What's It Wednesday #172

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

I found this ornate mirror at an Antique shop. I couldn't resist it because it was a perfect compliment to the Jewelry Book from India.

 Mirror, Mirror on the Vanity

Antique mirrored vanity trays add just the right touch.

This faux mirrored window balances the real window on the other side of the bed. 

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

A vintage mirror, from India, greets you as you enter the guest bathroom.

Before leaving the house, you can primp once more in this ebony mirror, also from India. Of course you know I fell in love with the elephants.

Mirror, Mirror on the Buffet

A silver mirrored buffet tray adds elegance to my kid's sweets stand.

When you can't find a mirrored buffet tray, an antique mirrored vanity tray will do just fine.

Please share with us your favorite ways to decorate with mirrors!

How Enchanting!

What's It Wednesday #171

What a treat I received in the mail Saturday! Do you see all this yummy wonderfulness? I opened the box and the fun began.

Three pretty bags and the sweetest little card.

All from darling Stephanie at "The Enchanting Rose". She does random giveaways from the links to her fabulous "Roses of Inspiration" Party that she hosts each Tuesday. Lucky me, I was the winner! Let's see what all I won.

 The first bag, just perfect for a blogger, is this lovely journal with birds. I'm always jotting down ideas for posts or projects that I want to do. What a lovely and organized way to corral my thoughts.

 Next was this beautiful set of tags (love that bling), and wonderful drawstring bag perfect for gift giving. Notice the lace and pretty pins. So romantic!

 The last bag holds these gorgeous note cards and sweet little bird embellishments. Didn't I tell you I was lucky!?

Thank you so much Stephanie. What a wonderful surprise. Random acts of kindness prove the love and generosity that is still found in the world.

Hugs,

Patti

What's It Wednesday #170

Hard to believe but we at Ivy & Elephants have recently celebrated our 4th blogiversary. According to Hallmark the fourth anniversary is celebrated with fruits and flowers. So this week we will reflect on the last four years of our posts that featured fruits and flowers.
