My Romantic Home: Our Favorites!

Friday, July 25, 2008

Our Favorites!

I thought it would be fun to see everyone's favorite thing in their home. I know your favorite thing could change from day to day but pick your favorite today and share it with us! It could be one item, a collection of something, a vignette, something big, something small, etc. but it cannot be a person...it must be a material thing. If you would like to join in please leave a comment or email me once you have posted a photo and description of your favorite thing and and I will add it below. Please be sure you give me the link for that post not just your blog link. You can send me your link any time between now and Sunday, July 27th and I'll keep adding them below! I hope if you have a blog you will join in on the fun....I can't wait to see everyone's favorite things! (this tiered dish is my favorite thing)

If you would like to link back to this post to let others know, please feel free to grab the image at the top of this post and put it on your blog. To get the link to this post you can click on the date below and copy the web address in your browser window.

Here are other bloggers favorite things (click on the blog names below to visit their blog):

If you've asked me to add you and you don't see your name here shortly after, please let me know. Some of the requests are ending up in my SPAM mailbox and some I just missed because I have too many emails in my box!!!

Jojo said...: Cindy, I wish a had 1 favorite thing but I don't. A few years back at Lakewood Fairgrounds (an Atlanta monthly sale), one of the vendors gave me a card that had a quote that became a mantra. “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful” by Wm Morris. We moved and I scaled back using this quote during the sorting process. I ended up with everything that I love! It is wonderful to enjoy everyone's favorite things!

I was searching online for decorative wooden appliques to add to some shabby wall shelfs I found. Not too much out there- that's where I came across your post concerning resin appliques and not to use them. Do you know of a supplier for wood resin or wood appliques at decent prices?
I love your home and the frame wall- that is on my list to do someday. I love your ideas- and all the helpful info! I will be back as a regular. Love your site!!! Irene in Nor Cal; July 27, 2008 1:54 PM

Ginger of Enchanting Cottage and I have started a new blog called Spiritual Sundays. It will be structured on the order of Kelli's Show & Tell. But it will be a Sunday thing. When you have time, I hope you will visit my blog to learn more about it. My Friday post is about it and also there is a link on my sidebar that you can click to go to the new blog.
