely post Chari!! Goodness your vignettes are just beautiful~ I love the colors!! It's always so inspiring to come by here! Thanks for linking up at my party! :)
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY! I to just adore white pitchers...but I guess we must go with the flow as they say. I do like your new pitcher and what a good deal. Trish
ReplyDeleteI have been sitting here admiring you beautiful buffet and dining table and all the pretties you have displayed. It's always a pleasure to feel so welcomed into your space. I just realized I own your little bargain pitcher's big brother. Got him at Marshalls during back in June. I snapped up his other brother, in red, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to Potpourri Friday and helping to make it a success! I appreciate you and hope you will link up again next week!
Chari, Happy Birthday! I love your red French country dining room. The white, green and red colors really pop! I look forward to seeing what you do with the golds, browns, oranges, yellows and reds of autumn too. Your design talents are an inspiration. Thanks for your kind comments on my blog. I, too, love being home. I am fortunate that I am in a position to decide whether to stay home or work. Many would love to have the choice. I decided I will look, but if nothing appropriate comes up, I'll be happy at home!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, my dear friend!

Happy belated birthday! I love your whites and greens. Of course, I'm pretty much fond of your taste, period.
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Birthday, Chari. I hope it was the best every.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your last look at white and apple green. I've taken most of my white things down and started digging out the Fall-ish things. I still have my green apples out. Maybe I'll mix them with some red ones. :)
Hugs and Happy Labor Day.
Babs
So crisp and white! It would be great to have you post to Seasonal Sundays.

Happy belated birthday Chari! I love your vignette! I think green apples are the perfect accessory to take into fall. Perfect with the white ironstone!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining HSH!
