When getting up recently in the middle of the night to make a cup of peppermint tea , I switched on my bedside light and started walking out of the room. I turned back for a second and could see this wonderful glow.
So I went a got my camera and starting taking pictures. Yes, about 3:00 am!
Now, this problem is getting serious dear friends.
I have always loved taking photos, but since blogging
~ I am a bit overzealous!
Is this happening to anyone else? I see so many things during my day to photograph and share. I am pleased with the outcome of these pictures, are you?
An antique silver lamp graced with a needlepoint shade, a beat up candlestick, my dragonfly monoprint,books that are really boxes for easy to grab items, and a Pottery Barn cordless phone all hang out together...
enjoy...Karen

It does cast a lovely glow! And as a very inexperienced blogger I realize (usually too late) that I need to LIVE with a camera around my neck! *winks* Vanna
I hear ya...my camera goes EVERYWHERE with me. But it does cause me to look at the world a little differently. Joy in small things! Just beautiful Karen, beats kleenex and a Nyquil bottle! te he.

The lamp is exquisite and the whole piece is beautifully put together!
I've tried to curb that late night photo session but sometimes you have to seize the moment.
Great pics...it was worth staying up for

Hi there~ I love it. Sometimes the right light, the right time of day, the vignette, etc. it just all comes together and looks beautiful- like this! Thanks for sharing at Feathered Nest Friday! :)
Thank god for those sleepless nights. At least you are taking advantage of the time to create!!!
Beautiful silver. I was actually ATTEMPTING to polish some silver for the first time today. I used Goddards silver foam, and I have some tarnx I haven't tried yet. What do you suggest?
Thanks! I do not polish most of my silver, but if and when I do , I only use Goddards.

Karen,
Beautiful silver! I think your pictures & lighting is perfect. I love your winter white post from earlier. Yes that English Country Living was inspiring. I was going to mention in my post how many more European mags I'm reading these days since we've lost so many here (ME Home Companion, Country Home and others)

Ha, the sun was coming into the living room over the weekend and I ran and got my camera... my husband rolled his eyes! All he said was blogging and laughed at me.
Beautiful pictures! Love the silver...
Blessings
