Symphony of White Fleurs on my Walk


Bon jour sweet friends,
 ~ this very busy first week of 2011 ~

White orchids, vintage champagne bottle, roses, candles & baubles galore

Just a quick post today for 
my White Wednesday entry
from the heart & the Maison

I spotted this glorious window filled with 
White Fleurs of all kinds
over the New Year's holiday weekend

A symphony of white fleurs speaks to my soul

It so inspired me while on my walk
with all it's beauty.  

The beautiful window
created a song in my heart,
 I knew I needed to share it with you.

Love the chippy white cabinet in the background
I would love something like it in my little potting shed
for next spring and summer... stashing all my goodies
and pots from France inside, stacked in a mix et match

Chippy goodness cabinet in background & vintage champagne bottle ~ Perfect!

Even background buildings reflected in window are of inspiration (never mind my hand ;)


Complete with a vintage French bench
Why not try for perfection?

Oui, I will have a seat on the French, rusty bench next time!

Have a seat?
Lovely... have a seat and while away the hours

Just after I spotted this window, 
I jaunted over to my friend, Barbara's shop.
She gifted me this beautiful blossom
which perfumed the maison all weekend long
and is still sharing its beauty & scent with us here.

Beautiful blossom at My Petite Maison on sideboard

I will be taking you on a tour of Barbara's
beautiful store in upcoming weeks too
(it's all whites, creams & grays).

I hope the photos from my walk
inspired you as well.  From now on I will
definitely place my white roses from the grocer
in an array of arrangements to inspire me at home.

Please be sure to stop in Kathleen's White Wednesday
and see what other inspiration is in store for you this week.


This is a very busy week for me playing catch up
after the New Year's holiday.
I'm making new additions to the dreams
I want to achieve this year too.  


You too?
I'd love to know about them.
I begin an exciting class next week
and I can't wait to share a little
of what I create with you and tell
you more about the journey.


Happiness to you!
