So here is our
Expedit in all of it's glory. I'm very happy with this arrangement of the vignettes, but I will probably get bored with them in a year or so and rearrange. My previous design had a lot more brown and yellow, I think the use of more white this time around has helped it to be visually lighter.
The display on top I redesign more often, usually at least once a season. Right now I have it set for summer. The garland was made by my sister Julia, the ivory partridges are from a funny antique store in Ohio, and the birdcages from my local antique haunts. I want about 10 more birdcages, all in different shades of white. Wouldn't they look marvelous, all lined up in a pretty row?

no, actually one of the bird cages was from your sister Annie on one of her antique hunts. . .
I thought you or Julia had given me the pure white one! Couldn't remember, sorry.
Thanks to you I have been spending my free minutes during naptime looking for milk glass on ebay and etsy. :) Hannah's mother in-law has tons of it and she is always telling Hannah to take it. If only...
There's some great stuff online, but the shipping can be ridiculous. Try thrift stores too! Most of my vases have come from Goodwill.
Sounds like Hannah needs to get some of that milkglass and pass some on to you... that would be the best re-gifting ever!
Yeah, I didn't order any yet, but I have great visions in my head of where I could put it without Oliver being able to get at it. :)
And yes! I told her she should get me some, so we will see. :)
