Oil on canvas


A rainy day in Burgundy. Scouring the Brocante. It was amazing what lay inside that doorway.

Upstairs Downstairs


I have been catching up on missed episodes of Downton Abbey. Inspired today to post this collection of fantastic pieces I found in Provence.

Taxidermy

When I was a stylist working in Toronto I often had to find Taxidermy creatures for photographers.
None were as sweet as these friends from France

Brocante


French Brocante. It gets my heart racing. I wish my suitcase could hold more things.

Child's Play

I have been busy getting ready for  The Christie Antique Show.  Unpacking all of my fabulous finds, creating vignettes .... enjoying my creative world.
When I was growing up nobody told me there would be such fun days ahead.
Some say it is hard work.
I think it is child's play.

Anemone

Anemone. One of my favourite blooms. Delicate petals with a dark, mysterious center.
So lovely.

Meringue and Blue Milk Glass

We are deep into winter and I am dreaming of sweeter days ahead.
Portieux Vallerysthal Milk Glass Compote sweetened with Meringue.
I found this beautiful milk glass compote at one of my favourite antique stores
in Michigan. Tucked away on the bottom shelf, waiting to be discovered
and loved again.
