And The Winner Is?
Hi peeps!
I received lots of interesting ideas and comments on my "How To Use My "THING" Blog Giveaway Contest" below.
A pet bed and footstool being the two most often mentioned.
After careful consideration I and my co judge (Dear Hubbs) selected Ornaments by Pink for her detailed description and vision. I could literally "see" it. Here's what she said:
Well Vanna, what about a very large statue like a cherub and live trailing vines wrapped around her feet. You could layer the piece with plastic stand the figurine in the center, fill black dirt all around the bottom of the statue and plant a couple of vines and make sure this piece is standing where it will get light from your windows.
So you win the antique Danish pillow cover and art nouveau jewel casket Ms Pink! *winks* Please leave me the address where you'd like to receive your prize and I'll send it out right away!
If you haven't visited the blog Ornaments By Pink you really should! You'll find a land inhabited by enchantment with magical animals frolicking amongst victorian ladies! You can even take them home with you if you fall in love! *winks*
And the GREAT BOOK to which I refer is titled The "New French Decor, Living With Timeless Objects" by Michele Leland and photographs by Gilles Trillard. This book is from the creators of The New Eighteenth Century Style... Another amazing book! If you are a lover of the old and chalky or of vignettes created by the hand of a master this book is for you! It will be a "go to" I promise.*winks* Here are just some of the luscious images (over 250 of them) found inside...
Isn't this wonderful!? But am I the only one who thinks leaving the plastic on the shades was a no no? *winks*
Love the painting of sheep!
I've heard of the "elephant in the room" but this is taking it to a whole new level! Lol!
How cool is this?!!
If you enjoyed any of these images as much as I did you're going to love "The New French Decor" You can find it HERE
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll leave me a comment. I'd LOVE to hear from you! Vanna
