I was rearranging and fluffing my nest today
I decided to fill my enamel pitcher with lilacs from my front yard
I love their beautiful smell and color
I took a favorite old photo of my grandfather and simply tucked it under some twine on one of my lavender sachets from Dreamy Whites
Another photo of him I just casually placed on the plate next to the bowl
It's a simple way to display old photos
I think it makes a pretty and personal vignette
I put another old photo inside a petite white frame made from reclaimed wood
I love the chippy patina
Overall I am very happy with how it all came together
Simple and pretty
Thank you so much for your sweet Mothers Day comments
I hope you all had a wonderful day
Hugs,
Rachel

Very beautiful! I love the living area. Serene and peaceful. Have a great day!
oh my gosh, I just LOVE your house! I love when you show us full pictures...I get lots of good ideas. :)
This is such a good idea - I always struggle with photos. I like them but think they seem busy and have a hard time displaying them. I love that this is so simple and doesn't scream photo.
Very pretty!
What a lovely vignette you have put together! Putting the little photo tucked into the pillow bundle is a great idea! I have an order from Maria arriving soon & I am so excited about it! Aren't lilacs the best? I hope mine will last awhile! Have a nice week!

Lara :)
I just love the little photo tucked into the sachet Rachel...it looks so pretty! I can't wait for the lilacs to bloom here, they're one of my favorite flowers. Hope you're having a good week :)

Hi there !! I have found my rugs at flea markets, there is one really great flea market, that is where i bought 3 of them, the other two i bought from vintage shop, but they also came from the same flea market !! they are very hard to come by, one actually is an old prayer rug , it is torn, and really old, i love it so much !! thanks so much !!

What a beautiful blog you have. I wish you had introduced yourself, instead I had to track you down.
Now that I've found you....
Rachel,
I've not been over in a bit. I love your header! So me, yet it's yours :)
Fun taking a peek into your home. I don't believe I've seen this part of your house. It's beautiful and quaint! I love the lilacs and the old photo of your grandpa.
Hope you're having a great week!
XO,

Rachel - your home is sooooo pretty! I adore the way you display things. ♥ Simple, sweet and serene. I'm saving these photos for my inspiration file! You do realize that your style and talent rivals Maria at Dreamy Whites, don't you? :) Luv it!

Such beautiful lilacs and what a wonderful way to display them ~ I LOVE IT ;-)
Absolutely beautiful!
What a sweet little photo! I love lilacs, when I was growing up we had massive bushes. Gorgeous photos as always. xoxo Debra
Mmmm so pretty!
Simpley pretty! Lilacs don't grow here in Orlando or Peonies. That make me sad.
You encourged me today!
...very chippy pretty...love your images♥
absolutely love that pop of lilac colour against the beautiful white backgrounds. I was just mentioning on my own blog today how I just cant go past a white backdrop of walls. I am seriously considering selling all my furniture and starting over again! Thats whats great about being a vintage merchant :0)
