Show and Tell:Useful Decorations
PREVIOUS POST Where do you store your purses?
Below is a previous picture of my kitchen windowsill. It was filled with mini pots of Italian flat leaf parsley plants.
Nestled in between the pots you’ll find two of the cutest ceramic animal figurines.
These are not only a pretty addition to my windowsill since they blend well with my rooster dish Soap Dispenser, but they also serve a purpose. They are salt and pepper shakers. I plan on filling them with seasoning salt and meat tenderizer. I usually season my meats at the sink and having the shakers at arms length will will shave a few seconds off of my dinner prep time.
Finally, I am sharing images of my bathroom windowsill. I often light scented candles a few minutes before my husband gets home from work. Candles are always a beautiful choice for decorating and are useful when they can bring a relaxing aroma to a room after a long day at work.

I love the candles too! Before my hubby gets home, I will usually light the little tart burner in our kitchen so that when he comes in everything is fresh and welcoming. I do this for a few minutes before we leave the house too, so that when we return we are greated with a fresh pleasing smell.
