Introduction

Welcome to Dorothy Newcomb's Inspiring Arrangements for Home and Garden! I've had an interest in interior design since I was 16 years of age when I first stumbled upon the beauty of antiques. I loved the patina of old woods, the musty smell of antique shops, and the thrill of finding something that had so much history, that it was an immediate must have. 
I had studied material history in university so was smitten by owning something of true value. Not that I could afford it, but I did my best. I saved every penny I had to buy that perfect piece.
Fast forward in life and I am 56, I've decided to take all the lessons I've learned in decorating and share them with you! I hope you will enjoy my blog as I navigate through the murky world of blogging!

Over the past few years I have stumbled upon some true mavericks in blogging. I have some real favorites and hope to be able to connect with them as I start my own.

I want to make sure that each and every picture I post reflects the person who created it and will do my best to ensure they get credit. So if I miss something feel free to ermail me or contact me to set the record straight! 

Here in Nova Scotia Autumn is just really beginning. We just celebrated our Thanskgiving! Here are a few pictures that I have collected that inspired me! Hope you like them too!
