more tea cup candles & my wall of mirrors

hi and happy weekend to you all!
i visited a church garage sale this morning and came home
with some lovely goodies including these 2 awesome mirrors.
you may remember a while back when i did my first mirror display
on this wall. you can see what it looked like here.
i decided to expand my display and here's how it turned out.
i think it makes the ceiling seem higher and the room bigger.
i hate the air conditioner. what an eye sore.
when we paint this room, i'd love to paint over it.
has anyone done that before?
i couldn't imagine it could look any worse than it does now!

a crisp white fluffy chenille bedspread found at the church garage sale too
and some vintage linen. the floral sheets are a little worn, so i
plan to cut them up and make some cute carry bags.
another batch of teacup candles made this morning.
great for stocking fillers, secret santa or teacher pressies.
i used soy wax and a lovely floral scented oil.
the house is smelling so good!
you can see how i made them here if you would like to give it a go.

    Love your wall of mirrors and your tea cup candles. I'd like to try making some but first I need some tea cups. I'll see if we can find them at the Aladdin's Cave market. Are you still going?

    The chenille is soooo yummy! I don't ever think I have seen one so full and "fluffiful" but, I have to say I adore your coffee table the most!

    So pretty! I love the effect, and I agree. It does make your ceiling seem higher. Beautifully done! Come by and see my cottage some time.

    Hi, I am a first time visitor and love your projects. The wall of mirrors is wonderful and I love your tea cup candle. A friend host an Alice tea party annually and this would make wonderful favors. Kathy
