I am loving my egg.

Never have much cared for blue in my overall decorating scheme. The main colors I use are green (green glass vases, pitchers, etc) and red. However, when I found this robin's egg this weekend at a yard sale, I just had to incorporate it some way. So, now I have the blues!


This is a terrible picture of my Granny Bonner's quilt box staged in my den.

I have my book wreath above it, some of my green glass vases on top, and the lovely egg perched right out front. I needed something to tie in the blue and green, and by searching to blog world, I found a fabulous source for vintage graphics, Vintage Printables!! I wish I knew which site lead me to them! I promise I will get better at remembering! (Well, i better not promise...sorry...I just have a terrible memory PLUS I get sidetracked so easily that I just click-click-click and before I know it, I have no idea where I came from.)

Ok...back on track...where was I? Oh! ROBIN'S EGG NEST PICTURE! I found the sweetest little robin's nest at Vintage Printables, and printed it. I cut it down to size, and framed it in the cutest little frame I ever did see! (Look at it good. Is it not the cutest little frame you ever did see?)


Look at the sweet little columns! I found this last season, I think?? Well, anyway, I am supposed to be giving all of my extra frames to my niece Melissa who will use them this summer in her wedding reception, but NOT THIS ONE, sister. I am going to act like I have already had this frame in rotation so I don't have to give it to her. That's not wrong is it? (Quit judging me! It's only a picture frame!)

Let me tell, you, this little tablescape is precious. It does not look as precious as it is, because I cannot take a picture. If the photographer for Southern Living came over here, it would look just as good as anything in their magazine. I am so sorry, I guess I should be humble but I am telling you, it is precious. Also, the book wreath is not as bright and fluffy as it is in real life; the green glass vases are a beautiful bright green and that lamp is, well, the lamp is pitiful. Southern Living Photographer would take it off and add something he brought in his truck, probably. Ain't nothing like the truth.

So, overall, I am loving my egg. The end.

  2. It's really looking nice. I love how you have your egg displayed. Your lamp isn't so bad. Change out the shade to a round shaped one, maybe with fringe or a print fabric and place it on a book or two for height, it will be really cute.

  3. I had to laugh when I read your comment at my blog! No, I'm not an Auburn fan - my poor husband is, so please add him to your prayer list! We have four kids and he's the only odd ball in our house! So, you're in T-town...wow...small world, huh?

    I've used a paper box top before for smaller things. Unfortunately, whenever I get my hands on a bigger box, it's pretty much filled with junk before I can say "hoarder." I'll try to remember to save one just for my painting projects.

    This is a pretty display. I like your egg! And I particularly like the wreath on the wall above it! Nice!
