White Wednesday

Sharing some "tresors" that I found on Sunday when I treated myself to a trip to Concord and a few of the quaintest shops around....

 I can never pass up a piece of old Ironstone....


...the "crazing" on this pitcher was just sooo beautiful!



Don't you think??


 I just love this sweet plaque even though a corner is chipped off.........


...and this delicate lace was too lovely not to add to my bundle.


 This prayer card was found between the pages of an old book....

 I think it's  serenely gorgeous.


I found time to work on a few French Paper Parcels to add to my ETSY shop ....




I tried my hand at hand stamping and decoupaging a few pieces of my beloved Sea Pottery.... 


...I love the way they turned out....


...and will be selling some of them in my shop real soon.







Happy White Wednesday mes amies!
I'm joining Kathleen at Faded Charm Cottage for more white inspiration!

    Oh Michelle, that is wonderful finds,
    the pitcher is truly beautiful, and so is the plaque. And oh so fragile, and lovely looks the lace.
    Your paper parcels are great, and pretty, and PLEASE I want to buy, some of the sea pottery, with the beautiful angel? on, they looks fantastic, dear Michelle.
    Love and hugs-Dorthe

    Everything is just dreamy, Michelle! I was honestly very struck by your very first photo, and how it looks like the cover of a beautiful JDL-type book. Hmmm...maybe someday a book by you? I would devour it.
    Crazy for that crazing, and all your delectable tresors. Your upcoming shop additions are delightful!
    Happy WW!!!

    Oh I love the aged cracking on the glaze ... that is the most romantic thing ever. I know some that would not appreciate such a beautiful thing as ageing...but to me it is gorgeous!

    You are definitely an old soul...and I love all that you do.
    I asked you before if it would be alright that I use your stunningly inspirational photos as computer screen backgrounds...and I was thrilled that you said yes....I have a whole folder dedicated to you and your creativity! You are a part of my morning coffee ritual, did you know that!
    I love your blog...and what you do..your Etsy shop is marvellous! Please don't ever stop doing what you do!
