At long last, after living in our home for a year, we finally got it together enough to throw a party worth calling a "housewarming". I, of course, had to finish an installation or two in the house and fix a couple of paint chips in order to have a crowd over. One part of the house I finished was the second floor hallway, in which I installed an Edward Gorey art piece, taken from his book The Gashlycrumb Tinies. It turned out to be far more work than I had expected, but well worth the effort.
I also took a case of pickle canning jars I had in the garage and made lanterns with green floral wire, some pebbles and tea light candles.
And of course, as with any event...flowers are essential.
Even some of my old standby plants seemed to perk up for the occasion.
It was well worth all the hard work. The house has never looked better, and it sure was a fun party!
