A lovely FIND

Hi~ Here in Chicago we were under blizzard watch last night and nothing happened. Well...something did happen we got about 1 to 2 inches of snow. A sprinkling after all the snow we have had this season. So I stayed in and made a wonderful discovery. I found this beautiful blog Heart in Provence. I spent hours looking & reading every post.

Her blog opens a little window of her life in beautiful Provence. Each image is better than the last. I REALLY enjoyed my blizzard in front of my monitor last night.

I love the blouse and vest...all the layers are scrumptious...beautiful details in lovely shades of creams.

I think she started her blog in French~Un Coeur en Provence and added one in English. Oh I am ever so grateful!;) Here is the link to see her beautiful blog Heart in Provence.

May everyone have a great day!!!

awww...These are just the cutest tiny treasures

These little lovelies were hung in my dear Grandma's home right in her foyer. Every time I walked by I had to stop and say "hi" to each of them. I made up cute little stories about them. I never knew a "True" story existed about them. So here it goes...

They are called The Wee Musicians

The Wee Musicians were painted by the noted artist, Lowell, who was inspired by the following tale:

(size - 4 1/2" x 4")

One of the most celebrated stories surrounding the court of King Arthur of the Round Table is that of the Wee Musicians. Their appearance, legend has it, always brings good fortune.

The most renowned instance in recent history occurred during the childhood of the present Duke of Salisbury. The family fortunes of the ancient house had reached their lowest ebb. Suddenly, the Wee Musicians appeared and revealed themselves to the Royal Child, pointing their instruments to the ancient tower of Salisbury Castle. Learning of this the boy's father had the tower thoroughly searched and was rewarded by the discovery of priceless concealed treasure.


Down through the ages, to this very day, it is said, where ever they appear the Wee Musicians always bring happiness and prosperity.

So that is the cute story about the Wee Musicians which was kept a secret until I got them from her. I feel like it is a sweet little treasure from her. By the way... the little girl playing the piano is my favorite. Which is a shocker because I was actually fired from my piano teacher for not practicing...go figure...I wonder if that had do with the fact I was always doodling & drawing. Hmmm.

Well, I hope seeing these cute Wee Musicians will bring everyone happiness and prosperity.

Au revoir!

Oh my P.O.S.H!

I found this wonderful small shop that is full of unique treasures with lots of personality! It's called P.O.S.H Chicago & it's right here in Chicago.

How about a whispery pale robins-egg blue high fired ceramic ware decorated with delicate filigree & Chez Germain logo in white. They also have matching mug and plate but I would love to place this on a simple white plate...Oh and they have lots of those too...
How about a little dash of this or a little smidgen of that. Oh my Gosh! I Love these! Especially since I was not blessed with any sense of cooking or baking. he he
C'est le coeur qui fait valoir les mots." It is the heart that gives meaning to words...I still love the art of lettre writing. Wouldn't you love to receive a lovely hand written lettre on a soft pastel harlequin pattern? Directly from France! The Reservoir Absinthe Glass. They also have a beautiful Absinthe Fountain. So french...the sugar cube. These come nicely wrapped. So sweet! (lol)

How about French Farm Meal-time Set for your little one. The darling drawings of cutey animals are labeled in French!

Or perhaps a tin full of the alphabet cards in French. I would love these for me! Perhaps place them in my studio.

I definitely need to get this one...remember paint by number? This comes with 8 other pictures to paint as well. A lovely ballerina, a pretty fall scene & lots more although The Eiffel Tower painting is all I need.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
