<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">What's It Wednesday #200</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">I am all charged up because it is our <b>200th What's It Wednesday Linky Party</b>. Time certainly flies when you're having fun. Speaking of being "all charged up", I am super excited to share my latest "thinking outside the box" decorating solution.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">The weather has been rainy and gloomy lately and I was determined to keep the winter decor light and bright. I thought of that last year and it truly kept us from feeling blah during the winter months. My great-grandmother's table and buffet are quite dark and my husband does not like it when I place a table cloth over it. So I had to think of something. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">One of my dear friends and neighbor said that she had never been to the Ikea. She is looking for organizational and storage solutions so off we went. While we were there we spotted these "chargers".</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Well my dears, they aren't actually chargers at all. They are...wait for it...candle plates. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">It was the perfect addition to break up the darkness of the table and lighten up the room. I couldn't even tell you how many sets of chargers I have. I just absolutely love them! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">The chargers I have range from high-end silver ones I inherited from an Aunt, wooden, porcelain, stoneware, and the cheapie plastic gold ones you find in places like Michaels during Christmas. Now I have added candle plates as chargers to my collections of chargers. Chargers have been around quite along time, in fact since the 19th century. They are also known as "under plates". </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">In addition to beautifying the table they have a more practical purpose of protecting your table and tablecloth from becoming dirty from the food or effected by the heat of the food. They enhance any place setting. Each one of these <strike><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80239979/">Skurar candle plates</a></strike> chargers is like a burst of cream sunshine on the table. I am so glad I visited my local <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80239979/">Ikea</a> with my friend. Now you know why I am "all charged up". </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">What's It Wednesday #198</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Happy New Year blogland family! From the beginning of the new year I started off planning organization, entertaining, and decorating projects. Of course it teeters off by the end of the summer. I wanted to buy some new garden chairs but Santa took all of my money. I did the next best thing...a refurb, a redo, a what-ever-you-want-to-call-it, in an effort to save money and start my first project of the new year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I had two very heavy iron chairs my Mom gave us. Once upon a time they were a beautiful dark gray. I wanted new iron chairs, but they are a bit pricey. So I ran down to my local Lowes and got sand paper, tarp, 3 cans of Valspar Outdoor Spray Paint in white, and face masks. Hubby bought seat cushions and pillows. I am so proud of him!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I first sanded down each chair. Truth be told I went to Lowes twice. I initially bought 1 can of spray paint thinking that would be more than enough. It took a can and a 1/2 for each chair. Once the sanding was completed, I spray painted the chairs and voila.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">We are surrounded by beautiful nurseries and farms. My son and daughter chose these beautiful orchids to hang from the tree near the nearly new garden chairs. Wish me luck with those please. I really don't have a green thumb when it comes to orchids but they will be my 2016 challenge. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">By the way, apparently I am accident prone because the other day I accidentally fell inside a Home Goods and then accidentally found a metal garden table and brought it home. Perfect project companion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 36pt;">First make sure your home is clean from top to bottom, it symbolizes the ridding of evil spirits and a fresh start to the New Year. My mother always swept and mopped the whole house and threw the water out the front door cleaning out the old year. She always bought a new broom to start the year, "Nothing sweeps clean like a new broom!"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 36pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 36pt;">Now comes the most important part, the food. Pork is the meat of choice. Why? Pigs root forward, signifying progress, unlike chickens or turkeys which scratch backward. I usually serve ham.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 36pt; line-height: 107%;">For sides, you must serve greens (they represent money) and black-eyed peas (or Hoppin' John) for good luck. My mom always put a dime in for extra luck for the person who found it. (No, no one even swallowed it!) You should eat 365 peas, one for good luck each day of the New Year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 36pt;">While the champagne chills, (very auspicious for toasting the New Year) dress in your “new” (very important) finery, even down to underwear which should be yellow (like gold) for prosperity in your personal finances or red if you want to find a soulmate or have an amorous year. Be sure to carry a stash of money in your person to ensure economic success.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 36.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The 1<sup>st</sup> day of the New Year is symptomatic of the next 364. People try to spend it in the best possible way, in the company of friends and family. But, if the doorbell rings and your first visitor is a tall dark-haired man, welcome him in. It’s another good luck omen!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">This year I fell into Autumn differently than I had in the past. I decided to balance the typical Autumn colors of brown, orange, and yellow with creams and whites.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">The dining room table, that use to belong to my great-grandmother Helen, is very dark. Adding creams and silver made the table quite a bit more cheery.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">The individual pumpkins for each place setting was a perfect find at Home Goods and the leaf napkins rings from Pier One Imports also brightened up the table.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Two of my besties joined me for a Fall Lunch Bunch. We all wanted Asian food, so we ordered in from the local Japanese & Thai restaurant and chilled a couple of bottles of wine.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">We tend to eat at the kitchen bar when we gather together to catch-up on old times. This year I combined Asian flair with Autumn decor.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">We love to add a fruit salad to every meal. The small bowl was perfect for the fresh strawberries I picked up from the farmers market for the girls. Orange, browns, and mustard accented with silver seems to be the fall colors I chose this year. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">I couldn't decide which two of our favorite Thai noodle dishes to order, so I ordered both the Thai Noodles with Spicy Peanut Sauce and Pad Thai. Why complicate things? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;">It is what is known as a "sweetmeat" dish. They've been produced since the 18th century and were designed to hold small dessert treats such as sugared nuts and fruits. They can be found in various materials from porcelain to silver. Did you guess the "sweet" find?</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">At the end of each day, I retreat to my reading nook. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">This little comfy spot is where I love to unwind and reflect on the day.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">This reading nook sits in the corner of my bedroom next to a window. The tufted navy chair was a Mother's Day gift from my husband. It is super comfy, in fact if I am not careful I have been known to have fallen asleep within five minutes of sitting in the chair. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I inherited this beautiful antique table from an Aunt. Every evening I light a candle, then grab hand lotion and lip balm from the drawer. I love to grab a mint from the tray and relax with a book, magazine, or my iPad.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Above the chair are two large frames from Kirklands with black and white photos of the family. Constant reminders of my blessings.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Candles always put me in the mood to relax. Lavender candles are my favorite.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Below the chair is a book box from Michaels that houses my manicure set, tweezers, and other small essentials. The basket has a wonderful soft throw that I wrap around when I am reading. Underneath the throw, in the basic, is a bottle of oil (usually olive oil) and perfumed lotion. Before I read, in addition to pampering my hands with hand lotion, I pamper my legs, feet, and arms. Also I have a headset for when I want to watch a video, movie, listen to music, or FaceTime a family member or friend. My reading nook is my personal sanctuary...when the kids aren't sitting it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;">This week is a real What's It Wednesday! From time to time I like to share a few unique items just to keep you guessing. I've chosen these five fab finds to test your wits. If you want to play, make your guesses before you scroll down. Hint, this strikes every Victorian lady's fancy!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;"><span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;">This is a tussie mussie or posy holder. Perfect for one bloom or a small nosegay.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;"><span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;">This darling is a vinaigrette. You soak a sponge with your favorite scent and when unpleasant odors arise, a lady would wave it under her nose for relief.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;"><span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;">It gets a little harder. This is in rose gold and delicately carved. The ring slides up and down to adjust and open the clasp. It's a skirt lifter. Gather a little of the hem of the gown and away you dance. How elegant and refined!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;"><span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;"><br /></span></span>

The small ring slips on your pinky and the larger one holds the hankie. It can be tucked up a sleeve for hands free dancing. It's beautifully chased and engraved with Ms. Evie Alton's name.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 37.3333px; line-height: 39.9467px;">Who's a pretty bird? Why this painted rooster of course! He usually sits up high above the cabinets, I brought him down for his close up.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Upon a recent visit from her, I decided to take out the pouch and we went through it together. Some of the items I had seen since I was a child like this World War II plane. My grandmother made it when she worked on airplanes for the Naval Air Station during the war effort. She carved NAS on one wing and 1944 on the other. She gave it to my Uncle when he was a kid. Later it sat in her shadowbox for years. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">What's It Wednesday #180</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Summer has come and pretty much gone, especially for those of us ready to send our kids back-to-school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This summer I put forth every effort to eat well. As my kids indulged in cheese toast on Jamaican Hard-dough bread, I took advantage of the delicious fruit that was in season and available. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I had fun with new breakfast dishes as well. Making these baked egg white and spinach mini-omelletes in a muffin pan was a huge hit with the family. Super simple and delicious.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When it comes to cauliflower, a good Indian recipe guarantees my kids will ask for seconds and thirds. Aloo Gobi (Potato and Cauliflower Masala) is a family favorite. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My mother-in-law taught me how to make my husband's favorite roti. Aloo Paratha is a flat bread with seasoned potatoes in the center. I have substituted the refined white grounded grains for whole wheat flour. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Bhindi is the best way I can get the little ones to eat okra and eat it with gusto. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We aren't big meat eaters so we tend to eat quite a bit of beans and lentils for protein. Black beans are one of our favorites so this black bean and corn salad was a big hit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On the occasions when we had chicken we tend to throw it on a salad and always throw in fruit that is season. Fresh mango or papaya is usually the go to fruit. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hv7gPdfzX7g/VdUg6E0XZaI/AAAAAAAAHvs/VjN6vn7y5nc/s1600/edimame.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hv7gPdfzX7g/VdUg6E0XZaI/AAAAAAAAHvs/VjN6vn7y5nc/s640/edimame.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love edamame. I could eat it every single day. So making it at home is the perfect snack.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Speaking of snacks, the kids get a kick out of making Kale chips. It disappears in less than five minutes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Kale and spinach are my go-to greens for my morning smoothies. Adding pear puts the smooth in smoothies.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GxMytAlC8X4/VdUg5xKzclI/AAAAAAAAHvk/EheN3nxJHh0/s1600/Quinoa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GxMytAlC8X4/VdUg5xKzclI/AAAAAAAAHvk/EheN3nxJHh0/s640/Quinoa.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love red quinoa and I love couscous so mixing them together was the perfect treat. This summer I was introduced to a grain I knew nothing about. Farro is now one of my new delicious go to grains. I absolutely love the nutty flavor of Farro. So this salad with red quinoa, couscous and faro with cucumbers, orange peppers and red onions was absolutely delicious. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">This summer I was able to balance quite a bit of beans and lentils with some of my favorite fruits. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 37.3333320617676px; line-height: 39.9466667175293px;">This gorgeous tray caught my eye in an antique store and I couldn't leave without it. From a distance I thought it was a painted tray, but as I got closer the incredible detail was breathtaking!</span></div>

Now I know this is just a tray made to serve tea or a small snack, but for me, it's a piece of art and a connection to bygone days.</span></div>
