Cottage Style Brown

Hello Dear Friends, This month the color is brown in honor of autumn and fall. What lovely shades are ahead for us this month.
I will start off with this cheese box, which I painted a few years back. I treasure this box and think it brings a flavor of the past into today's life.


We live in an old Spanish style house and when I saw this painting just had to have it cause thought it went so well here. Have another one a different style but same idea. It's like going down a street in Spain, have never been there but have seen pictures.


Now this brown glass duck belonged to my Godmother and it's vintage. Actually had a pair but clumsy me broke the other one. I was so upset at myself.

We have had this vintage clock for many years. It still chimes on the half hour and the hour. Hope it continues to work so we can enjoy it for years to come.

This is my husband's favorite candy. It's from Trader Joe and it's chocolate covered cranberries. I cannot eat chocolate, so its all for him, he says...Yea!

Hope you have enjoyed the items that I have in brown, well do have a few more, but for now this is enough. Please visit the other gals that are also showing their browns.

  11. Hi Lu,
    Thanks so much for your lovely visit.
    I think your post for ECS and the color brown is perfect. The cheese box you painted is beautiful and the colors are rich. I know you have quite the talent.
    I am sure your clock will bring joy to your hearts weather it's running or not, it's just one of those pieces that makes a home a home.
    The same for your vintage family lamp.
    I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and maybe one day you will make it to Spain. Until then, you always have your pretty picture, Char

  12. Youbrowns are so lovely and romantic. Love the swan. I understand about breaking treasures all too well. I usually try to repair them or restyle them into a different treasure....if I'm lucky they come out with a new sense of survival.
    Wishing you a wonderful weekend ♥
