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!

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
