Reflections of my life

 


A mirror in the living room is always a nice touch. 

Be aware of where you hang it, however. You always want it to reflect the best view.

I have recently hung this old mirror in place of a different one that I gave to my daughter, Hannah.

We have one window and one windowed door in our small living room and the mirror reflects the light 

And view from the window in the door. The door faces a westerly direction so we see the sunset colours

Not only through that window but also reflected in the mirror. It bathes the room in beautiful light. 

This mirror is quite old and the glass has begun to silver just a little bit. 

I’m quite fond of that look. 

I also like that the mirror reflects the little conversation area in our living room. 

It makes the area seem larger and brighter.

The frame is interesting and substantial so that the mirror is a piece of artwork.

Do you decorate with mirrors?

    I have been searching for a good mirror to put in my house for a long time now... Hopefully I can find a gorgeous secondhand one somewhere!

    It makes this part of your room beautiful! light, airy, and artistic. We have a gorgeous big mosiac mirror in our dark hall, I will have to post it.

    i picked up an old mirror off the side of the road last week in a little free pile. i'm going to be keeping your wise words in mind as I choose a place to hang it.

    But first ... lots of white paint and then a real good sanding.

    What a lovely mirror! We do decorate with mirrors in our house. I love them! I have one in our front hallway that was in my house when I was growing up, and in my parents homes until they passed away. I love all the memories it has stored inside it, and I'm comforted by all the happy memories it has 'seen'. Thank you for sharing and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party Community. I hope you are having a wonderful week!

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
