Still Sparkling And a List of Favorites

Truth be told, instead of viewing life through rose colored glasses, I would rather see things with just a tad of sparkle.

I highly recommend it. In fact, as I looked around my house this morning ,with the sun streaming through the windows, I realized once again that the things I love

are still sparkling.

And so, if you are indecisive about how to select things to display around your house,

my house and I

would like to make a very humble recommendation.

Pick a few things that

   give back.

How?

Through light and just a little sparkle.

My Favorite Sparkling Things:

silver pieces

which are the gift that keeps giving-

none of mine are particularly fine , and they are rarely perfectly polished

but then neither am I- we make a great match

cut glass/crystal and mercury glass-

my favorite choices are rose bowls that aren’t full of tricks- I just let them do their thing-

they are beautiful empty and just as they are

and mercury glass, which speaks for itself –

it has that perfect feel of being just a little old

mirrored place mats-

that I never use as place mats (I don’t need my food to sparkle)

I use these throughout the house because almost all of my furniture (especially its tops) have seen better days-

and whether it is painted white or is dark and  scratched, a piece of mirror helps

mirrors- period-

and the placement of my mirrors is never about logic or standing perfectly in front of it and putting on lipstick-

it is about helping the light travel.
