Good Saturday morning to all of you! I wanted to show you something else I've painted black. I found candle holders at a yard sale and never did anything with them until last week. They were originally taupe colored and just didn't do anything for me. Once they were painted black I knew I had made the right decision. I've seen many of you display things on top of the candle holders instead of candles so I decided to put my little Amish girl and boy from Home Interiors that I got when my dh and I were first married on them.
I have them on my windowsill above my kitchen sink.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Another thing I wanted to show you is the dishes I picked up at Walmart. I found them in the clearance section. I got two boxes of them (4 place settings each). The name of them is Amber Field. I found them online, too, but the funny thing is it says they are only available online and not in the stores. They were cheaper in the store though...go figure...I guess it was my lucky day...well, I really shouldn't say luck...I don't believe in luck...things happen the way they are to happen...not by chance.
Hmmm...now I think I need new placemats!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I found this resin pumpkin at Walmart, too. It was only $9.99.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit...as always, I enjoy your company...have a blessed weekend! 
I love those dishes!!! Probably someone had returned them that's why they were there on clearence, what a find for you though. The candle sticks look great black I would have did the same thing:)

Hi Kim -
ReplyDeleteI love the look of your kitchen window. I'm guessing you must have lights in the berry vine. What a great idea! Your new dishes are wonderful, and what a good deal. On clearance! I saw the pumpkins at WalMart and have decided to go back and get one, too. I think I will, anyway. Hopefully they aren't all gone by the time I get back there in a couple of days.

Hey, Kim, thank you for stopping by! I am glad that you do. And I see that you are up to painting black too...it's so much fun to update things with black. It's such a good accent color & makes a big differene in things. I'll def. post that bookcase when I'm finished with it. It's going to be WOW!

I love your house! Those dishes are really beautiful and what a buy! I saw those pumpkins at our Walmart, too. What a good price! Your kitchen window looks great! ~Beth~
ReplyDeleteYou were meant to have the dishes, that's why you found them when they were supposed to only be availble online. LOVE the idea of using the candle holders as mini pedestals.
ReplyDeleteAs always, you make your home so warm and welcoming. The candlesticks look as though they have always meant to be black. Perfect. I just mentioned to another blogging friend that so many of us are using black accents in our homes now.
