French Love on a White Wednesday

I have been a real White Wednesday slacker the past few weeks. It may have been the holidays, or possibly I ran out of white items to show you. So I took a break and today a flash of inspiration met me at the mailbox. I got the new issue of Maire Claire Idees! So today I am taking you to France.  Kathleen has done a super job with this party, so if you like what you see here, check out Faded Charm for other participants.

This is the prettiest chair I've ever seen.

All of this burlap & linen, ahhhh.

What an amazing piece, would LOVE that in my craft room or anywhere!



I'm crazy about this patchwork on linen, reminds me of Rebecca Sower's work.

Hope you liked it!

Thanks to my friend Shellagh from Ticking & Toile for presenting me with the Sunshine award.  I am a huge fan of her blog, if you want insane I-candy check her out! I don't know how she does it, but Shellagh's posts just make me feel cozy & warm.

The sunshine award is given to bloggers whose positivity & creativity inspires others in the blog world.

(I am flattered that Shellagh thinks this about me, I try to make my blog upbeat & fun)
Here are the rules for accepting the award:
Put the logo in your post or on your blog.
Pass the award onto 12 bloggers & link the nominees within your post.
Let the nominees know by commenting on their blog.
Share the love & link to the person from whom you received this award.
******
Ok, this gives me a chance to put a shout out to some great ladies that are always very inspiring & positive, but it makes me feel a little funny because there are way more than 12 bloggers that I feel deserve this.
                       ********************************************************
If I nominated you & your blog is award free, just know that I think your great!
One last thing.....

Is this not the coolest, most beautiful pillow ever??? Well Sissie is giving it away, just hop over to Sissie's Shabby Cottage to see how.

Oooooooooo, these images are incredible! I'm trying to put my finger on what it is about these that I love so much. UNIQUE pieces, lovingly worn, with handcrafted accents - and the white w/ neutrals never looks cluttered no matter how many items are in the shot. So gorgeous!!!
Congratulations on your award, Lisa, and thank you for thinking of lil me. :)
I hope your day is filled with joy! I'm off to go visit Sissie!

CONGRATULATIONS & Thank you sweet friend for thinking of me for that award! Yes, I LOVE your new blog look!!!! And it is always a HAPPY PLACE!

So glad you loved the B&B. I SOOOOO wish we could stay there in the spring. SHE IS BOOKED! She was already booked & then she sold two of her cabins so she will have to call the two booked for those & tell them that there is no rooms for them. ?????? where we could stay because everybody books so far ahead. Is this something you want to do again?If so we had better start working on it now! Talk to ya later. HUGS! Charlene

Hi Lisa, well I think your blog is the one full of serious i-candy and I love it here everytime I see that you have posted. These images have me doing some sighing here. I think the first one really got my attention.
Thank you so much for your lovely words at my place and I thank you so much for the beautiful award. I am award free, but am so thankful that you would count me among all these other amazing blogs. Aren't there so many wonderful blogs out there? I can't believe the beauty and creativity of all of you amazing women.

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your comment regarding my bedroom & the door! I really liked what you recommended & I HAD not thought of the ledge above the door w/ all the chippy stuff on it! Great idea! See, that's why this blogging is so fun ~ I love sharing ideas & inspiring each other! {{hugs}} :)
I can imagine what your room looks like w/ your triplets! wow! I had 2 girls a year apart & I sooo remember how they used to drag EVERYTHING into our room....books...dolls...strollers..artwork...crayons...movies...not to mention blankies, binkies & such!!
Oh but don't you think 4 is THE best age??? I think kids are their absolute sweetest at that special age! I so miss it!
You are amazing doing what you do w/ your arms so full!!
Take care!
Shellagh
