Winter Warmth

We have had some beautiful winter moments lately here in Georgia. Normally, it doesn't snow here much. Here is a pic my hubby took on our most recent snow day.

While indoors, I have been fluffing my nest a little. I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend {despite the snow here, lol!}

Many years ago, Wendy at Ms. Wendy's Antiques gave my kids a mercury glass heart ornament for them to give to me. Only Wendy can think of a way to give the gift of love, twice. She has the most giving heart of any person I know.

I decided to use the mercury heart tied with a vintage pink velvet ribbon in my cloche. Lately, I have been smitten with aqua. The vase in the cloche is one of my favorites.

In the spirit of the season of love, I took one of my vintage postcards out of the stash to display. It is hard to see, but the doves and hearts are flocked. While this is not a Valentine's postcard, it has a romantic feel to it that is so sweet.

Welcome from Ms. Madeline. She is the dress form in my foyer, welcoming all of our guests with her vintage charm. {see her rhinestone tiara?}



I love vintage clothing. The blouse she is wearing is very old. I think it is Victorian but I am not positive. It has a sheer gauze-like texture, all hand-made and very fragile.

Here is an up close look of the embroidery ~ amazing!

I am thinking of coating Ms. Madeline with some gesso and some other goodies to give her a facelift.

I hope you have a warm and wonderful week Sugah!
