Whites~ Chippy, Inspiration, and Blooming

Happy White Wednesday everyone! The first "white" that I wanted to show today is a pic of that lovely chippy cupboard I told you about in my last post...you know...the one I purchased from the "WHITE EVENT"

Dreamy, isn't it?   I haven't decided what to put inside her yet.   For now I've placed a couple things on top...two vintage frames, a chalk painted pot.....



























and this french style wire basket with some sweet, realistic looking greens

I could use some ideas as to what to fill her shelves with. It's in my sitting room and the shelves are deeper than they are high, so it's a bit of a challenge.  One that I'm looking forward to however~
Today, I was so excited to receive this little package in the mail...and just in time for White Wednesday and Vintage Inspiration Friday!


It was wrapped up so pretty, it almost broke my heart to open it.  As you can see from the tag, it came from none other than the ever lovely "Petite Michelle Louise"  You can also see us meeting up at the White Event in my last post.

Michelle has the most gorgeous blog and etsy shop.  If you're not familiar, she crafts these incredible "inspiration holders" from vintage door knobs and other sweet embellishments.  I had asked her to personalize one for me...knowing my style and likes.




























What I got was more than I hoped for...

Is this incredible or what???  She took my love of clocks (A Shabby Moment in Time), used a glass doorknob, gave me some bling across the top of the knob, and then added an off white rose since I love everything white!



























She then personalized it for me on the back....



























Thank you dear Michelle! You totally nailed it!!



























I'll cherish it always!!    If you'd like one of her beautiful holders, or even a custom one, contact Michelle at her etsy shop.



























My last entry today is of my white lilacs.  I waited a bit too long to take the pics so they're a bit past peak, but worth looking at just the same.  Since my home is up for sale, this is likely the last time I'll enjoy their blooms after 22 years here...

They've given me a lot of pleasure and something I've looked forward to every Spring.
I captured a couple to put on my table.. I also have a purple lilac tree in the front end of the house, but the white has always been my favorite.  I'm happy to have captured these in pictures, since now I'll be able to enjoy them forever.

Until next time,
