{spring things: glamorous gold leaf}

. . . in the midst of a beautiful gold leaf project and seem to have an affinity for the lovely, shimmery and delicate sheets -- whether encased in glass & on display, or lining light-as-air papier-mâché bowls -- and now have fallen for this quietly perfect reminder of spring . . .

{inspiration: vintage brooch bouquets}




. . . have come across vintage flower brooches many times in quaint little shops on the way out of the city, and while have thought to group pretty clusters on the lapel of a boyfriend blazer, had never thought to fashion them into utterly enchanting and everlasting bouquets . . .

MY LOVE FOR CHANDELIERS

All that talk about chandeliers in closets made me realize just how much I love chandeliers. Whether they are hanging in the palace at Versailles or an out of the way place in your very own powder room or closet, there is so much beauty to behold. The crystals hanging down reflect so romantically off the light they give. Some are shabby, some are formal and elegant but it doesn't matter...I love them all. Which ones are your favorites?I just LOVE this one!!
