Little Details Make Me Happy

Sooooooo......

last night I was drinking my glass of wine.........

And I looked over to my left, and loved the vignette it created while I watched the

 Real Housewives of Hell!!!!!!!

So I had to run and grab my camera, because I just loved the way all the greens worked together.

Then I thought.......

"Betsy.....you need to write a post about how all the greens go together while you drink wine!!!!!!!!!"

So this is what I'm doing.

obviously I love green.....

The little cabbage leaf plate is what I use for a coaster, as I sit and watch TV and scarf down my dinner.

It's Wannopee Pottery, and I have a whole collection of them hung on walls and spread around the house,.

The little green box that's in the background of the vignette has a rose on its lid, and a chip on its corner.

So that you could see it.....I took another shot of the vignette from a different viewpoint this morning, because that's the wonderful blogger that I is!!!!!

I've had this box since my 20's, it's green milk glass and I love it.

I DIDN'T CHIP IT!!!!!

This is what can happen when you are too lazy to clean your own house.........

I have a set of tiny multicolored dishes from Japan.

I use the green one to hold my pills that I have to take.

BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY!!!!!

As a child of the 60's, I am proud to be on so many drugs!!!!!

And last but not least is the glass that holds my wine....and my water.....and my milk.

THAT'S RIGHT.....MILK!!!!

I drink a glass every night before I go to bed.

Lactaid Skim Milk!!!!

YUM!!!!!

Livin' large in my 60's!!!

So, my advice to you is to drink wine and skim milk and create vignettes by grouping items with a similar color or theme together. 

But I think the most important lesson to take away from today's decorating session is:

Drink wine and milk.....not necessarily in that order.....

On that note,

Latah, Gatah.....

Oh, wait.....

I don't want to forget the green accents in my lamp.

scroll back up and notice the base, lampshade trim and leaves around the flower.....
