white love affair.....

I'm not going to lie.

I've been having an affair.

my hubby said it's not really an affair if i haven't been cheating.....so i guess i have not been cheating but more like coveting....or collecting......or .....really just admiring.

I'm allowed to admire.....and collect.

Are you allowed to admire and collect?

yup.......hubby just said ...admiring is o.k.

though he wishes i wouldn't collect so much.

o.k.




I have a small {admired} collection of white pitchers......oh yes....it's small alright....but it's slowly growing....

and i've been collecting them on my antique shoe rack......

the rack my hubby bought me for mothers day.......

and i just realized i haven't shown it to you yet.



....what a sweet hubby to buy it for me on Mothers day huh!?

He was really surprised when he came home and saw it. I guess i should have told him that it was my mothers day gift.







I think my antique shoe rack is the perfect place to {admire} my collection of white pitchers ........





one day i will have this whole rack filled with white pitchers.....and i will invite you over and fill them up with White Sangria ......then we can sit and talk about our {admiration's} and {collections}.

What do you think?

Janelle said...

I love white pitchers too, but a bit more beat up than that...like metal distressed pitchers. The wooden shoe rack is right up my alley. Love the look of that. The whole display is so divine.

I always believe that the best gifts others give us are the ones they didn't realize they were giving!! lol!!

Love the shoe rack and the white pitchers look amazing on it!

Laurel @ Ducks in a Row said...

Love your shoe rack and would love to see it filled up! My small collection of white pitchers has to sit ontop of my kitchen cabinets until my little ones are not so little.

Jeanne Oliver said...

I was wondering how you pulled that purchase off! What a generous man to give it to you for Mother's Day:-)

The white pitchers are so pretty. I love white dishes of any variety. mmmmmmmm. But I adore your clock faces on the wall above the shoe rack (which I also adore...sweet hubby) I am still jealous of them. ;-)

Anonymous said...

ohh! I do that too! I have 5 so far. Where do you find such prettttty ones?

mimi charmante said...

Sometimes the best gifts are ones that take so little effort on your husband's part... Really, they should be thanking us for taking the pressure off, don't you think?

Tracy ~Seeking Refinement~ said...

DAMN...I bet you didn't even have that on your Mother's Day wish list....and he just 'found' it! lucky.

as for the white pitchers...they would be the PERFECT containers for WHITE SANGRIA. Come to Pasadena, and I will take you to my FAV restaurant and we can 'test a recipe'.

Seriously. come to pasadena.

You had me at white pitchers with blue paint on the walls. Then came the shoe rack - and I'm a goner. Then came the rolled-up burlap and if I wasn't already gone, well, I'd really be gone.

Marty@A Stroll Thru Life said...

The antique shoe rack is just gorgeous and so are the pitchers. I love them. So pretty. Hugs, Marty

Now, I realize that this is only what I see on a blog and there may perhaps be life craziness that happens there :) but a girl can dream! :)

White gets to me more as the heat of summer beats me up. I think its the coolness of the purity. Enjoy your affair de coeur..

tracey said...

I don't know how you do it, but that adorable house of yours just keeps looking more and more amazing! How fun that you found a new collection, I mean really, what would we do if we didn't have some new collection to obsess over?! Love all of it:)

Loving the shoe rack... I'll be over for the Sangria as your collection grows ;)

Sarah said...

I love it! The rack and the pitchers! I also love the play by play of blogging with hubby over your shoulder or calling out from the next room...it sounds very familiar! I usually get the "who are you typing to now?" call from the kitchen. :)

Sadie Olive said...

Super cute. Yours is so pretty, I like the extra slats, and your treasures on them!

Anonymous said...
