starting in a new place often takes time and patience to learn your way around. for me it is important to define my own space and to do that i spend time arrange the house "nesting", as some may say.hand embroidered tea-towels are a traditional wedding gift in our family. lovingly stitched by my nana and aunt. i have decided to use these as the anchor of the decor in our new kitchen. i didn't plan on red before but with our vintage style kitchen setup and white tiled countertops, it just all kind of fell into place.a line of coordinated pots and hydrangeas greet me on the way to the kitchen each day. a little brightness in an empty living room. i have many decorations to recycle from the wedding for our home. many posts should come later to showcase their spotlight during the wedding.

blueberry poundcakes were a good way of cozying up our new kitchen. one for me and one for my sister in law. the recipe is from the moosewood cookbook; one of our wedding gifts.
