Eclectic Collection of some of my Favorite Archive Photo's

Hi Everyone ...Super busy few weeks her at Maisonvogue ..I am sewing some items for my Friend's Baby Shower in March ..I am enjoying making items for a baby boy.
And of course once they are received I will show them to you.
So here are some of my favorite photo's of crafts I have done, flowers, Thrift store buys and my favorite things
Enjoy !!

Just some of the unusual containers I use for bulbs and fresh flowers. Use your imagination !!

The incredible Hand Crafted Paper wall banner ...a beautiful gift from a beautiful friend ..obviously made with love ....It will be cherished forever.

Heaped collections of Thrift Store buys and some of my hand crafted items and sewing creations

I love to make small hearts out of vintage lace etc...they also make such sweet gifts.

My favorite Vacation Cottage that we rented last April to celebrate our 18th Wedding Anniversary.

Vintage plates etc. are so romantic and I love to collect them when I am Thrift Store shopping.

A very cute find at the Thrift Store ...this Rabbit casserole reminds us that Easter will soon be here.

My Husband's Grandmother's old table lamp ..I have a pair and just love the hand painted roses ..the cute drinks coaster I found at the Thrift Store along with the metal plate holder that has Morning Glory flowers on it ...I framed one of my poems and stood it on the holder ...these items are on the night stand in the main Guest Bedroom.

Sunflowers always make me smile.
Spring is showing itself here in Alabama
With warm days of around 80f
Warm breezes
Snow Drops and Iris plants reaching up to the sun
Tulip Trees in full bloom lining the roadsides with big fluffy clouds of pink
I begin to unwrap my cocoon and let myself enjoy the longer sunnier days
Knowing that Winter will rear it's ugly head at least just once before it's safe to plant items in the garden
At Maisonvogue

Happy Days to you

Janet

Another one from Maisonvogue's Archive this one is from March 2015 ...Happy Saturday

Hi...Having a working lunch today as the day has gone by so quickly ..Lots of orders to complete

And lots of new designs to work on

How do you have lunch ??? I believe that living well doesn't have to mean buying expensive items I think it's more to do with how you make the most of your day and how you treat yourself

My day is always very busy but I always take just a few minutes aside and treat myself, several times a day

I always eat well and am very aware of what I put in my body ...lunch today was quick and easily made with eggs, some fresh vegetables and some left overs

I had cooked broccoli from yesterday along with a few black beans ..added some cherry tomato halves and a few bites of left over salmon ...used non stick spray and warmed it all up then just added two eggs that I whisked with a tiny amount of milk ...soon cooked up in no time ...add some freshly washed strawberries ...all washed down with some Sparkling San Pelligrino water and a dash of orange juice ...make the perfect no fuss lunch

Of course don't forget to serve it up in a pretty tray with lovely linen napkins and a pretty plate

Non of it expensive ..everything on my tray today except the silverware (cutlery) is from the thrift store, glass, tray, plate and linens ....always look at the fabric section of the thrift store and you will find many, many sets of discarded linen napkins ...all of mine are high quality from the Pottery Barn or Pier1 imports .cost me cent's instead of many dollars ...most totally unused still with the tags on ..just launder them and you have high quality treasures to keep forever

Treat yourself well

Here are the pillows I have been working on today

They have now been picked up by my mail carrier

And will soon be in the hands of my customers

All gift wrapped and I popped in some gift tags of

The design on their pillows ...I enjoyed making them

And wrapping them and I hope my customers

Will enjoy receiving a special parcel in the

Bright Pink Packages ..

The Peter Rabbit one is

Heading to Belgium !!

If you are eating in your office ...make lunch a little moment to enjoy

Pop a real linen napkin in your bag ..

Some real cutlery (silverware)

And a lovely treat to make you smile

Beatrix Potter comes to Tea at Maisonvogue

Tea Time is a special favorite at Maisonvogue

Especially if it's served in a Shelley Tea Cup

Shelley teacups are so dainty that they are lovely to drink out of ..I love this one and I love my heart shaped teaspoons with the 24ct gold handles that my dearest friend bought for me in Italy many , many years ago

Some wonderfully preserved letter's that Beatrix Potter wrote to her young friend , Noel

Beatrix Potter set of stamp images

What's not to love about French Macaroons !!

Beatrix Potter's Dolls House that she played with as a child

Just two of my Teatime Pillows that I designed, printed and made for myself the teacup one is available in my Etsy.com shop

My cute vintage cake stand I found at the thrift store

My Grandmother gave me my first tea set of this Colclough fine china in 1973 for my Engagement present ..I still have every piece and love to drink out of it

A photo frame I made in to a tea tray ..I designed the picture , printed it on fabric and put it behind the glass ..painted the frame and put handles on it ..I love it ..one of a kind

Just some of my favorite teacups at Maisonvogue ...the one in the foreground is Royal Albert 'American Beauty'

Some of my French collection ..these are my 'Quimper' coffee cups that I bought when I was in France

Happy Teatime Everyone

Kindest Regards

Janet
