Basket, Bottles, & Books

Well the kids went back to school today and the house is so quite! I miss them:(
    I played around this weekend with a new vignette for the coffee table in my living room. 
    A new basket from Pottery Barn filled with the other demijohn I recently purchased along with some of my decorating books, a vintage bottle my mom gave me..or should I say I begged her for;)) and a little touch of greenery to fill an empty spot.
  



 This basket is made so nicely and it's very sturdy. It's part of their Mendoza collection. I have quite a few baskets from PB and have been very happy with the quality.
 



 Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Very pretty, Martina! That's a very nice basket and just love all you've placed in it! I can imagine how quiet your house is when the kids in school. How I remember those days! I got over it pretty quickly though! :)

    Martina, what a beautiful vignette! The basket is really gorgeous! The demijohn looks so pretty in it! I remember the days of the kids going back to school. I had three little ones and the house was so quite and I had so much time on my hands that I didn't even know what to do with myself! :)

    I love the warmth of your arrangements on your coffee table with all the different textures. And you're going to be seeing the same decorating book someday when I show you my coffee table fall vignette! Does that ever happen to you...you blog about something and see something similar on another blog around the same time?

    I love that combination you put together! I like how things looked grouped togther in a basket. Makes for easier dusting too! Ha! I know how you feel when the kids go back to school. It takes some getting used to when the house is suddenly "still"!

    Very pretty Martina! I'd love to have a demijohn but they are hard to find in our area, and if you do the price is out of my range. (I'm cheap!!)
