French Treasures

"Be faithful to your own taste because
nothing you really like is ever out of style."
                              ~Billy Baldwin

   Crazy week as usual but today is my day off and I wanted to do a post about some beautiful things! Thankyou to everyone who left comments about the Movie Costumes - I'm so glad that you enjoyed the photos! I had so much fun taking them and the exhibit was so lovely I was very excited to share it! Today I have taken photos of some of the treasures in my house that revolve around my favorite style - French! I find that french furniture, ornaments, and accessories are the most beautiful and feminine that a girl can find. They have an elegance and softness that appeals to me so much and when I see them I automatically feel at home. I have also done a new little drawing that I thought fit with the whimsical side of French interiors. I hope you enjoy these few French treasures and find time to relax and enjoy the beautiful autumn afternoons.

    What beautiful pieces you have. I love all the hand painted china and especially the roses. The stand table is divine and I am sure can be used in many spaces in your home. I am so glad you came by my blog, My Old Historic House for a visit, and especially glad you left a nice comment. I am your newest follower and hope to visit you more often. Same goes with me, please drop by again soon. I hope you are enjoying this beautiful fall day, it is just beautiful here in Missouri. I send you big Sissy Dog kisses and a fond good bye. Richard
