My Petite Maison: Pails of Romantic Fleurs & Delightful Nature

Pails of Romantic Fleurs & Delightful Nature

Hello friends,

I've been working on new, loved projects for My Petite Maison and celebrating my birthday with family. What have you been up to?

Arm loads of fleurs, my desk at window

Yes... you see my new "Prairie Chair", inspired by Fifi, of course. It's loved and worn. I've had so many searches for Prairie Chairs (and bistro chairs) coming to my blog and store so I've decided to call my new find Prairie Chair at My Petite Maison.

I am in love with the flowers my husband gave me for my birthday. See them below?

This year, he simply gave me bunches and bunches of roses from our local grocer and I placed them in my French pails and old antique bottles. I love the hues of white and the tinge of very light green color against each other that mix in with the natural colors and pastels in our home.

As you can see, I took loads of photos. I love making vignettes all over the house.

Bits et Pieces.. especially our daughter's Mother of Pearl teething ring & my Dad's bible when he was in US service

Also, one day I was really just listening to the quiet and had the doves on my mind that wake me up each morning. We're blessed to have doves nest in our huge pine each year and their cooing is just lovely and calming, it really brings a sense of peace.

So pretty...

I'm starting to stock a few new (very old) things in the boutique and am hoping to get more in maybe over the next couple of weeks. I have a huge project I'm working on next week and can't wait to share with you soon.... very, very excited!

See you soon...
