Friday morning scenes from the OneTwoFour.

I’m rolling into the weekend nuptials, all gas no brakes. For now I’ll just enjoy the serenity of my morning green space, stunning blue skies, a fresh mugga & the sound of birds playing in their bath. #theweddingofficiant #lifebythebay #greenspacesmatter

Peaceful Sunday morning to you Gerry. Here’s a few views from our green space. #lifebythebay
A large, deep green ceramic planter pot is filled with geraniums and canna lilies, which are all blooming. The pot is sitting on top on vintage concrete wall. Below, you can see a little bit of grass and some other ornaments in the garden. A garden ornament made out of concrete a well defined garden pixie with wings that form a slight bit of a feeder for seeds for birds and squirrels. This is a very vintage looking piece and it is extremely weathered. It is sitting upon some vintage concrete that is very aged and very patina. You can see a bit of undergrowth behind the statue. A black flower pot sitting upon the base of an umbrella on a deck. The flower pot is filled with several types of flowers, yellow daisy type of flowers pink petunias, and canna lilies are all blooming. You can see green grass in the background and the base of a wooden deck underneath the weights that the black bar is sitting on. A ceramic pot filled with flowers. The pot is sitting on the corner of a deck, and you can see grass in the background. The pot is filled with flowers, pink begonias, purple begonias, and some trailing greens. It is all very abundant.

Finally we got a sunny, and calm enough of a day to put our little bow rider, Baybe, into the bay. It was blue skies as far as we could see so it was a fun kick about. Cue the summer weather. The bay is whispering…

I have a love affair with dessert plates. I have collected them for years from all over the world, for different occasions & themes. I like to use them in the decor around my house. Today, Valentine’s Day plates have turned up on the plate shelf in our DR. #LifeByTheBay #PrettyThings
Four dessert size plates themed by Valentine’s Day. Each plate has a pink edge around the plate and in the centre of each plate is a caricature drawing of a woman drawn in pink‘s reds and whites, posing. Each plate has a separate pose and has expressions on them like be mine, let’s have Cosmos Four heart shaped dessert plates one is white. One is light pink one is dark pink one is red each plate in the centre has a small heart, and it says be mine, love you more, I’m yours, love you more.

Scenes from my kitchen. It’s snowing outside and it’s sizzling inside. You cannot go wrong with a cast iron skillet pizza, giving it a Chicago deep dish vibe & some ‘killa crunch around the edge.

As I begin to bring in more holiday decor I’ve really come to appreciate these little wicker greywashed hallway baskets. They are so handy & versatile for quick seasonal decor. From forsythia, to tulips, to peonies to Chinese lanterns to holiday greenery, for the win! #DecorAtHome #LifeByTheBay
