Around the House~Mosaic Monday



Hi! My outlook has been pretty myopic lately with being under the weather and all so thought that I'd show you a few things around the house. I've had plenty of time to observe it all that's for sure. 

If you have time for curiosity, I've numbered each photo and told what it is; otherwise, please visit Mary at Little Red House for more fun mosaics.



 
1. a vignette created in a birdbath using my grandmother's silver-plated pitcher, her childhood books, and her hiking boots
 
2.  a rack of platters and plates
 
3. an old dressser scarf tossed over a dark chair in a dark corner
 
4. a real nest with real Scrabble pieces spelling N E S T and a paper bird from Quill Cottage (Miss Sandy has a link to her tutorial in her sidebar.)
 
5. a vintage window filled with vintage images from The Feathered Nest (Dawn also has links to tutorials on her sidebar.)
 
6. a pink conch shell collected in Florida
 
7. an acrylic painting I love
 
8. an apple branch hanging over the kitchen sink in lieu of a curtain
 
9. a gift from my sister-in-law... a vintage wildflower book...thanks, JP!
 
10. a hand cut stencil done by a company in Oklahoma, which I've long forgotten
 
11. a collected hornet's nest hanging from the ledge

  10. Hello Vee, I have really enjoyed your beautiful mosaic. Each photo is so sweet. I took a closer look at each one. The vintage images in the vintage window caught my eye. I have had a pair of windows in my garage waiting for just the right idea to come along so I can make them special. Yours looks very nice!

    So nice stopping by to visit with you!
    Kindly, ldh

  16. I hope that you will soon be feeling much, much better, Vee. Staying at home is wonderful when we choose it, sometimes hard when we don't. You've chosen to focus on some of the pretty things that surround you and that's a great attitude to have.
    I like the way you've numbered and explained each photo.
    Have a great week.

  18. Thanks for taking the time to identify each one. I'm glad that's a "collected" hornet's nest, and not an active one!

  22. Ohhhhhhh, you are so *sneaky-weeeky*, Honey Bun! You seldom have Comments turned on, for Mosaic Mon. Eeeeek! To think that I might have missed my chance to Comment!

    Eeeeeek!!!

    Quelles Horror! [Or however it's spelled in French. Tooo lazy to go to translation site and look it up] ,-)

    Lovely, lovey things around your house, to lay your eyes on! I especially love anything-lace. -happy sigh-

    Brilliant of you to think of tossing an old dresser scarf over a dark chair in a dark corner. It's those bits of decorative creativity, which I don't easily think of, on my own.

    Gentle hugs...

  23. I see you are 'thinking on things that are beautiful' while cooped up.

    I think you have been in isolation for much too long. Is it about to come to an end? Hope you are on the mend!

  24. dear vee,

    how are you feeling? any progress?

    i especially love the apple branch over
    the sink instead of a curtain. so cute.

    your comments about SAHMs and the
    neighborhood are very apt. such a
    loss.

  31. Oh how lovely. Interesting you added the hornet's nest. We have one too. We always displayed it in our den or gameroom. Sadly it is in storage now since we down sized. Your photo brought back some wonderful memories for me.
    Thanks for sharing and thanks for coming by My Home Sanctuary today.
    Hope your week is Blessed,
    Sherry

  35. Hi Vee!
    I love your plates...
    About hickups - yes, it must be a swedish expression, that if you talk(here:write) or think about a person, who is not in the place, the person will have hickups.
    Here I meant that maybe my sister have forgotten about her curtains, and then get hickups, seeing them again in my blogpost.(And my English are not so good. Swenglish, sometimes/most times...)
    Nice that you've find my blog.
    Best wishes,
    AnnA
