Amour...
Hello dear ones! Here is a fun Valentine vignette I created with some favorite finds.
I was inspired by this adorable little pale pink cabinet I found at the antique store.
It's a perfect place to store my art supplies
and show off my favorite vintage goodies on top!
I haven't used my cloche for a while, so I dusted it off and added these pretties inside.
I adore vintage rhinestones. These beauties are heading off to California because they are some of my birthday presents for my dear mama!
I also found this sweet vintage Valentine to give her.
The girl reminds me of me when I was young and I love the colors and style of it.
Here is the inside. What it says is perfect. We love all the same things, so we really do agree on most everything. And I am definitely very happy when she does come to Texas to "play" with me! We love going to antique stores together!
I also found these pretty pieces of lace and mother of pearl buttons and buckles for her. I think they are so pretty.
A few more finds for my mama's birthday. A vibrantly colored millinery flower and bingo card.
As I was leaving the antique store, I saw a huge basket full of lace sitting on the floor by the register that was not there when I had arrived. Of course, I sat on the floor and dug through them for a long time, untangling them and finding the prettiest pieces. The only trouble was, there were no prices. When the dealer showed up, she could not have been sweeter and she gave the flower for free and told me I could have the huge pile of lace I found for only $2!!!
My new pink cabinet is the perfect place to store them, but they are so pretty I may have to keep the drawer open!
For some reason I always have a hard time finding pink buttons, so I was happy to find these lovelies!
I'm linking up with Vintage Inspiration Friday with
Debra from Common Ground.
Wishing you a lovely week girls!

Spring is definitely in full swing here in Texas, which has me in the mood to decorate in two of my favorite colors.... pink and jadeite green. I think they look so pretty together!
I used some of my jadite collection...
my cute little pink cabinet...
vintage linens...
and whatever else I could find in these gorgeous colors from around my little cottage.
Of course one needs to use a lot of white to balance out all this color.
Some vintage lace, doilies and millinery flowers for softness.
I love this little wire birdhouse cloche I found on clearance at Michaels. I have also used a favorite green chintz plate, perfect for Spring! 
Isn't this the prettiest pattern and colors?
Below is a page from a vintage lace sample book and it's the perfect shade of jadite green!
I even gave my dress form a new outfit.
I forgot to tell you girls that my dear parents came for a visit recently. My sweet mama and I had so much fun antiquing together, as we always do!
This adorable green shelf is just one of treasures I found. I'll share the rest of my finds with you in my next post.
Michelle xoxo
