I was playing around with a new arrangement on the dining table and I came around the corner and was thrilled to see the dazzling light refractions on the ceiling from the sun! The flowers were highlighted and even the candles seemed to be glowing! It pretty much confirmed to me that this was a good look!
It was very early evening- 5 minutes later it looked completely different! I haven't seen the sun make it through to shine on the chandelier since last fall!
In a weird way it's a sign of spring!
I didn't even have a chance to iron the table topper I laid out!
I was experimenting to see if I could use the Santos Cage Doll on the table. I tossed in a little candle ring made with silk forsythia flowers and I added the mercury glass candle votive for a little extra something to look at.
The flowers were an arrangement I made up a few years ago and had forgotten about it. I was picking through my deco stuff and saw it and figured why not? I was going to take the big candelabras down to storage but once I put the Santo's doll there I thought I'd try one of the candelabras and I liked it.
I'm pretty happy with this and it feels springlike to me so I'm going to stick with it until I do something for Easter.
When I made the arrangement I used a styrofoam piece to secure the silk flowers and surrounded the outside with Spanish moss.
Less exciting without the sun but I did iron the table topper!

ReplyDeleteIt is amazing that your chandelier is announcing the arrival of spring by reflecting the light on the ceiling. The tabletop vignette is beautiful with the Santos doll as the focal point. Your flower arrangement may be an oldie but it is still beautiful. I would like to say your home is just beautiful. The wall art, the beautiful Palladian windows, your furniture, and your color choices all come together to make beautiful pictures.
