in my kitchen on white wednesday...

When I showed you earlier this year the book (Pale and Interesting) that my son gave me for Christmas, I shared this inspiring photo from it...

I wanted to add a little collection like this to my kitchen.

I knew there was a set of mother of pearl handled knives at the shop and went back and forth with myself if I should buy them or not.

But then I remembered I had some pretty vintage knives already...

They have the most beautifully detailed handles...

I feel like I achieved a similar look to the inspiration I took from the book, so I am happy!

And I saved money...but then I spent it at the shop on something else.

Tune in Friday to see what it is!.

I also forgot to show you the tulips I bought for myself...

I bought one big bunch and put them on my kitchen table...

I am sharing today with Kathleen for

Happy White Wednesday ~ have a wonderful day!

pale and interesting...

It turned very cold yesterday afternoon so I hunkered down with a few gifts from Christmas...

My new fluffy white slippers and a book that has been on my wish list for a while was the perfect way to keep warm.  I am sure you have all seen "Pale & Interesting" before but just in case you haven't, I will give you a little peek...

There are knives with mother of pearl handles similar to these at the shop!  Should I or shouldn't I...

It is even colder this morning, so this White Wednesday you will probably find me doing more of the same today...

Well, I will curl up with this book again, after I exercise, clean the house, put a few hours in on a house project as well as a few hours working on "stuff" for my booth.

I don't just sit around all day!

Are you reading this Jim?  Hee Hee...

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
