Spent most of the morning making my first treasury east at etsy.com.

Turquiose for Sheena

Some things I thought
might interest the eyes of
anyone who likes french country, retro, or atomic decor for their homes.
Sheena loves these kinds of instant collections and if they have turquiose the better they are.




A beautiful country farm kitchen would light up with these beauties.








A wonderful candy jar for the counter.





Serving dishes for any party.







What better place to keep fresh cherry tomatoes.







Morning coffee, Oh, so good.







All festive food would taste great from a plate like this one.

One of my Mother's Day gifts was to be featured on labonnefemme1blogspot. My daughter also has two etsy shops which are nocarnations.etsy.com and labonnefemme.etsy.com.
Our family adores vintage even with the flaws that sometime accompany them. Thanks Sheena

Keeping your wedding green.

Live Moss



I have just discovered the beauty of making terrariums again after 30 years. I remember when you gave them as presents to everyone for everything. Of course I am starting off with the small ones and the soaked sheet floral moss. For beginners this is a good way to try different glass containers.
Pack potting soil tightly against glass and lay in the mosses and lightly tap to pack. I spray with water lightly about every two weeks.
Chair pic is from a live moss ordering company.

Christmas Present


My daughter gave these iris bulbs for Christmas and they bloomed this spring. Lovely white with bright yellow centers.

What is This?


Just found this set at a roadside sale and I think it is a spice holder set for cooking? Can anyone help with this?
