Recently when I visited my Mom I brought a camera along. She is such a great decorator and I noticed she has solitary shelves all over the house! Come take a walk with me!
I love these delicate ladies...
A butterfly perched in her kitchen...
She used shelving to bring special attention to vases...
This hummingbird plate is so colorful...
Such an exquisite shelf here!
A bird and rabbit on this shelf...
My favorite, pics of my youngest when she was the flower girl in my cousin's wedding...
These are all so unique and different and make such a statement in her rooms. The best part of the visit? Coming into the kitchen and finding Ina Garten's Lemon cake (but orange was used here!) coming out of the oven. Mom, put the tea on! Let's talk about your shelves! :0)

Oooh, tell your mom I love her taste! Those shelves are beautiful, I love the lily of the valley one the best, and the pictures of your daughter look like something outr of a magazine. Such a pretty baby:>)
Love the photos of your sweet little girl.
What an amazing collection of shelves and gorgeous things on them.

I think my favorite, besides the darling pictures of your daughter is the butterfly shelf in her kitchen. They are all beautiful though. Now I'm off to make Ina's cake! yum!!

What a sweetheart, your youngest! And as for the cake - send all the leftovers (if there are any!) directly to me!
Amanda:)
P.S. Come on by my place later - I finally finished the "about me" post! Better late than never!
What pretty shelves your mother has! I love the lily of the valley shelf, with the buterfly -- so unique!

Such lovely collectiables!
Like everyone has said - your daughter's picture is just so precious!
What a nice thing to say about Mom! I have adult daughters, and I think just now they're beginning to appreciate my decorating style. For a long time, they deviated away from my color-filled house and resorted to browns... I think they're finally turning the corner on that one.

Oh! I love taking tours of peoples homes and the bread looks delicious! Can I come over for tea?
Your mom's house is just beautiful. Your daughter is adorable. I love the picture of her looking out the window.
Hi Tara!
Your Mom has so many beautiful shelves and collectibles! I love the butterfly and lily of the valley shelf the best -- so unique!

Okay Tara, which do I love best, the Ginger Jar on the high shelf or the Orange (nee Lemon) Cake? Ohhh,too hard to choose. And you said the recipe went how?
I love the way your Mom did these. I love shelves like that. She is indeed quite the decorator!
Sandi
I love the decor,but I have to say the bread looks awesome!
Dear Tara - I now know where you get your talent for making a beautiful home - form your mum!
My favorite is definitely the one with your little girl as flower girl - what a cutie darlin' she is :-)
I'm still waiting on that egg to hatch! :)
Beautiful collections and wonderful shelves too!

What a beautiful home your mother has. She looks like a wonderful decorator and cook! I love Barefoot Contessa's lemon/orange cakes and make them all the time too! They freeze beautifully, and when I'm really going all out, I put cream cheese frosting on them! yummy! Have a lovely weekend Tara!

Tara, I love your Mom's home, and when you let us have a peek inside. Oh yes, Ina Garten's lemon cake. My mom used to visit her original bakery in the Hampton's when she lived nearby. Mmmm, I can almost smell it, orange or lemon still a favorite. Speaking of favorites, I have an award over at my place for you today. when you get a chance, please stop by and bring it home. Blessings, Karen
I love your mother's shelves and the way she decorates them. You both have excellent taste. The bread looks wonderful too.

I'm not sure what is prettier, the shelves or the objects on them. What a lovely collect & I need to go and make some cake now, thank you!
Thanks for the lovely tour of the shelves in mom's house. Yum, the cakes look so yummy, I'm headed that way now.
Hugs,
Rose
That cake looks yummy! I'll be right over for a cup of tea.
look at those yummy cakes, oh lucky you!!! So many shelves with pretties to look at.
I will never look at shelves the same now, how lovely. I need to get the 2 that I have out of storage and get decorating.
Dear Tara-
What a beautiful collection! And, the cakes look so good too. Have a great week!
Great shelves, Tara! Your daughter is so beautiful...what a precious little face. Also, that cake looks wonderful - wish I was there!
Hi Tara!
I'm always intrigued by some of my mom's treasures at her home. I just visited her and took a couple photos to post soon. I love your mom's shelves and how she's used them. Thanks for sharing!
Hugs, Sherry
I love all those shelves. What a great decorating idea. I'd love to see more of your mom's house.
The cake looks good too!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving such a kind comment. I am looking forward to reading more of your blog too.

Wow...your mom has some lovely shelves. I think my favourite is the lilly-of-the-valley
Karen
How creative to collect your collections on collectable shelves! Really. I love this idea of all the individual, ornate units. The butterfly on the lily-of-the-valley is my fav. Kudos to MoM !
