Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! For those of you that link up I try to get this post up every Thursday at 6:00pm Pacific Time. Sometimes I'm a little late though!
This week I'm sharing my candles that I had lit last night. Usually this time of the year the weather starts warming up a bit but not this year! We are now getting the cold, wet weather we didn't get all winter! If I had a fireplace I would have it lit but since I live in an old apartment with no fireplace, I light my candles when I want it to feel warm and cozy in here. It looks so peaceful and serene but it isn't....
As I was taking these photos Beau was dragging his bed all over the living room and barking at it! Both him and his bed ended up right in the camera view. When I asked him to move his bed, this is the look he gave me! Please ignore the very worn-out, chewed-to-threads toy. It's his favorite and I think he would be sad if I threw it away! We call it his "friend." I tell him "Go get your friend" and he brings me that dirty old stuffed toy! It's pretty cute! Well...at least to me it is! Have I told you how much I LOVE this dog? He has some nicer toys but he prefers this ratty old one!
Shells, candles and a glass of red wine...a few of my favorite things! sigh...

Beau is so cute! Bentley has lots of torn up toys that he loves too. They love to be the center of attention don't they? What joy and fun they bring to our lives. I'm having a glass of wine too ~ so cheers!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
Cindy, Beau is adorable. Our Ms. Gizzy, who I miss terribly, had a ratty old stuffed pig that somehow looked just like her. We called it her baby and she slept with it every night. Gotta love our pets, huh?... Donna
ReplyDeleteCindy, it looks like a nice way to add a bit of romance to your home. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting each week......Sarah
That's a beautiful shot, the candles and tray of shells is so pretty. My dogs love their ratty toys too. The uglier they get the more they love them. It reminds me of the story The Velveteen Rabbit. Thanks for hosting Cindy, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cozy scene, Cindy! I love it that you let us in on the background activities! lol Thanks for hosting!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteI have candles all over my house. I love your candlescape. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteYour dog is so cute! I'm glad he has a favorite toy even if it is ugly!! Love the shells and candlelight .
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteBeau is so cute! Don't we treat them just like our children? My Peeka (cat) is laying here on the bed beside me as I post. I just love the old fuzzball!
Gorgeous relaxing scene, thanks so much for hosting!
Hugs,
Patti
I am a candle person also - have lit many. The pictures of Beau, his bed, chewed toys, your glass of wine and lit candles - that is real life.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting again this week - you are appreciated.
Such a cutey.

Shells and candles belong together dag-nabbit. There are few things that are so serene. (No worries about the frayed dog toy. I've got two dogs and they both have similar 'friends'). Thank you for hosting Cindy!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely evening to me! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting every week. :)

a wonderful weekend.

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Cindy. Lots and lots of lovely links to browse this week! x Julie
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us see Beau. He's delightful! I have a Wire Haired Fox terrier called Delphi who is also the delight of our lives. She too has a worn out old toy...a soft toy duck..which no longer quacks. But that doesn't matter. She takes it to bed with her and it gets 'kissed' every night.
ReplyDeleteWhat would we be without our dogs?

Beau is such sweet company and he are like little kid playing with his toys, I miss my sissy dog so much
ReplyDeleteThe shells and candels are so pretty
Hi - I just loved that vignette! It's so simple and yet so beautiful (nice photographs as well!). And the best part - the red wine afterwards. My kind of photoshoot!
ReplyDeleteLove your cute pooch too!
I'm linking my dining room ceiling design on your link party today. Thanks for hosting! I want to tell you that I have gotten many referrals from your blog - so thank you so much!!
Linda
I was giggling over your Beau story. Bella does the same thing! I can't even get a bed like the one he has because she digs at it like she's desperate to get something out of it! Her favorite toys are old ratty things too, and I can't bear to throw them away. So cute when they know what you are saying!
ReplyDeleteYour evening looks perfect! Candles, shells, wine, and snuggle buddies.
What's your favorite red right now?
Oh they know when we are doing something that does not include them, just like kids. LOL! Good thing they both bring so much joy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting =) Have a wonderful day, and a lovely weekend.
Thanks for hosting. I joined in quite late this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteWine, shells, candles, cute pooch...ALL GOOD.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting. Your home is always so gorgeous. I am really hoping you will stop by My Dream Canvas :-)
ReplyDeleteThat Beau is so cute. I just want to hug him. Here is Central Missouri it is raining and thundering like crazy today. My little dog Jake is so cute. We love him. I call him the Jake the Farm Dog. He goes everywhere with my husband and helps so much on the farm and if you all believe that I am a very good writer. Check my blog to read about him.
ReplyDeleteI love your shells and candlelight set up- it is so soothing and calming..........perfect for a dark cold day to enjoy and brighten your spirits!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for hosting. Have a great weekend!

I really enjoy everybody who links up for Show And Tell, Cindy! Just wanted to say how Beau gave me a laugh. Those of us with dogs know that sometimes our homes can be dog-decorated with stinky, old toys; or a favorite, shredded blankie; and often when it's "just us," the covers go over the furniture so that dogs can cuddle on the sofa with their humans; or maybe it's not the greatest-looking bedroom because the nice comforter is protected by an oversized sheet "shield" against dog hair; or maybe your floors get mud prints after exuberant play in the yard (this could go on and on); but is there a greater joy than seeing a pet doing "Crazy Dog" as they run in loops from room to room in a frenzy only a dog can understand; watching them "swim" on the bed after a bath as they frantically try to get the shampoo smell off and get dry; watching the big, sloppy puppy bury her whole face in the water bowl as she learns how to drink (oh well, the kitchen isn't carpeted!)...and don't get me started on the little guy who got hold of a roll of toilet paper while I was at work (he did a better job of papering the house than the school kids did on my front-yard trees!)...
ReplyDeleteYour baby looks like he has personality plus. Lovely face. Cheeky I think.
ReplyDeleteYour vignette looks really nice,the glass of red very welcoming xx
Love Beau's face! I have 2 toys poodles that have "looks", too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm linking up the nursery that my daughter and I did for her new son.
Thank you for the linking opportunity! :-)
How's your new job going? Have a lovely weekend and thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteHow cute Beau is. Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteGasp! those starfish, sea shells and white candles just transported me to another world,oh they look so very beautiful.I am your newest follower,do drop by mine....
ReplyDeleteI have a very small formal lv rm. and I might be having some girlfriends over next month. I needed a coffee table to put our tea cups on; I was asking my husband if he would make a small bench that might work. We he said lets go out tomorrow and see what is in the thrift stores. We can either cut it to size or take the wood from a table and make something. Well for $4.98 I found a wood table with medium size dowls for the shelve below the table top. I got a free quart of paint in the mail from Glidden. It was a very pale yellow. My husband cut the legs shorter, sanded the table , reinforced the wobble thing with brass L bracets. It has nicks here and there and I sanded the edges to give it more wear. So with the brackets and table I have a very rustic coffee table for $8.00.
