Organic Apples, Carnations, & Vintage Monogrammed Linen

Hi Everyone, Happy Monday!
I had a fabulous Sunday. It was spent with my husbands family filled with lots of delicious food like carne asada, homemade mexican rice,  homemade pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting, I know, it was amazing!!, and great company. My sister-in-law's sister was there as well and gave us a bag full of yummy little organic green apples from her apple tree. They looked so pretty in my ironstone bowl that I thought I'd take a few photos.
Enjoy.

 






I got this this monogrammed linen towel from Debbie a couple of weeks ago. These are my new obsession. {like I don't have enough already}











I love how the green apples look with the red monogram on this vintage towel. And the carnations smell so spicy and sweet.


I'm linking up today with the lovely Kathleen for White Wednesday at Faded Charm.

Hope you enjoyed and have a great day.
Sincerely,
~Melinda

  2. I love green apples
    they are my fav!
    and I adore carnations. people always make fun of carnations but they are the most beautiful and beautifully smelling to me. They hold amazing memories for me and maybe that is why I love them so.
    Your photos are gorgeous and your family fun sounds like an awesome time was had. The food, ooo the food sounds sooooooo goood!
    Have a great week Melinda
