romantically rustic collections


Recently I discovered the beyond
lovely and must read blog
where today bloggers
are sharing their collections.


I collect only a few things:

Beautiful reminders of the sea
and of vacations at the beach.


Vintage jewelry
(rosaries are my favorite)
and vintage pottery like
the old made in England
marmalade and meat crocks
in first image at top.

I don't have a collection yet,
but I would like to collect more
antlers like the one at top.
Why?
They are natural hooks just
begging to be strung with a
beautiful necklace.


Unusual little stones.
(I'll tell you more about these
natural shaped heart stones
from Israel very soon!)


And ballet slippers.
(This is not me btw.
It's a friend who let me
style her and even cut her hair!).

Thank you, Suzanne
for the opportunity to share,
for your consistently strong writing,
and for your lovely spirit which
moves me and makes me want to
hug you tight with every post!

Do you collect?


linen, leather, and bling


...and tulle, and cork, and...

Honestly, I wasn't sure how to title
this post which is sort of a
w h i t e   m o o d
and
a study in romantic feminity
but never without some edginess
upon my dining room table.

I like the tag and silk of this vintage
pearl collar as much as the pearl side.




Vintage chocker necklace on a vintage
French linen sheet.



For this assemblage,
I incorporated a painting I did
last year called YOU which has
a very ethereal vintage feel.
The dupioni silk "x" and the safety pins
are elements I return to again and again.



Don't want to break up the romantic white mood....
but we wouldn't want anyone to worry I've gone
completely soft, right?
This print I may offer in my shop will
ease troubled minds:
but feel free to scroll right by if you want to stay in lala land!


Rude yes.
Unless you're approaching
the big M ungracefully yourself,
(this blogger struggles to find a shred of dignity some days)
you may not understand how
liberating it feels to have
two little words acknowledged.


Prayer and some sweet stuff from the doctor is cool
during this challenging transition.
i had no idea today's post would be about hormonal changes. my apologies.
this is what happens when stream of consciousness and intuitive blogging collide.
A new vintage rosary for my collection.
Not sure of age, but the aurora borealis
beads and crucifix are beautiful.

Find vintage bling at my shop.

Elie Wiesel concluded there are three paths to enlightenment:

DEVOTION (rhthymic routine of prayer and penance)
SUFFERING (experiences of great struggle and survival)
CREATIVITY (acts of creation through the arts)

Feelin this?
