New Canvas for Guest Room

I popped into Inspired Living to check out their selection of canvases.....I've been searching for one for the guest bedroom (when it gets refreshed).  I thought I would share a few I found.....and the one I purchased....some were framed such as this one....love the muted colours....



This one is so pretty.....they've carried it in other colour variations....they never seem to last long in the store....this one is framed as well...


I'm obsessed with this highland cow canvas.....it is a huge piece....don't think I didn't wrack my brain  to figure out where I could hang it in this seventies split....ugh......no place came to mind...


One owner of the store claimed this was a "self portrait" of himself.....I had to chuckle....



And this....this is the one I went in for!   After three trips around the store....I finally came across it....it appears I have a thing for old trucks....



These rechargeable hurricane lamps are adorable....would be perfect on the mantle at Christmas....but carried the hefty price tag of $82 each!   A steep price in my opinion....


If I planned to place a couple of chairs at our kitchen table.....and if I had the room....these would be the ones!  There were two...and as much as I love them.....we just don't have room in our narrow eating area....

 


How pretty are these vases?  Not overly sized....but could hold a small, pretty bouquet....

Mr. Seventies & our son-in-law enjoyed their Father's Day and the cupcakes for dessert were a huge hit.....and possibly the best tasting cupcakes....ever!!  So fresh & the "footballs" were chocolate covered strawberries....delicious!  There were six chocolate and six vanilla....I'll definitely be ordering again for upcoming birthdays & celebrations....


My rattan handbag arrived....unfortunately it was damaged so I'll be sending it back today & re-ordering...it is an adorable bag....great quality except for this one flaw....


I'm struggling to find an outfit for this upcoming wedding!  The one I shared the other day....won't work!  I hadn't tried anything on.....and was surprised who many pieces are just to big & baggy on me now!  I decided to go through my closet & try on a few things.  Same outcome!  A denim dress & vest & skirt....are baggy on me....even with a belt on the skirt....it doesn't work.  And most of the pieces.....I've never worn!  

Daughter to the rescue.....she has 4-5 new dresses that she is unable to wear....I'm going to try them on & perhaps one will be suitable.  If not, I will have to shop & find something that will work.  Due to my weight loss (and old age).....I don't like baring my arms!  I'll ned a 3/4 sleeve or pull on a shrug or short sweater....the struggle is real & I never thought I'd have this issue.   But such is life.....

A quick photo of our second rhododendron beginning to bloom.....this deep cranberry colour is my favourite!  It's a bit of a cranky shrub....we planted it well over thirty years ago & it has struggled & while not the greatest shape it produces beautiful blooms.....just on its own terms....and time....


Please join me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphis Monday.....and again tomorrow at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesdays as well as https://www.astrollthrulife.net/ for Inspire Me Tuesday.....

Til next time....

  1. Hi Charlotte! So many cute canvasses I don't know how you ever decided. Love the highland cow but the one you chose is really pretty. Those vases are really pretty too. The cupcakes look delicious and happy that your rhododendron is flowering. I don't envy you with trying to find a dress for the wedding but wishing you all the luck. Take care over there, my friend.
