Loving all that is beautiful ~


I love Bouguereau....his paintings are so beautiful to me ~



I love beautiful ideas....
like this flower bag ~
a simple fabric bag lined with heavy duty plastic.
Why?
Perfect to hang on a door knob filled with a little water and fresh flowers ~
just to make you smile :)





Bouguereau again....







Beautiful images I scanned from ephemera Corey sent me from France ~







Bouguereau again....




Gorgeous botanicals are always a weakness of mine....




I love these pocket organizers....
I've made a few and sold them in my store back in the day ~





And I love seeing furniture used in unexpected places ~
A pie safe used in a bath for storage....BEAUTIFUL!




Don't you just love beautiful things?
They soothe our soul and always make us smile ~


Wishing you a beautiful Thursday dear friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Dawn, I use those pocket organizers to store my sewing notions.
Yes, I love furniture that is used for something other than its original purpose.

Oh I can see why you love the artist's work. His paintings have that dreamy, bloom lighting that is so romantic. Ahhhh...

Sometimes I do enjoy seeing a piece of furniture in an unexpected place. That's a neat use of a pie safe. I've always thought that if I ever have a proper laundry room, the jelly cupboard will be in it.

Yes, I love beautiful things too...that's one reason I visit your blog! : )

Thank you for sharing all the lovely images and the fabric organizers. I think something like that would work well in my craft room. The first one is so fun...love it hanging on the trellis.
But my favorite of this post is that little flower bag...how sweet is that! You've inspired me...I think I'll try making something similar.

Thanks for sharing such wonderful ideas...have a wonderful weekend!

The pocket organizers are wonderful! I'd love to make some up. Did you make your own pattern up?

And yesssssss, I LOVE old things. Our little house is filled with mostly antique and vintage things. There is something about a piece that has old patina.
