white wednesday

i've been enjoying the ongoing white wednesdays, as an observer, for quite some time now...and today i am joining in! thanks, kathleen at faded charm, for the beautiful series of posts you've inspired:)






this piano was our first major joint purchase that my husband and i made as newlyweds, 14 years ago; and we bought it "used" through the want ads!


this is the china i chose as a bride-to-be:)







funny - i was just thinking/remembering that i chose an all ivory bedroom - way back when i was only 12 years old...the carpet, walls, bedcovering...all shades of cream. i guess i've known what i love for a long time:) if i can dig up any old photos of that bedroom and learn how to scan them, i'll share them here...

    I love what you have today, Mary!! The chippy K is neat. Is it some sort of iron or metal?? I like that vintage purse too!! I used to like to buy vintage clothing a long time ago until it started to give me the heebie jeebies (like old coats with fur collars and lacy black dresses). Now I just stick with the purses (after disinfecting!! lol!)

    Welcome to WW. It is only my second time. It's fun, you always can find more!

    Oh, what wonderful whites you have! So glad you joined in...the piano is incredible...I think I saw one in a magazine once, and thought it was gorgeous. The vintage clock and handbag remind me of my mom...love them!

    Blessings,
    Mary
