This was a gift from a friend when I decided to give up my life in Calgary and move on. She knew me well. I have now placed this on my patio. In fact, this inspired me to 'decorate' my patio this evening. After an exhausting day at the Farmer's Market, I needed a little down time. I love sitting out at night.
Candles and lights set the mood. I had a collection of telephone insulators. How do I explain what these are! They were used on telephone line poles when lines were above ground. They come in colours of whites, greens and blues. I set out my collection and put blue lights among them.
Thank you to everyone who visited me at the Market today. I loved visiting and soaking up all your ideas. I can see a lot of nice friendships and cooking happening soon.
Now I just need to have a working oven!
That is a great sentiment Sarah... one we should all take to heart.
ReplyDeleteHey, you made my day when you said people like the muhammara; are you using a lot of walnuts in yours? In any case, I love this saying and I wish I had followed it decades ago!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! You've inspired me to decorate my deck - its very boring and uninspired right now :) Hope your oven gets fixed SOON!!
ReplyDeleteGreat sentiment. Relaxing on the patio after a hard day....great idea.
ReplyDeleteA working oven would be excellent. I love the insulators. I never started a collection but would have loved to. Years ago we could get them for as dime at the flea market. I love how you've used them as a focul point.
ReplyDeleteConfidence is so important. It's the one thing I hope I instilled in my kids. Encouragement and love are the basis for it.
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with your lights, so original!
Thanks for sharing this - it's inspirational
