Make Some Waves...

No matter where you live, if it is summertime, blues, aquas, whites, greens and silvers are among the popular colors to decorate with... 

Make some waves this summer and surprise your guests with tablescapes and hints of summer using glass ornaments.

For instance....

Use assorted colors to go along with a beach theme...fill apothocary jars, vases, wooden bowls, etc.  Place them on coffee tables, buffets, as a dining room centerpiece.. the list goes on.

Here are a few Color Palettes to go by....

Happy Memorial Day!

 "Today we celebrate, our country, the United States of America, and all who have served our country to keep us safe."

This was my speel this morning to my 3 girls~ ages 7, 9, and 10.  They think today means the beginning of summer, "shorts weather", cake and pop for the day.  Oh, and a day off from school.  This actually has been a 4 day weekend of picnics and red, white and blue.  And everyday, we are trying to take a moment to think of all those who have served us and our country. 



Waterloo, a short car ride from Rochester, NY





Do you have this cake too on Memorial Day?  We do and it is delicious!



There are many ways to decorate and celebrate for the holiday!   

~Use a glass bowl as a centerpiece and fill with glass balls in Red, White and Blue.  A simple and easy way to show your colors. 

~Visit some of your favorite blogs for ideas and delicious recipes for the holiday picnics you will be attending.

~Send a note to a member of our Armed Services and say "Thank you" for their dedication and sacrifice.

~Drop off dinner or a special dessert to a family who has a husband, wife, brother, sister in the service and thank them for their sacrifice.

There are numerous ways to show your gratitude and  celebrate the beautiful day and unofficial start to the summer!

Happy Memorial Day!

Summer IS coming, I think!

This is a favorite picture of mine... I use it as one of our company logos and it helps me to feel like the summer months are coming.... we think.  We have had so much rain and gray skies... basements are flooding, soccer and baseball games and practices have been cancelled for weeks on end, there is mud everywhere....uugghh!

The bluebird is supposed to signify that Spring is coming.. I think Spring may have forgotten to visit this year.

      This Whale ornament helps me think that our Cape Cod vacation and summer are right around the corner... maybe we will take the kids whale watching this year.  Either way, hopefully,  Summer is on it's way...

The Lilac Festival, Rochester, NY

 The Lilac Festival is our first festival of the summer season.  

Rochester and visitors, around the country, flock to the hills of Highland Park for 10 days each May to smell the lilacs, listen to great music and eat great food. 

 They say, the colder and rainier the Spring, the better the Lilacs will be.  We sure have had our share of that!...There is even a perfume named after this beautiful flowering tree/bush.

If you are ever in Rochester, NY in May.... please visit our beautiful Highland Park to stop and smell the lilacs..... or decorate your home with our Lilac Hues.....

 Our motto exactly.....glass ornaments are a simple and elegant way to dress up any space anytime of year!

Opening Day of Golf Season!

To my chagrin, the Golf Season has begun!....Opening Day on the links was yesterday.  

To my husband... it means ~ days upon days of hanging out with his guy friends, out in the sunshine, enjoying some cocktails and nice lunches or snacks, etc., etc., etc.

To me....... it means ~ it is basically the last time I see him on a Wednesday, and at least one day on the weekend, and any other day the sun may be shining! LOL

Hopefully, Mother's Day "weekend" will be an exception.  We will see!

Enjoy the sunshine!
