As much as I love Goodwill hunting, which is always hit or miss, I have to admit that each outing with my friend Linda at Nina’s Nest also includes a stop by my favorite antique mall...the Queen of Hearts in Alpharetta, Georgia...for some guaranteed frenchiness and eye candy! Sooo...I'd like to share some of my current favorites with you! Gotta love this fabulously frenchy mirrored chest! Sigh!
And this lovely urn…fabulous color and detail!
On my list of things I want to own one day…an antique bone-handled carving set. This one is missing the sharpener, but I love it!
I have to stop and study this vignette each time…old paint brushes in an interesting deer head urn. Hmmm…didn’t I just throw out some old brushes because I thought they were trash? Darn!
Too bad because I already have a deer head pedestal bowl that would be perfect! Maybe I need to paint a few rooms and do a poor job of cleaning the brushes!
I love this pair of topiaries…unusual…and the painting behind them…perfect!
And I have to stop and visit this old mechanical toy with a cow being milked…cute!
This gives me a little Christmas inspiration! Note to self…check the Dollar Tree for little birds.
Love this hutch and all the blue and white! This dealer always has some wonderfully frenchy stuff!
What a fun idea for a way to decorate a pillar candle!
These little cherub candlesticks are cute…
…but Baby kitty is thinking they look familiar…
…because I have a similar one…painted white and distressed.
Another favorite for me is this frenchy straw hat…
…that always makes me think of this painting…Le Déjeuner by Claude Monet. See the hat…hanging from the tree?
And I guess I must have a thing about cows because these wrapped soaps stop me every time.
Sooo…I decided to try my own version. Love this…a fun and inexpensive way to dress up the extra soap in your guest bathroom! Just wrap the soap in Kraft paper and add a vintage cow graphic then tie with jute twine…practically free!
And a final favorite…wowsers! I have shown you this before…but just in case you haven’t seen it…hang on!
Whew! That’s quite a ride! How can you top that? I don’t think I can, so I will leave you with that! What did I leave with...a lamp that I will show you later! But now if you will excuse me, I think I will go back spend a little virtual money and enjoy the frenchy eye candy again! Feel free to spend yours, too!
