Wonderful White Wednesday

Sharing some romantic valentine tags i've been working on....

...love this image from The Graphics Fairy.

I've adorned the tags with vintage german glass glitter in the shape of a heart.

And i found this petite shelf with the glass jars at a thrift store...

...and gave them a "White Wednesday" facelift!

I painted the shelf and lids a creamy white...

...and decoupaged this French ephemera image onto it. 

I found a bagful of these glass spice jars. You know how I adore petite jars....

I embellished them with vintage lace....

...creamy crinkled seam binding...

....and French-inspired images transferred onto muslin.

And then filled with them petite tresors....

...mother of pearl buttons...

...vintage lace and bobbins.....

...and french ephemera.

(all available in my etsy shop soon)

Happy White Wednesday mes amies. 

I am linking up to Kathleen's Faded Charm Cottage!

Winter White Wednesday

Snow is lightly falling outside my window and all of New England is blanketed in fresh snow. The view, as always, is lovely but how i long to see the sunshine. For now, i am sharing some indoor photos of some "whites"around my studio and home....

More of my sweetly scented lavender pillow-sachets....

...and a French pouche...

...with this gorgeous vintage image.

Some lace that i found while thrifitng yesterday...

...along with these lovely mother of pearl and platinum cuff links...

...and a  cabinet card .

A new aviary...

...home to one of my beloved nests...

...and some shabby findings.

And a sweet winter bird.

A new mirror....

...to paint or not to paint?

Happy Winter White Wednesday mes amies! I'm joining Kathleen at Faded Charm Cottage on this whitest of wednesdays.
