white, continued

do you remember these wonderful shabby chic planters from target a few summers ago? they are fabulous...and i am still wondering why i only bought two??? i'm thinking it was likely budget related, but really. i'd like 3 more, at least.




and this little white rocking chair? handcrafted by the grandpa of a 70ish gentleman who was hosting a wonderful garage sale yesterday.

a flower i made for my paris swap partner, diana. it's made from an old player piano roll - and i found the inspiration here. it's my first attempt and it's far from symmetric...but diana seems to like imperfect things just as much as i do:)

and a peek at some of the other things headed her way.




which reminds me! wait until you see the ab.so.lute.ly. fabulous box of french treasures she sent me...i promise i'll post photos soon:)

  1. I do love those planters. I didn't see them at Target. I wonder how I missed such treasures. Your whites are lovely. That looks like a lot of great things heading your partners way and I can't wait to see how you scored.
