capturing love around my home
This week’s You Capture theme was love around the home. I could have captured my husband (or the cat) but instead went for something a little different.
First, the canister set my ceramics teacher made us for a wedding gift. They actually reside in our dining room, but the color matches our kitchen perfectly. And they mean a lot because Marie spent SO much time on them for us! 
Second, a monkey and pillow. My husband won the monkey out of one of those claw machines. He worked at a summer camp one summer, and came home with this. (He is not a stuffed animal kind of guy, so this was HUGE for him!) The pillow is from a friend who lives in Pennsylvania. The quote is “You take the good and the bad, the time in between. It lets us know we’re alive.” It’s from the song “Alive” by Edwin McCain…possibly my most favorite song ever. And she and I are big Edwin fans. 
Finally, last night’s dinner. I was late getting home from work, and the husband had dinner waiting for me – he didn’t even start eating without me! I liked how I captured the steam coming off of the chili. 
And now it’s your turn….show the love in your home!
A hubby cooked meal is lovely, I’ve forgotten what that’s like.
You can almost smell the chilli! š
Those canisters are beautiful!
Dinner cooked by your husband, it doesn’t get much better than that!
Great shots…that’s sweet of your hubby! My husband is great about doing stuff like that for me too. š
Yum.. I can almost smell that chili! š
Mmmmm chili!!!!!
Edwin McCain on a pillow! Love it!
Mmm doesn’t really matter what the husband cooked for dinner, that there is a pot FULL of LOVE! Thanks for letting me take a peek into the love in your home.
Chili + cooked by husband = LOVE!!
All of those things clearly contain so much love and happiness for you!
a meal that you didn’t have to make? that IS love š
good job hubby! those canisters are so cute-lots of time put in those!
What a sweet hubby to cook dinner!
I love the little things that have big meaning!
YUM that chili looks good! I love edwin mccain too!
Man oh man, a husband cooked dinner sounds amazing!
I like how you captured the steam too. And I like the angle of the canisters in the first photo. And, Wow! A husband who cooks dinner! Nice.
I love seeing everyone’s photos this week…it’s like taking a little peek inside their home and seeing what kinds of things they enjoy. It’s a great way to get to know people. š
Mmm…chili! How sweet of your husband! š
A stuffed animal would be huge from my husband, as well. I love the canisters. IT’s those kind of gifts that truly mean the world to me- ones from the heart. I really enjoyed your captures this week.
That chili looks yum!… And a hubby who waits to eat? Even yummer! š
I bought the flower for my MOH’s hair off of Etsy. The seller is ButterflyEnchantress. Let me know if you have any other questions š
Great pictures! Don’t you just love it when the husband makes you dinner?
