Corners Of Our Home

-



I have a minor confession to make, I tend to organize my house if I know I am going to take photos for my blog. I need to do this more often so I am more motivated to clean up! Another confession is that I am a horrible gardener! Let see how long our basil and our mint plants will survive.

I hope you are having a great week so far. Busy week for me and I am so glad that we are halfway through the week!

    Your space is so warm and comforting to look at. I would love to live in it as well ;) Everything looks fun (especially the jars of colourful candy!).

    I wish I had the patience with plants - they're definitely beautiful to look at but I can guarantee that they won't live for longer than two days in my house :P

    One of the tricks for Basil is to keep clipping the flowers off. Once basil flowers, the taste degrades and the leaves shrink giving it a 'less lively' appearance and aroma.

    Your home is beautiful. I love the candy jar idea. I might have to borrow it since I have a few apothecary jars I got as a wedding gift which hasn't been used yet.

    I love your collection of candy. I can't find myself keeping a candy collection, I tend to gobble them up in an instant!

    Well Yvonne -- I am no different but we tend to clean up before we have people over. Our house seriously is a mess and beyond repair. Your corner and home always look cozy and inviting.

    I love having access to fresh herb, yours look good and striving. You make me want to start gardening this summer. I used to grow okra, squash, tomatoes and somea herbs before I got pregnant but never have time nor motivation to start again after that.

    Your house is so beautiful! Is that a fake orchid with the bamboo plant or the real one? I love the colors there and what to copy that with my bamboo plant too.
    My plants die often and so I stopped buying them. But Mint is a survivor!

    Such nice photos! I like to organize my place too before I take pics. Love those flower pots, especially the pink one and those containers of candy would not last long in my house, I`d eat them all up!

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
