winter potpourri and a new linky party

I have started following a new blog called

"Old Time Farmhouse".

Today Cindy is hosting an "Old Time Party"

and she is having a give away too!

Cindy hosts this party and give away on the first Friday of every month.

If you like farmhouse or cottage style pop on over to see Cindy's blog. {linked at bottom of post}

I have been redecorating for winter here in the frozen north where we have an abundance of snow already on the ground and bitterly cold temperatures.

I combined parts of two bags of potpourri and put them in this vintage bowl.

This bowl was my grandmother's and is about a foot in diameter.  It has a silver inlay pattern on the inside which appears white on the outside.

{I haven't polished the silver in a long time}

One bag of potpourri had mostly cones and wood elements with bits of greens and the other bag had white painted pods and bits and bobs with a silver sparkly snowflake.  I really like this second bag of potpourri but as the name suggests it also has a scent which is very overwhelming.  i.e...not nice!

I am hoping that the scent will gradually dissipate

because I really like the look of this bowl of potpourri.  It's perfect for winter.

Come on over and visit

Old Time Farmhouse. 

Take a tour around and enter her draw.

Have a wonderful weekend!
