A Light for the New Year

Hello World!  We have made it through the first week of the new year.  Hopefully, it has been a nice and productive one.  For today's post, I want to share some pictures of a beautiful present my Mother-in-law, Joan gave me for Christmas.  She presented the lovely Rosetta Lantern from Pottery Barn to me.  I was completely overwhelmed.  Would you like to see her?  Here she is. 


Isn't she divine?




Rose is making her new home on Martina the console.  

The curves are perfect.  What a lovely glow. 

Look at the lovely flecks of blue.  We all know how much I adore blue.

Lovely curves underneath. 






Rose is nestled among some pretty plates, The Dedicated Daughter when she was a baby, some old music books, and a Jim Shore angel. She is such a lovely lantern and the glow she casts at night is divine.  Nothing like having candlelight wash a room.  It definitely changes the atmosphere.  


Thank you for the visit.  Have a grand day and remember to be kind to one another. 


Toodles,
Kathryn
