Spring has Arrived!

Spring has arrived in full bloom!

To celebrate the rose scented spring breezes, velvety petals of blossoming flowers, and the sweet sound of birdsong the inside of Faith Cottage received a rose covered redo:).

A garden of hand-painted porcelains grace the mantel.

A bright vignette in creams and silver.

Even the interior of the china cabinet is filled with blooms!

Sun filters in through lace covered curtains.

Abundant arrangements add softness to artwork.

Layers of porcelain, shells, and flowers make the perfect spring centerpiece.

Thanks for visiting and sharing in the rosy glow of spring!

Living the Victorian Life

In a world so fast paced and hectic it's nice to slow down and enjoy the simpler things.

Start with a great blend of tea...

 roses from the garden...

 and there you have it.

A relaxing Sunday afternoon with the beauty of God's earth and a steaming cup of tea:).

Enjoy!

 

Blessings,

 

Kim

BTW, the delectable chocolate and coconut  tea, Soho Blend, from Harney and Sons teas can be purchased at:

Victoriana

I love everything Victorian!

(I know-big surprise:)!

From the delicate porcelain...

to the amazing literature...

tea...

roses...

the fashions...

 the jewelry...

the architecture...

and of course, the women for which the era is named.

As I was perusing my favorite magazine this evening (brace yourself as this may come as a shock but my favorite magazine is Victorian Homes:) I stumbed across an add for the ultimate Victorian dream trip.
