I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Both Sides Now
Bows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere,
Ive looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun,
they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done
but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,
the dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real;
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show.
you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know,
don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall.
I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say
"I love you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
they shake their heads, they say
I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained
in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.

It's beautiful!!! You certainly did step into beautiful whiteness, lace and clouds and shiny-ness!!
ReplyDeleteStop by in a while...I'm getting a POST together!!!
Bye,
Jan
I never had heard of a 'scuttle' before today! How lovely, each and every little treasure!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely day, Shelia!
Hi Shelia, it is beautiful but always remember...the color in your home is one of God's gifts to you. YOU have a very special touch with color! I truly mean that.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Barb ♥
So much prettiness! It's fun to see what you can come up with when you play around a little, isn't it? :-)
ReplyDeleteOh Sheila I am so sorry my friend I have not been around! Your new kitchen is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO DARNED JEALOUS!! I know...God does not want us to be jealous of others but I can't help myself! I absolutely love it! We are doing my kitchen over little by little. Oh well...it takes time. You are a very lucky girl. Keep Dawn from C & G Design in your prayers....she's in the hospital and just had 3 1/2 feet of her colon removed. Poor girl is in a lot of pain. Hugs to little baby Carter grandma!
ReplyDeleteShelia, Your whitness, laciness, and romantic side have finally made an appearance and they look gorgeous! Love the scuttle with its tucked in shaker! Mine is missing its scoop, too. And your little bucket for Dr. Pepper- love it! I am a Pepper, too. Mr. S said he never knew anyone who liked this drink. He was from the midwest and I grew up in NM,close to TX, so we all drank the stuff. It's still my favorite drink, besides good ol' Coke.
ReplyDeletehugs, Sue
Shelia, you did really good. I love it. I think these are the hardest kinds of vignettes to do and yours is just perfect. So romantic, white and full of wonderful dreamy things. Love it. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYes indeedy do, you step right into elegant simple romantic mode and you did it with your usual Panache' I might add.. you just have magic in those fingertips, Miss~! you never fail to make something even more beautiful than it ever thought it could be.. I love it and will be buying all the silver i find:)
ReplyDeletesee what ya started lol
Sonny
Hi Shelia! I love your whiteness, vintageness and clouds! lol I have one little hall table that I have decorated with shabbiness since I can't do my whole house like the other bloggers...'cause I LOVE my color too much! I have been on the hunt for a sugar scuttle...love yours! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteYou had way too much fun! Yes, I know what you mean...10,2,&4. Wouldn't mind having one right now.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun-filled day,
Karen
What a great way to start my day!!! Yes 10, 2 and 4...drinking the diet kind these days!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shiny things with all the lace surrounding them!!!
I adore that song. You have so many kitchen pretties, Shelia.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
It looks all soft and billowy and beautiful to me...all white is nice but I still love color! ;D
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia, your romanticness is just beautiful! That is a great silver tray you got and you set the stage just perfectly with all the lovely lace and silver and candles! Linda
ReplyDeleteSheila, I love all your tarnished silver goodness with the white. All of it looks great.
ReplyDeleteYour silver treasures are charming.I love your composition. It's beautiful..

Shelia it is all beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteShelia, your vintage vignettes are absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove it all! :-)
Oh your beautiful white cloud has a lovely silver lining!
ReplyDeleteYou have so many pretty silvers, Shelia. I love them all!...Christien
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm floating on a cloud looking at your whiteness and vintageness!! You have created an awesome vignette my dear! I still have a hard time leaving my silver unpolished... I always want to get the Wrights Silver Polish out but the patina is the "thing" now. Anywho you did a great job Shelia... great song too.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs,SHerry
Sheila, You did a wonderful job placing all the silver pieces together. The crispness of the white lace and white napkin look incredible next to the silver (both tarnished and polished)!
ReplyDelete~ Susie
Hey Shelia! I am sitting here drooling over your so so pretty silver pieces. I'm loving this stuff too! You have quite a collection on that tray. The man who is helping me with my daughter's wedding reception wants me to leave my silver unpolished, but I'm just afraid some will say, "couldn't she polish her silver for her own daughter's wedding? LOL! Always worried about what people will think! :)
ReplyDeleteAre you getting rain?
Love, Donna
You betcha' you did girl. You created a whiteness of romanticism and vintageness floatin' in the clouds of my mind. Now girl, I'm quite smitten with that little bunny spreader. (Did ya know I collect bunnies??) I covet it and I'm not ashamed to admit it! Heeehehehe!!!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless ya and have a super fun day a'floatin' in the romantic clouds!
Dear Shelia, you have some lovelies to play with :o) My favourite has to be all that beautiful white lace...so feminine. Liking your kitchen make-over too :o)

ReplyDeleteHugs, Carolyn ~ Cottage Sunshine
I just love your sugar scuttle! And to think that I didn't even know what it was called! :) And that sweet little bunny knife is just precious! Thanks so much for visiting, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia, I came over to visit your barnyard and look what I found. whiteness, antiqueness, silverness and cloudness. You did great. It is all so pretty and cleverness. Smile. Love your fun nature Shelia.
ReplyDeleteNow on to the barnyard bash.
Hugs, Jeanne
Wonderful post..It does indeed look victorian and romantic
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteOh you made a perfect dream of white and silver, soft and shiney:-) That is a fabulous tray and the little rabbit spreader.... I am lusting for him:-)
Bella
I think you're just teasin'... :)
ReplyDeletebut you certainly did fit right in. I keep messing with the idea of painting my coffee table in the living room white ..but so far...nooo. I always lose my nerve.
Everything looks lovely. My poor silver is getting more and more tarnished by the day..but maybe tomorrow...
It's about where yours is...just a tad tarnished. :)
Hugs,
Mona
It looks like you accomplished it beautifully. That's a great idea. My home is pretty colorful, too, but I love the pale whites I see in blog land.
ReplyDeleteI love all those pieces together with the rusty/orange candles for a punch of color...very pretty vignette.
ReplyDeleteA very pretty vignette of silver! I got rid of most of my silver long ago - did not like to polish. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your weekend.
I thought I was looking at another Silver Sunday post! It's all so gorgeous! I don't have a clue what your talking about with 10,2 &4 and sugar scuttles but it sure does all sound good! LOL! You are always so much fun to visit. Oh and yes, I do think you accomplished your goal with this post. It is very romantic vintage looking to me!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely. That little bunny server is sooooooo precious. Love those mint julep cups. I've been trying, unsuccessfully so far, to find some for myself. You accomplished your goal and did a great job getting there!!
ReplyDeleteHello Sheila Daer~ ~ ~You are so sweet stopping in for visits. I always look for your smiling face. I love all your beautiful silver! Years ago I had so much of it and it has all been lost but a few pieces. Here and there I pick up a new/old one. So much fun isn't it? Take care.
