Dollar Tree Lemon Plates Table Setting

I remember seeing these lemon plates online last year on Youtube haul videos. I seacrhed all over, and I was only able to find the bowls and mugs to purchase. I just love the yellow and green color combination! I am not sure why, but I, and many other people seem to really be fans of this design. I have never particularly loved lemons before, but something about these plates I find beautiful.

I was very happy when I saw the lemon plates were going to be available again this year. This time I was able to pucchase a set of four dinner, and salad places. I just checked on the Dollar Tree website, and was sad to see it appears they are already out of stock again. Hopefully they will be back again next year for anyone that wanted them and missed out.

All of the crystal, and the glass butterdish were purchased at thrift stores. I like usinig clear glass and crystal pieces because they all go very well with each other, and pretty much any other dishes you will use.

The big, beautiful roses were ourchased from Walmart for $2 each. The yare also available in red. I love how large and realistic they are. The crystal vase was also only $2 at a thrift store. I thought the little hearts on it were a pretty, romantic touch.

The gold candleholder is one of two I found at Habitat for Humanity. Here, I placed one of my lemon bowls on top of it and am using it as a fruit bowl for decor.

Park Lane Glassware by Colony

This glassware was made by "Colony." "Colony" was one of a series of companies that produced glassware in the early 19th Century until the mid-20th Century. Those interested in the history of these companies can find it on various other websites, including Ohio Glass . NOTE: This vintage glassware is not to be confused with Park Lane "full lead crystal" ware by Mikasa . Libertad and I discovered Park Lane glassware at secondhand stores early in our relationship. I believe that some blue glass pieces of it were among my earliest purchases of glassware in San Antonio, Texas, where Libertad and I were married in 2009. For our first Valentine's Day together, in 2008, she took me to a store in Shockoe Bottom, in Richmond, Virginia; I think it was La Diff . I decided to buy a set of four, handblown glass tumblers, allegedly made in Mexico. They have what appear to be drops of blood all over them, blown into the glass. I thought they looked appropriate for V...

Foyer Renovation Before and After

It was a long time coming, but I finally did some renovations to my foyer. The Main thing I did was to seal all of the edges around the floorboards and paint the walls white. I decided to go with white for the floor is well. Since moving to this house, I often felt that the foyer was very dark and creepy. I decided I wanted everything to be all white so I could see any little creatures that were moving along the floor. I think the white floor is going to be hard to keep clean, especially because we don't have a paved driveway in our yard, yet. Because of that, when it rains, which is very often here in Virginia, the yard gets very muddy, and we end up tracking mud all over the house. In these "before photos," you can see the wallpaper that was original to the house when we bought it. The wallpaper is actually in fairly good condition, and fairly attractive. But, since I have a fear of spiders, I did not want the busy wallpaper...
