'Beautiful Ten' Pre-Holiday Giveaway

I stumbled upon this blog tonight and I must say I fell in love, and I can't wait to spend time seeing what else she has to offer.  You can find her at Fabulous Fifi.  Here is her giveaway:

These beautiful ballet slippers:

This adorable pink glittery pumpkin

I LOVE these pale aqua organza tiebacks from France

A Chanel black and gold ribbon (amazing)

She has so many other amazing items she's giving away.  Check it out.

French Garden House

I found a cute new place to shop with French finds. 

French Garden House.com.  She carries furniture, antiques

Paris boudoir, Holiday decor, & other fabulous things.

Her French linens are amazing, she even has vintage

French floral and fashion prints.

I agree with Libby that antique finds have more character to your home.

Check out my favorites from her store.

Vintage Ritz Carlton Hotel Silver Butter Dishes:

All of her silver pieces are amazing.  From the antique hotel silver bowls to the silver 

flatware with the mother of pearl handles....

She has the Shabby Ruffled Romance White Cotton Tablecloth as seen in Southern Living. 

 

I bought this Vintage Union Ceramique Hotel Limgoes Tip Tray.  It was used in a French

Hotel and was made in the early 1900's.  It has a black crest with an S topped with a croyal crown.

This settee is amazing - I love most all the furniture she has....

It gives me great ideas of things to look for - especially since

Round Top is coming up soon.

I LOVE spring! And I've definitely been enjoying this one.

More Mother's Day flowers (I seperated the boquet &

made small arrangements to put throughout the house)

This is from Raised In Cotton - These are lilacs in blue mason jars.

She just moved into a farmhouse she was building.  Beautiful photograph.

I've been out on the bike trail every day enjoying this spring weather;

I've been to some estate sales, which I'll post pictures of later;

& I've been taking Noble to swim lessons. Today was his

second lesson & he swam underwater a little!
