LIMELIGHT

 Every August I write about how much I love my Limelight Hydrangea.  Here we go again.   Its blooms never disappoint.  This is the view from the street.  It tucks itself perfectly in to the angle of the house.

This next image is looking from the driveway to the street.

Do you have a favorite garden feature?

ELEPHANT DECOR

Do you ever notice that you repeat decor around your home? 

 I just noticed that I have elephants around my house.  LOL  

In our sun room I have a plaster elephant peeking around my bar cart.  I purchased it for one of the Design Houses I did.  It didn't sell, so it was all mine.  I've said this before but sometimes those items that don't sell become my favorites.

I have a similar plaster elephant on my screened porch.  It's much larger with a flat surface so it can serve as a small side table.

I have another Chinoiserie elephant on the railroad cart coffee table.  I mixed him in with the blue and white ginger jars.

One of my favorite elephant finds is this mache elephant from Anthropologie. 

 Originally it was in my kitchen.

He's since moved to the laundry/pantry.

I'm not done yet.  I decoupaged an elephant image on some book spines.

ELEPHANT ON BOOK SPINES

One of my favorite additions to my new kitchen was the appliance garage.  You can see my elephant mugs on the top shelf.  FYI, that majolica lettuce leaf teapot is my sugar bowl.

Even though I always love the things that don't sell, there are many who get away.  This elephant bookend was one of those I wished I had kept.
