This small frosted lidded candy dish is from GW.
A mere 59 cents!
I used it for my Easter Dessert table last week!
The following photo is not "bought" used but rather a re-used collection,
so I thought it might somewhat qualify for this meme as well.
The pot has been with me since Gilbert, AZ, just right after my son was born in 2002
and it has been indoors and outdoors like here.
The petunias are on their bi-annual anniversary this coming May.
The Easter Lily used to be on my mantle; paid $6.99 for it.
The soil is from last season's petunia planting!

As you know, I am part Spanish as well as Chinese born to parents born in the Philippines.
So in my future home, my style would be "Spanish Asian Fusion"
I want my main lighting to be Spanish, not Rustic, but the romantic wrought iron design of Spain's artistry with iron. So, now and again, I add to my collection of wish lists. This year, these are my choices from Lamps Plus!
This is called "Malaga"
This is "San Dimas"

Chandy, you do always create such wonderful tablescapes, and I love the thought of the candles and the wonderful chandeliers. I hope you find the perfect house and I know you will decorate it with such love and perfection. All of the chandeliers are wonderful. It would be really hard to decide which one to get. Thanks for the inspiration again. Hugs, Marty

I love candles but I never have enough of them on my table to make it really sparkle and glow. I will take a cue from you and change this.
ReplyDeleteLadies, you all so rock! Will be visiting you all later; the kids have so much going on today...

Very pretty lighting to choose from for your future home. Thanks for visiting me today! Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteChandy, I love your blog. I love the chandeliers. My home is almost 25 years old, and some of the lighting is in desperate need of being replaced. These are just splendid. Thanks for always stopping by my blog and offering wonderful encouragement. You are just a delightful person. I love all of your dishes and tablescapes. Thanks for the hint about odd numbered lighting...I never knew!! Of course, I'm learning there is a lot I never knew. Today, I posted my 2nd time around entry on Tam's blog (Gypsy's Corner) by accident. I am addicted to this blogging, but there is just so much to take in. I love it!!! Thanks again...hope you have a restful and blessed evening.
ReplyDeleteHi Chandy! As always, I love your posts. But my jaw dropped when I saw the "San Dimas" chandelier -- if you take off one "layer" and make it a single chandelier, it could be the double for the one that hung in our former home. Except ours had no shades (except when I would add them!).
ReplyDeleteI loved that light fixture -- and loved decorating it for holidays, too. :-)
Your advice about setting a beautiful table is good advice! And you are so right about using odd numbers -- I remember learning "the rule of 3" in a design class many years ago!
And I apologize -- I don't think I ever picked up my award from you! I've been running around lately with my parents -- health problems, unfortunately. But you know I thank you, and I will track back and retrieve it!
All the best... Cass
Cass, you take your time. No problem!
ReplyDeleteCrystal, you are so fun! Odd is a good rule because it breaks the formality phase of any decor and it is more eye catching!
Ladies, I love that you take time out to leave me such great messages. Thank you all so much!
ReplyDeleteI did a chandy for second time around too. One I reclaimed from my son's dumpster..I hung it in the gazebo..come look..
ReplyDeletePretty flowers..I don't know which chandy I would choose..:(
All set for tomorrow?
