Let me introduce you to my ceramic Portuguese vase. I fell flat for it in Walkers Nurseries (close by). Now it's sitting on the coffee table with the books but it's intended for our entrance when the console table is ready. A is going to build it instead of us trying to find one that fits. The two long console tables in these spaces, see here and here, are my entrance inspiration. At Walkers they were so kind to give me the branches in the vase and then I bought the silk one you see in the foreground. I love its colours.
Have you bought something recently to make your home prettier?
Last Friday (1 August) I forgot Yorkshire Day. I should have posted something from the area, or a photo of a white rose, the symbol of this largest shire in England. Do you remember the famous line from Shakespeare’s Richard III ?

Remember what follows these lines?Now is the winter of our discontent
Yes, York, as in Yorkshire! And it continues:Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
So, I know some Shakespeare but I forgot Yorkshire Day. In my defence, I did watch an episode of Downton Abbey on Friday after enjoying my pizza. Its fictional country estate is in Yorkshire, close to Ripon and Thirsk. Am I forgiven?And all the clouds that lour'd upon our houseIn the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

Your new vase is so beautiful, Lisa. I'm searching for a ceramic vase in a bright shade to add to our living room, too.
ReplyDeleteOh oh ooohh what a beauty!!! I can totally relate to falling in love with ceramics! To be honest, I would have bought this vase too!
ReplyDeleteWould love to see your final console table and I'm sure this gorgeous vase would look perfect on it! You do know your Shakespeare then? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I will share it when it's done, but he hasn't started building it, yet.
DeleteOf course, they let you take a Shakespeare test before moving to the UK ;-)
