Easy To Hang Decorative Plates

May 10, 2013 By Meegan 20 Comments

Hello Hello!!  I have been missing a lot lately.  This flu bug will not leave me alone.  At all.  We also had 2 of the grand kiddos here for a visit, so I have been recuperating and playing “go fish”.  We had fun, but now I am excited to be posting for you again.

Now, on to the most simple idea ever…Easy to hang decorative plates.  I mean, easy.

Don’t you just love the look of plates hanging on a wall?   I really do and finally found these 3 plates while thrifting a few weeks ago.  At 75 cents each, I couldn’t pass them up.  I mean, blue plates-I needed them now!!

I could picture them hanging above our pantry door.  It is a small space, but needed a little pizzazz.  These plates were the answer.  I like how they don’t match perfectly.  Two are from the same pattern, but still a little different.

My Visit to The Floral Market With a Few Floral Tips

March 16, 2013 By Meegan 11 Comments

On Thursday, my cute friend Barbara and I ventured to the Floral Market.  From that visit I thought I would share my visit to the floral market with a few floral tips. Barbara is hosting an outdoor bridal shower today and wanted fresh flowers for her tablescapes and centerpieces.  I can never resist a visit to the floral market and Spring blossoms, so off we went!

*This blog post was updated October 2025.

A tip for floral market newbies: You will be walking into a refrigerator.  A refrigerator so cold you will need a coat.  Really, you will.  It is c-o-l-d where the flowers are stored. As we walked in, these lovely roses caught our eye.

Copy Cat Chandy

January 26, 2013 By Meegan 48 Comments

At Christmas I gave you a tour of our home and some tips on how to decorate under $3.  That’s what I did with my “copy cat” chandy in our bedroom…

I saw this from Oh So Shabby by Debbie:

I mean-seriously this is so beautiful, right??  All of the greenery, extra ornaments, and I love the sticks, too.

My dear friend Judi gave me this chandelier last summer.  I know!!  She gave it to me!!  Such an awesome friend.  I could hardly wait to hang it in our bedroom.

Anyway, after being inspired with Debbie’s chandy, I knew I need to add something to my new “pretty”, too.

I just love me a gorgeous chandelier, don’t you??  And did you notice the matching candelabra?  Sweet!

I got to work on my copy cat chandy with a few items I already had.  I gathered everything together and tarted to “play” with my copy cat chandy.

I used tulle, glittered icicles, tree twigs, pearl strings, and greenery that was in my kitchen to make my own:

And, I like it so much, I think I will keep it up all year long!!  I can’t even think of taking it all apart.  I just love this look, don’t you?

The added embellishments are not permanent, so I can add to or change it up any time I want.

So, for zero cost I decked out  my chandy.  All it took was a little imagination and creativity!!

Don’t you just love being able to being some added *bling* to your own pretties every once in awhile??  I sure do!!

Thanks for visiting today!!  I smile when I know you have been by for a visit!!  Come back again soon…
