All It Took Was a Sunny Day


When it comes to blogging, I've been in a major slump.
I'm blaming it on a winter filled with an abundance of rainy, gloomy days.  That's a sorry excuse, but the best one I've got.    Today, however, the sun is shining and I'm rising out of the slump to wave hello to anyone who might still be bothering to stop by.




After Christmas I was at a loss as to how to decorate my large island.  I found a couple of these glass vases at GW.  Came home and temporarily set them on the island while I hung up my coat and put away my purse.  When I walked back into the room I rather liked the colors on the white countertop so I pulled a few things from other rooms and assembled a grouping down the center of the island.  Most of these vases are made from recycled glass.  Together I think they make a nice, colorful statement.
An added bonus is the pretty shadows that are created when the sun shines through them.  Kind of reminds me of sea glass.  If I lived near the sea I would most likely have an extensive collection of it.  I think it is so pretty and so fun to walk along the beach looking for it.  Kind of reminds me of a treasure hunt.
Since I don't live near the sea I'll just use my imagination to picture sea glass right here on my own personal island.

  2. It does seem like the sun energizes us to be more creative! I love finding sea glass at the beach but it's hard to spot! Enjoy your week!

  3. I know just how you feel. Constant rain and dreary days have me feeling rather down. When the sun shines, all kinds of energy pops up. I love the blue glass, and agree that it looks like sea glass. I live near the ocean and always come home with a piece or two of sea glass when we walk on the beach.

  4. It's so true that a day filled with sunshine gives a person energy and enthusiasm.
    I think the blue glass vases look great on the island and the runner looks so lovely too.

  6. I love those colours together - the patterns created on the marble are so worth capturing.

  7. I have been the same way, only for about 3 to 5 years. Your bar stools are so pretty and your bar with the blue vases is lovely. Today is a gloomy rainy day, but we have so many flowers and green grass I am hopeful. Kathi
