A Candlelit White Wednesday

Well, I'm off to do a nightshift at the hospital (I'm a pediatric nurse), and will be working the next couple of nights and sleeping during the day..........so..........here is my White Wednesday post a little early.
Welcome to White Wednesday.  Today I am showing you pictures from my kitchen.  Please head on over to Kathleen's blog at http://www.fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/ for a list of all the participates in this fun filled white day!!!
I love this candle holder and painted it white after buying it to match my decor.  My husband found the beautiful leaded glass window at a yard sale he stopped at one year for my birthday (his first and only stop at a yard sale!!??!!).

Couldn't resist throwing in some white flowers for you all!!!
"Tell me how much you know of the sufferings of your fellow man and I will tell you much you have loved them" is one of my favorite quotes.  It was written by theologian Helmut Thiehcke and is very inspiriing to me.  I have had it stencilled on my kitchen wall for some years now.
This frame was another thrift store find that I painted and put words on.
That's all for today my friends.  Happy White Wednesday and thank you for visiting my blog!!!

  4. Hello, Janis,
    Your whites are so lovely and elegant. Love the candelabra and how sweet that your husband would think of you and buy that pretty window for you. The quote you have stenciled on your wall is beautiful and oh so true. Sending happy thoughts your way. Vicki

  7. Hi Janis,
    This is my first time visiting. What beautiful pictures are on your blog! I love all the white stuff in your kitchen...gorgeous! What a sweet hubby to have stopped at a yard sale for you and for getting you that amazing lead glass window. I love it when a husband gets the shabby chic, chippy vintage look or at least pretends to. Thank you for sharing.

    Blessings,
    ♥Ana
