~Keeping It Simple Sweetie~

Hello Everyone,

I hope your week is going good.  I've been having a great time being off work for a few days.  All the glitz and glitter from Christmas is almost put away until next year and today I'm transforming the living room into a more simple look for the Old Fogies.  After arranging and dusting I stopped and sat down for a cup of tea and cookie. The beautiful 'Yuletide' camellias are about a month late this year, but they are so beautiful I wanted to enjoy them in the house for awhile.

This tea cup, saucer and dessert plate came from a yard sale.  It's NASCO

'Roses of Victory' 22 kt. Gold Deco, Made in the U.S. A.

These smaller tables sit in front of the love seat and I have my tea books stored underneath for quick reading.

Behind the love seat is a sofa table with my new faux Amaryllis I bought from my favorite store and a cloche for my new little mercury glass bird. 

The black box I used on the coffee table at Christmas is showing off some of my favorite things.
And my pet dog is watching everything that goes on around our house.  We don't have a real live dog, but if someone new walks in our front door-they think the dog is real.  We love him. 

The mantel is simple too.  Old books, a photo of the farmland in England and a pair of antlers.

I found the antlers in our garage.  My sweetheart is a great Deer and Elk hunter and he has many pairs of large and beautiful antlers hanging in his shop.  He gave me this pair because they were broken and he didn't want to hang them up.  LUCKY ME.  I dusted them off and they were good to go...

So I have had a tea party for one and a living room make over.  BUSY DAY!!!
