I tried to do a copy cat of Carol's display over at Art and Sand...You all know she is a wonderful stylist. She can arrange her whole house in a short time. She's very clever with her designs . She showed us blue and white dishes yesterday....well I thought, "Oh how cute, I am going to try that. "
It's a gray day here and the lighting is awful. I tried no lights, then turned on the dining room lights. Talk about copying...I saw a little cow pitcher at Linda's itsy bits and pieces, then just had to have one. LOL
I had a blue willow dish and cup, old white platter, blue/white ball, fake candle, old pitcher, and some faux forsythia. With dining room lights.
Without the lights, and changing up the cow creamer and sphere on the little yellow pedestal. I tried the candle in the teacup for many shots.
Put the sphere on top of the candle, flipped the pedestal and put the cup on it. Put the pitcher in back with the plate.
This is how I left it. I think this will work for a week or two...then onto another vignette. I must tell Carol coping isn't as easy as I thought it would be. :):) But it was fun.
Rain in our forecast today and tomorrow. Bummer...we do not need it. Ted has mowed twice in one week. Hope you are safe today. Please send good thoughts or prayers for those who have been in the floods or tornadoes. XO
Copycatting is really fun..I love doing it. You did really good, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you BJ. I am going to have to try this more often. LOL. I do like to do copies of outfits. Hope you are having a fun weekend. It's chilly here today. Brr. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGood job. You are so cute! I wish she would come visit me and rearrange things. Things have been the same here for 13 years. (With a few small exceptions, that is.)
ReplyDeleteNonnie, Some people just have the knack to pull anything together. I know what I like...but at times it's hard to explain or make it work. LOL. My gosh, you made me laugh...if I find a way that things work, I will usually leave it that way forever. :):) When I was younger, I used to move my furniture around all the time. Now I move items...not that heavy furniture. :):)_Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt looks so pretty and Springy! I featured you and your wonderful blog on Shout Out Saturday today my friend.
ReplyDeletePatty, Thank you so much...you are a sweetie. I may try a few more of coping from Carol. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove the display Susie !
ReplyDeleteBlue and white are always my favorite :)
Hugs,
~Jo
Jo, I love seeing the vignettes you make also. I enjoyed doing this, may have to give it a go again soon. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGreat "copy"...love blue with the yellow which is cheerful!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
warmly,
deb
Thank you Deb. I really have a ton of blue and white dishes. But only that one blue willow dish and cup. :):) Hope you are having a nice weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, great copy of a wonderful blue and yellow vignette! I'm crazy about that little cow, adorable!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday!
Nancy
Nancy, Since I bought this little cow, I have seen them on blogs in many colors. I have fun doing this copy of Carol's pretty setting. Blessings to you. Hope you are doing well this weekend. xoxo, Susie
Deletebeautiful blue and white, my favorite combo! Already cut the grass twice ,, wow!!!!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, It strange that I have lots of blue and white things to decorate with and rarely use them. My best china is blue and white. Yes, Ted said, he thought the lawn man over did the fertilizer. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Ssie
DeleteI like this a lot. I've got one of the Delft cow creamers, too. I'm answering your question about the price of coffee in the post I'm writing now.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, I have seen many of those little cow creamers since I bought this one. They are so cute...but does anyone use them for cream? :):) I am going to check out your post. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI really like it
ReplyDeleteThank you Kuni. It was fun to try the copy...I may be doing more of that. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a cute little vignette! You didn't really copy, you made it your own. The blue, yellow and white look perfect together.
ReplyDeleteKathy, I laughed at myself...this coping was fun..but near as easy as I thought it would be. I can copy putting clothes together better. Hope you are having a good weekend. It's actually chilly here today. Raining too. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt looks very pretty! I love these colors together. We sure could use some rain but it's HOT here now! Lots of hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteDiane, The weather seems to be in all the wrong places any more. I know that Texas has huge amounts of rain...but one blog friend in Texas says they could use some rain, as the wind is blowing dust around. It's been a crazy weather year so far. Hope you do not get too hot too soon. I wish that here also. Blessings, to you and your husband, xoxo, Susie
DeleteVery pretty and springy! Blue and white is what we chose for our dishes when we actually picked out dishes for ourselves, as opposed to using the dishes my mother earned in grocery store points back in the day!! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJenn, I remember my aunt getting dishes and towels in detergent when I was a kid.:) I bought myself some blue heron china . I have often thought I should have bought all white dishes then brighten it up with accent colors and linens. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie ~ What a lovely tablescape. I love it and that little cow creamer is so adorable. I gave my daughter a little cow crock with knife for a cube of butter.
ReplyDeleteWanda, Thank you. I would love to see the cow crock you gave your daughter. When I saw a cow creamer on Linda's blog I wanted one and found it shortly after. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteCarol truly is talented! But you my friend did a great job as well. I have a cow and many of the same things. Hmmmm, I was going to sell them all next week at Fleology vintage sale. May have to thing twice. lol!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Hi Jann, I see lots of your pics on Carol's blog when you ladies do the party. I love my cow creamer. I can't believe how badly I wanted one after seeing Linda's. :)You might want to keep that cow. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love this! You are very good at copy catting!! I love the cow creamer!! It is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Gert
Hi Gert. I do love this silly cow creamer....I did not know there were so many different kinds out there. I am going to try to use my treasures more. Blessings, xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteYes, I like the last arrangement. I wish I could do settings like that but my laptop lives on my table right now along with a bunch of papers so I am out of luck. It is still so cold and gloomy here....warming up by weeks' end tho.
ReplyDeleteLinda, You should see how I stack stuff when sorting ..it seems as if I am a hoarder...I wonder where did it all come from. :) Today is trying to be sunny , now at 5:00 PM. Sunny days are my favorite. :) Blessings to you my friend. I hope your week will be a good one. I know you are to have a procedure and I am praying for good results. xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteHi Susie and I apologize for being unable to comment lately - computer problems! This is a pretty vignette. I love the cow creamer but do not have one yet! I wish I had the knack for decorating. We are having thunderstorms today and the house is kinda dark and dreary. God bless your evening.
ReplyDeleteHi Mildred, I knew you having some problems with your computer. I hope they get worked out. Some times I can do well decorating and other times...I do not what I am doing. :) Blessings to you and your husband . xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove all these blue and white pieces, Susie. For some reason, the blue china is the prettiest to me. My wedding china was even in blue.
ReplyDeleteIt's very windy here yesterday. Oh yes, I heard about the tornadoes, Yikes!
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, When I was a kid , I always thought blue willow was such a pretty pattern. I have something like it, called blue heron. That's my good china. I had fun playing with this little vignette. We went to the basement , last night(Sunday) tornado warnings. Thankfully everything just went over and no damage. Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOH, Susie,
ReplyDeleteMay you never grow beyond that wonderful childhood creativity to "Play with things." It's such a blessing to keep finding new beauty in stuff we've had and used and put away and thought of again. And going around the house to "find" things is like a sweet treasure hunt, discovering wonderful items to go together, or set each other off, or just because you got a yen to live with them some more.
What a lovely study in blue and white---the yellow adds a bright note of sunshine, as well.
Hope y'all are drying out---we are, and we spent a wonderful afternoon at Lawrence Central's performance of The Music Man.
Stay happy,
rachel
Rachel, I know what you are saying about stay "young" by enjoy what life has to offer...such as digging around in our own treasures and making fun table settings. If you went to Lawrance Central's play...you must live very close to Tipton. :):) Glad you enjoyed yourself. I love going to school programs , concerts, and plays. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSuper cute, I love your little vignette!!! Rain here, too...but we DO need it!
ReplyDeleteWe really had rain last night(Sunday), tonado warnings. We went to the basement for about 20 minutes. But thankfully everything was fine. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo pretty and I love copycatting as well. You and I are more alike than you know sweet friend. I'm always up for new ideas and decor. Hugs, xo
ReplyDeleteSusie, I tease Linda at Linda Life Journal about us being lost sisters...maybe we are too. LOL. I have met people through blogging that I just love and do not know them personally. I swore I would not get attached....but that went to the way side...I already love so many of you. We are a new kind of family, don't you think? Blessings, love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour vignette is charming, Susie...I love the color combination of blue and white, with yellow! And your cow is a pretty one! Thanks for the sweet shout-out!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am pretty sure you were the one with the little cow pitcher that made me want one. I have seen many different colors since then. :):) I had fun playing around with this vignette. Hope you are doing well and having nice weather. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
