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.

Avec Amour,
~*~Michelle~*~

    I'm in love with that image...where do you find such good ones? I really enjoy all your work and need to take a peak at your Etsy shop and do some shopping.

    Hope you are having a wonderful week.

    Oooh Michelle, your sachets are so lovely! I love them. I can't believe how many awesome projects you've been doing lately. I get so far behind, and miss so many great posts.
    Your thrifting finds were crazy amazing. The new stash of lace has me sighing. I adore the new mirror too.

    I like the way the smaller mirror is displayed in front of the larger. I say, don't paint, the dark wood lends so much depth and contrast to your vignette.
