Autumn Blue and White

Good Morning Everyone,

My branding project is still underway. I have been slowing changing and playing around with my new logo and other new branding tools that my brand manager has sent me. It has been truly inspiring seeing my vision for a more elegant logo and signage for my blog and boutique come to pass. I am hoping that this is a sign of things to come. 

I had a lot of fun creating a reel for the boutique’s new arrival. My husband helped me with filming. I want to create more reels but they are a lot of work! Especially if you have a certain vision in mind and don’t want to mimic with other people are doing which can be very hard because there are so many creative people online. 

We are now in the full swing of the autumn season, and I have found myself a little too busy to decorate! Well, I will be honest the items that I really want are far too expensive. I follow Belle Omniley on Instagram and find her holiday style so inspiring! She recently posted the photo below and I knew that this would be the inspiration for my porch!

Oh my goodness! Do we see the color palette? Do we see the blue and white ginger jars? Oh my goodness! As soon I saw the ginger jars I wanted to pull mine out and place them on the porch immediately! It’s just gorgeous!

 

 

So happy that she shared an up-close photo. I have this photo saved in my phone. I have already purchased 3 huge mums but they died already! I am seriously considering getting some faux mums! I found these faux green topiary balls on Amazon and I think that they would look great in my blue and white planters. They look really similar to her green mums in this photo.

I did find these beautiful blue and white pumpkins at the At Home store last year at the end of the autumn season. I don’t think that they are available anymore, but I have these placed in our family room. 

 

I pulled my fabric blue and white pumpkins out this year. I love these and they were such a good find! Of course, they are from the At Home Store, but they are no longer available. You can see my skeleton Frank who is sitting in his chair for this Halloween season.

I did purchase a new magnolia wreath for my porch. It looks beautiful! If I am able to find some new mums or purchase some faux topiary I will be sure to share a new photo! Happy Autumn!

Rose Canton Vintage Find

Happy Friday!

It is truly amazing that this year is almost over. I don’t know about you, but I am not ready for 2024. Not at all. Yesterday was my monthly lunch with my friend and we went to a new restaurant called Gallery Pastry Shop. It was really good. I like trying to visit new places to eat. Especially when they are near antique stores. 

My quest for beautiful home items continues. I visited a new antique store recently and honestly, I was not really impressed with it, but I did find these gorgeous ginger jars. I thought that they were Rose Medallion…

But it turns out that they are Rose Canton. These are dated from 1960-1980. I was so excited when I saw them under a table at this new antique store. 

 

 

I am loving all of these colors! Such a beautiful combination of the greens, pinks, blues, and creams. Another detail that I really love are the hand painted brush strokes. I was told by Katherine from Pender & Peony that the marks on my jars mean that they were potted in Japan and painted in Hong Kong. 

 

 

When I purchased them I had not decided where they would go yet so I have placed them on my bookcase in my office. I love them there for now. They are quite substantial. I paid $250 for both which I am not sure if I got a good deal or not but I will say this… I do love them! I believe that they are wonderful addition to my home decor. 

You can search for Rose Canton ginger jars on eBay and Etsy. They are everywhere. If you can make an offer, then do it! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Happy Hunting! 

The boutique does have a new arrival! My Blush Cameo Earrings are available to order! They are the perfect pink and feel very comfortable on the ear.
