  6. Oooh, such pretties. Are those iceberg roses from your garden? They look much better than mine.
    Love the bottle they're in, and your new lamp is tres chic! Hmmmm...tough call about painting its' base. Maybe try to live with it as is for a while, then paint it if it bothers you. :)
    See you SOON! - Susan

  7. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful vignettes. Love your assemblage. I kinda like the contrast with the lampbase, it compliments the spineless books. However, if you plan to leave it there and you want an airy look, paint it.

  8. Happy Wednesday Michelle! Your roses are delightful, and that trowel is magnifique!! I love seeing what you create...you're sooo gifted with an eye for beauty!

    I adore those old knob photo holders, too! Probably one of my favorite creations ever!

    As for the lamp...I like having some color to make the whites stand out. If it were mine, I might just splotch glaze it to give it a little more aged, distressed look. But I do think it looks lovely as is!

    Have a wonderful day!
    Hugs!

  11. Gorgeous things around your home! I really like the way the lamp looks right now, the base matches the writing on the shade.

  12. Paint the base white and then sand off parts of it so some of the brown shows through. That's what I would do anyway!!! Lovely white roses and shade!!

  13. Just gorgeous, comme d'habitude ! Sincerely, I wouldn't paint the lamp base. I adore the look of the 'raw' wood.

  14. Very pretty whites. Your little garden shovel is adorable. I like the lamp base as is but it would also be nice painted in a warm white antiqued a bit.

    I would not paint the lamp base, although, I'm sure it would look fabulous if you did. Oy what to do - xo Rhonda

  18. Wow Michelle! Everything is beautiful! I think I would leave the lamp base as is, especially if you're leaving it surrounded by your other goodies in the pic. It all flows together!
    Blessings & Hugs,

  20. Who would have ever thought to decorate a garden trowel! You of course!!!! gorgeous photos and my vote is to paint the lamp base a lovely antique white then distress it, it would go so well with all your decor. all just breathtaking!

  26. Love, love, love everything!! I can see why your trowel sold already!! I think my favorite are the bathing beauty tags. I love those old swimsuits!! I have a group photo of some swimmers from 1924 with my grandfather front and center! It is one of my favorite photos.

  29. Hello my Massachusetts friend! ;) Your treasures are lovely!!! (I've been admiring your etsy shop for ages; everything you've listed is just gorgeous!) I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I've been working three part-time jobs as well as being mom-to-four. lol I started a new blog with mostly just photos of the Cape (it's easier for me to maintain for the time being). The link is the last post on my blog. Happy weekend!
