Slipcover Redo

While photographing a few other projects this afternoon, I photographed the slipcover that I made a few weeks ago. I loved the natural light in the living room this afternoon; sure beats the gloomy weekend we had.

Public Gardens

I went on a walk down to the Public Gardens today. It was really gloomy, but the flowers were still vibrant.

What is yellow and white and striped all over?

Have you ever seen a cuter pair of candles? Fivestripes, the manufacturer of Ana Candles, has sent me one pair of Chiffon and Daffodil tapered candles from their Pageant collection to give away to one lucky reader! The lemon-y fresh color combination is a great way to spruce up your table, mantle or patio for a summer party. Oh, and the packaging is almost as lovely as the candles themselves! I can't seem to get enough of all these stripes!

Ana Candles come in so many great colorways. Take a look at just some of the options in the Bright and Springy collection below.





They have been featured in House Beautiful, Country Living, Ladies Home Journal, Traditional Home... they're showing up everywhere and we love them!

More details, more details...

"Ana’s Striped Candles first shipped out to customers in 1994, and we proudly remain the leader in the stripe design we created. The original Striped Taper was designed by the company’s founder Frank Weeden and was the first of its kind, transforming a common household necessity into a sensuous canvass of alternating color. Sometimes, the simplest ideas produce the most extraordinary results…

The perfect symmetry, smooth finish, and deep richness of our inlaid stripes make Ana Candles everything they are today. Each season, sumptuous new palettes are selected to reflect the latest trends and delight candle lovers around the world. Ana Candles are truly a design classic and the perfect choice for decorating, celebrating, and gift giving."
