Tuesday's Treasure ~ Ginger Jars

It's been a while since we've gone on a TT&B treasure hunt but I have been hunting and want to bring you up to speed! 
Ginger jars.
Love them.
So many things you can do with them; they go everywhere! While I don't have any surfaces to put them at the moment (another post to come on that, I need some bookshelves!) but that doesn't mean I can't start collecting!

So, here we go. Ginger jars. 
Ginger jars have a long line of history amongst Chinese culture. According to most resources, "A Ginger Jar is shaped with a wide mouth, a domed lid and a bulging, bulbous spherical hand painted body. They come in various styles and sizes and in many different colors. The true Chinese antique Ginger Jar is made of porcelain and hand painted. The jars acquired the name “Ginger Jars” because they often contained ginger (which was one of the most valuable spices at the time) when they were exported to the West."

So my lovelies, Ginger Jar treasures to fill your home on this fine Tuesday!

It's Friday, I'm In Love... with Screen Porches!

Phew, what a long week this has been and boy am I glad it's Friday!
It is no secret that I love sitting outside - in the SUN of course - and sitting on a porch relaxing with friends is one of my favorite things to do.
All of this rain has left me wishing I had a screen porch to spend the evenings on! 
Last week while I was home I was reminded just how much I love a good old fashion screen porch.  My family uses ours all of the time and now that I have not had one for many years I have come to realize just how much I miss being able to sit outside even when it's raining or cold!

So, with a forecast of rain this weekend, I hope you can find a screen porch to post-up on and still enjoy some fresh air! 

Cheers to a Blissful weekend, my dears!

Love the swing on this screen porch!

Waterside Wednesday!

Everything is better waterside! 
After a great day on the beach there is nothing better than a fun dinner with family and friends waterside - with the breeze, view, sunsets.... ahhh, take me away! 
Bliss for sure!

Rustic chic front porch - perfect place for everything!

This bamboo roof will keep you shaded while enjoying a delicious waterside meal!

Lanterns are a stylish way to keep your tablecloth or runner from blowing away in the breeze while dining waterside!

For those who might prefer to dine indoors, these french doors and fabulous porch allow for waterside dining from just inside!

Can you imagine relaxing in this hammock after a fun waterside dinner with friends? Bliss in my book!
