Well hello! Anyone else out there crazy about mercury glass??? I have quite a few pieces, and had decided to try and group, at least the candlesticks, together on the shelf where the white dishes used to reside (they're now in the cabinet, remember?). Well, I started to work on this, and then I had my brain storm idea about switching the living room and dining room...so now this is going to have to change...but, I figured you wouldn't mind if I showed you the pictures anyway, right?! BTW, you can make out little itty bitty reflections of me taking the shot in the picture above :)
...still lovin the vintage sheet music on the wall...that will probably stay (thank you Kasey for the idea)...
...more Jeanne d' Arc influence, I've been embellishing my candlesticks with vintage, sparkly buttons...
...these little beauties are old tin Christmas tree light reflectors that my MIL recently gave us...I just really like them so I included them on the shelf...
Well, I'm deep into the switcheroo with my rooms and I'm really liking it so far! I hope to have pictures for you soon...until then, have a wonderful rest of your week my friends!!! It's cold and nasty here, so I'm sending warm and happy wishes your way...

Aw shucks girl, couldn't you have sent me the "L" too! LOL. Love the mercury glass. Yes, I love it too- hence my buying of garlands this year. I found some reflectors at the flea market this year, but they are colored ones (pastels and primary)- still cool though. Good luck with redcorating- can't wait to see. I had to bag the burlap- they didn't have it in stock... nothing here is the same as PA (notice I refrained from saying 'home'). xoxo
I'm loving your "switcheroo" so far, can't wait to see the finished pics! I love the sheet music, the framed stencil letter, and of course all of that beautiful mercury glass!
I'm also a huge fan of mercury glass and I scored some beautiful mercury glass ornaments on sale after Christmas!
Kat :)
Wow Tracey, I LOVE your photographs!! The music sheets, the mercury glass.... nice nice nice.
Have a wonderful wednesday!

Saskia

Big Hugs ~ Teresa
You always post fantastic photos Tracey!

Hi Tracey
Love the mercury glass too but sold all my old stuff. Whenever something gets too spendy to collect I sell it off. Everything looks lovely, have a great Wednesday
Blessings
it looks fabulous all lined up.
hey..left you a few texts....
don't worry...i'm not waiting or anything.

I'm new to loving mercury glass...there is something vintage yet timeless about it.
Love the idea of old earrings and buttons being used in candles...love the inspiration you share!
Gorgeous Tracey. I love Mercury glass too & recently saw a fabulous idea June shared on her blog laughing with angels. I asked if I could borrow her idea & not only does it look pretty - but it works beautifully! She tucks paper & tulle into the candle stick before adding the candle to prevent the was from dripping down the candlesticks.
Absolutely beautiful. Love your display...the sheet music was a nice touch:)
Hi Tracey!
Very nice photos again:-) I like especially the frames and the candlestics!!!
Have a nice day!
Hugs,
Vianne
Hi Tracey,

I love mercury glass! I'm currently working on a design for a metal table and I want a mercury glass tabletop. Any ideas on how to get the look? Maybe I could use a mirror and rough it up a bit?
Very pretty!!
I love mercury glass. I've left a few of my goodies out to enjoy for the winter months.
I need to get busy ~ you're way ahead of me and I'm feeling like a slug!
Jo
I have a new found love of Mercury Glass. I love your candle sticks
Love the first photo. I can't wait to see your room transformation!!!
I simply go "ga-ga" over mercury glass! Love it, love it...and I think I've purchased 2 or 3 mercury glass items from your store:)
Your candlestick display is so sparkly & stunning...makes me want to run out & buy more mercury glass! May have to "borrow" that button idea, too:) Have fun redecorating...
what an awesome collection you have .... and you know I can't WAIT to see the change of your living room & dining room....SOO excited!!
xoxoxo
Love it!!! You have a fabulous collection of mercury glass candlesticks. Love the sheet music, love the frames, all of it. I don't think I would ever leave that room!
Kate
complete perfection!
i love the grand grouping of mercury glass juxtaposed against an all white backdrop....gorgeous!
you would DIE if I showed you the three bottles I have with leather wrapped stoppers!!!
Maybe I'll bring them to the blogger girls unite for you to see
Mercury glass is one of my favorite things. I go loony over the stuff. You have some gorgeous pieces too. Love the way you displayed them. The reflectors are a very cute idea.
*love* mercury glass; okay it's a little more like an obsession!! have just started my collection..any suggestions for some good mercury glass shopping??
can't wait to see your redo...
blessings,
kristin
oh I love mercury glass too...it looks so well with all the little silvers and sheet music. Perfect!
Beautiful! I'm loving the mercury glass lately! Kim
Simply Gorgeous, Tracey. I can't wait to see your photos your rooms when you are finished! Have a beautiful day! xxoo
Love the letter I bought from you J & I and I love Mercury glass... I guess I'm just a lover! Jennifer
Im crazy for your blog! Everytime I visit I'm so inspired. The colors are soothing, harmonious and delicious. The header is beautiful! Everything flows and feels peaceful. I find myself wishing I could switch blogs with you....not that you would want mine, but I love yours much better!Just thought I'd share this silly nonsense! Thank you for being you and making blogland a prettier place.Can't wait to see your switcharoo!
I sell it and don't have any...isn't that always the way it is? I ran across some gorgeous pieces of it this past weekend....but man oh man...they wanted beaucoups of money for it. I couldn't afford it for myself much less for resale. Your sticks are gorgeous and I love the idea of rhinestone brooches on the candle. Tres chic! :)
I love your blog! Everytime I visit. I'm inspired by the colors, header, content and visual harmony. Truth be known, I want to trade, but that would'nt be fair to you. So, I'll be contented to visit and admire and borrow thoughts and ideas. Thanks for sharing your beauty!
Lovely.... can't wait for more....
Oooohh the anticipation is killing me. I adore mercury glass AND vintage sheet music. Just lovely!
Tracey,
Can I just tell you that I want to crawl inside of your blog? Every morning, during my "quiet time" I look forward to your peaceful pictures and reflections!
I wish I didn't love it so much! It's my new favorite thing!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos! Wish I could experience the real thing! :)
what a gorgeous collection of mercury glass!très elegant!
val
You have the most amazing photos, that looks like something out of a magazine. So So pretty!!!
I love your blog :)
SO happy to hear you are doing the switch - you'll love it! and it's cost - nada -
and btw; it's about 45 min. if that
Tracey,
I love the murcury glass candlesticks! I have also used the vintage music sheets on the wall idea. I was having a party at Christmas time and needed a quick "wow" on a boring wall. So I got old images from the Graphics Fairy, printed them out and presto, party perfect!
Happy Wednesday!
Gretchen

I love the candlestick collection but I really LOVE the sheet music on the wall. The variation in color of all the different sheet music really makes an impact.
Jane

You create the most beautiful displays girlfriend!
I just want you to know that if you ever get tired of that mercury glass I'll gladly take it off your hands. I love it!!!
The music note sheets on the wall is something different, but looks great. Very bold.
It's all so lovely.
Sissie

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
~ Lynda
Yippee Skippy, I'm tossing sheet music up on my wall, and when my husband gives me his "What the HEY?" look, I'm pointing my fingers straight at YOU! ;-)
Hugs,
Anne
I ADORE mercury glass.. it is right up there with ironstone... maybe higher since the real stuff is expensive and hard to find. You amaze me... I love you photos and your blog!!
Michelle
beautiful! i love mercury glass! cant wait to see when you are all finished!
Oh Tracey,
I just love everything that you love. Mercury glass is my favourite thing at the moment. I have candlesticks, votives, bowls and lanterns. I love it. I was out today, looking for a lantern as a present for someone but they had sold them all.
Also, my dad died in September 2008and, as a musician, had loads of old sheet music. He was 91 when he died and had sheet music from the 1930's. so, I must utilise it in some way. Thanks for all of your inspiration. XXXX
HEY TRACIE, LOVE YOUR MANTEL! I LOVE THE LOOK OF M.G. BUT DON'T HAVE ANY. (yet)
WOW, YOU'RE AMBITIOUS! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PICS OF THE BIG SWITCH. TAKE IT EASY NOW, JUDY
Ha! I love that you switch stuff around all the time..! I can completely relate to that. That, and your love for white and chippy furniture. ;)

Hi Tracey,
I love your Mercury glass and what a lovely lot you have.
Also the sheet music looks great ~ I brought a lot of old sheet music, from my parents home when we were cleaning it out.
Thank you for all the inspiring and beautiful things, you share.
hugs
Carolyn
Ah, Tracey, You are so very inspiring! Always such great photos...I need to come and take some lessons, girl. I have so much fun with old sheet music, it just seems to go with so many venues. I hope you're having a gret week!
Gale
I love that silver and the idea of bling on the candle. Florence
I'm new to blogging and your blog ~ Love your posts, especially the vintage sheet music and frames! Thanks for sharing.
Happy decorating! That is both a statement...and a wish for you, Tracey!
: )

I just can't get enough Mercury Glass! My ornament collection grew this year and I am trying to incorporate some of them into my everyday decor along side my pedestals and candlesticks without looking too "Christmasy" . Your candlestick vignette is stunning, the music must stay! Simply beautiful, thanks for the inspiration!
Best wishes,
Tammy
it is crazy cold here right now. yuk!! i warm right up looking at all your beautiful images. love the 2 frames with the L. such style.
Your mercury glass candlestick collection is divine! I only have three or four very ordinary ones, but I love them and have them in a bathroom. Clever idea putting a glitzy button on a candle; wonder if I can get a pretty shell on mine.
Your posts are always an inspiration!
I have just a few mercury pieces and now I want more. Your collection is stunning. You have an eye for beautiful things.
Oh Tracey you are calling my name with that mercury glass. I have been collecting it for several years and have way to much. I just cannot resist a piece of the stuff. Thanks for sharing. Lauri@chippys
I just stumbled in the door of your blog. I love the sheet music hung above the mantel. I am adding more white to my decor. Come for a visit. I'm having a giveway.
karen
Love the mercury glass, big time. Also, really liked a comment you made on a blog recently about Mother Theresa.
Hi Tracey, I looooooove mercury glass! Your candlesticks are beautiful I have similiar and they are so gorgeous.... everywhere they stand, they look so great...
Have a great weekend
Many warm Hugs Bine
Love your fabulous display, Tracey. I don't really have any mercury glass but I will be on the lookout for it now!
I just found your blog and LOVE it!! SO beautiful!!
Yes...I too am a mercury glass junkie...and I'm lovin' your music sheet wall.
Me too! I just luv mercury glass and I have a few scattered around at home. J'adore your collection Tracey. Happy weekend!
-marie
Oh I love the candlestick idea~ I may borrow it okay??? Happy Friday~

Tracey,
Love the post, every picture is beautiful. I especially love the 'L' stencil since my name starts with it! I can't wait to see your reveal. I've done that switching rooms thing & it's a mess. Lisa
You have me craving mercury glass. Real ones...I recently lined the inside of a glass topiary with silver leaf and it turned out looking close...but now I'll be on the hunt for the real thing! Love your blog...will be following you now...first time visit for me. --Lili
I love your candlestick display. So gorgeous- I broke my favorite mercury glass bird packing it up after Christmas- it was a sad day.
Gorgeous! When is the french larkspur magazine coming out?????? :)
Love your little vignette! mercury glass is so beautiful, hard to find here in Australia though.
glad you mentioned Marias blog, she is such a sweetheart!
Ness xx
Oooo, love this! What a great idea to put buttons on the candlesticks!
Pretty, fabulous photos, as usual! They had a few mercury glass candlesticks at Hobby Lobby for 66% off last week and after viewing yours I am wishing that I had grabbed a few.
Blessings, friend.
I like mercury-glass very much, though I don't have as many pieces as you. "Bauernsilber" you call it in Germany, that means something like farmers silver, farmers used these things because they could not afford real silver candle holders. And now we pay a lot of real silver for real antic mercury-glass!
Greetings from Germany

I'm so in love with mercury glass...yet I have none! It must become my new mission now to obtain some!
And the vintage sheet music is so sweet...love the idea!
I'll be visiting you often!
I just visited your beautiful shop and bought my first piece of mercury glass! (You might have created a monster here!) I can't wait to display it...bought it for myself as a birthday gift.
Love your blog...just added your button to my blog as well.
Love all of your images, The sheet music and the mercury glass look amazing together, great post.Kathysue
