Looking through filed images to share,
I realize that the everyday images we see around us,
is often taken for granted.
I guess I love books and figurines..
in conversation
always in conversation..
our eyes pass over them once, twice and more
everyday as we walk past them,
we move books,a cushion, a figurine.. often without hesitating
I love this chair
still not re-upholstered..
and this one..
often something becomes so part of our surroundings
that we cannot imagine it any other way..
on Atlas shoulders - bearing the weight
of marble and ever changing vignettes
more books and globes
pictures in transit
kitchen table ~ always set for impromptu sit down
I am taking a break from the Brocante preparations this week
to spend some time in the garden.
we waited patiently for the hedges to fill out
and topiaries to take shape
and topiaries to take shape
therefore, some more box love to be added..
have a good week, will share the garden project soon

ReplyDeleteSeeing that chair unupholstered makes me want to rip one of my chairs apart!

I love old chairs with the upholstery tattered ~ they are warm and inviting and beckon 'please sit on me' not like the newly uphostered that look like pieces of furniture to be admired from a distance & never sat upon. Enjoy your gardening it is the beautiful Printemps season!

ReplyDeleteHave a lovely new week,

Hello Colette ... thank-you so much for dropping by and joining my blog. I am so glad you did because now I have found you. These are images are gorgeous and I love the box garden .... it is stunning and you are doing it yourself. I have Japanese box at our house with two spirals at the front door which I attempt to trim! I also love the black toile/check chair and vignette .... I am a complete "Out of Africa" nut owning at least 3 copies and watch it regularly. The clothes and her home are incredible and yours reminds me of that... you have such gorgeous taste. I have always thought I was born in the wrong era as I have such an affinity with history. I have to say I also love marble and old books and botanicals! So I have just loved looking through these images! Thank-you and can't wait to see more. Have a wonderful week!

ps I love monograms as well on beautiful linen!
That garden project is exciting! I love all your old things (that doesn't sound nice but it IS!!) but the black and white checks grabbed my attention :) I'm grieving over the broken pottery...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, that courtyard is going to be spectacular!

OMG, your courtyard is to die for as well as your very beautiful puppy. I'm looking forward to what else you'll be doing in your garden. Tomorrow is our first full day of fall so everything is dying back here. Watching your garden come alive during my winter months will be wonderful. Thank you for stopping by my blog and I've returned the favor and added you to my blog roll.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful . I love your interior and your treasures. I can't believe fall is here in Provence and you are enjoying spring.
ReplyDeleteLove all your pretty objets especially that wonderful cushion sitting on the fab chair.
ReplyDeleteBon week-end a toi,

Beauty surrounds you!
