A Home For My Finds....

 I'm still smiling from my jaunt to the At Home With White Event at The Wrentham Country Store this past week-end with my Picker Sister, Susan (Evelyn And Rose).  
(If you missed that post...it's just below this one) 

The next best thing was finding just the right spots for all my new-found tresors .....
This serenely gorgeous crucifix found  the perfect spot above my living room mantle...

...I just love how the angel wings "frame it."




 Three out of the four walls in my living room have French Doors so I have little wall space....

...I like adding frames and mirrors on them to maximize my display space. This lovely open-frame I found at the White Event looks perfect here.


The vanity tray ended up on my living room coffee table as opposed to my actual vanity. I love the way it reflects the light and softness the dark wood finish.


The footed, sliver plated tray is on my dining room table. Soon...It will showcase my collection of seashells.

These two architectural pieces are on my dining room mantle for now. 
I say "for now" because there are just about a dozen places I tried them and liked them! 



And this sweet vintage crown I purchased was the perfect "halo" for my beloved bust of Ste. Therese.

Last, but not least, these are the sweet gifts that Karen bestowed upon me and Susan upon our arrival... 

Handmade soaps....

....a petite chalk-painted pot....

...and an inspiring charm that will always remind me of the delightful day we all shared and the sweet kindred spirits I've met here.  
"Merci" Susan....Sandi....and Karen!
"Mon coeur est heureux!"

    Alas, I've been working non-stop and not feeling well on top of it. Does not make for a good week.

  9. How beautiful.
    I love the way you hang the frame against the French Door, such a clever idea and St. Therese looks so pleased with her crown.
    You have a real artist's eye and your tablescapes are works of art.

  10. Hi Michelle,
    When it comes to putting together beautiful and serene vingettes....you are the Queen!

    I love all of your pretty things, especially the mirrors and the religious pieces.

    I don't have much wall space either because of windows so I like your idea of hanging things on the doors.

    hugs
