Hello!
I just wanted to write a quick post today....
I recently found this vintage Dutch sled for the shop.....
I thought they would be so cute to turn into a little hot chocolate bar during the holidays....
They also can still be used for sledding...
Lili is standing on a vintage french sled, we actually used this sled in the Better Homes and Garden
Christmas story.... The kids' tree was displayed on it....
This is an image of some of my most recent vintage french farmhouse finds....
On another note....
I am headed to Petaluma with the girls to attend a book signing with Marian Parsons of Miss Mustard Seed.... Marian is one of the first people I connected with when I first started blogging.
She has been such an inspiration to me and I know she has been an inspiration to so many of you.
It will be exciting to meet her in person.
We are also attending one of Marian's DIY Holiday Decorating Workshops today.....
It will be a fun day to remember.
The book signing is held at Summer Cottage Antiques in Petaluma, CA from 5:30 to 7:30.
Hope to see you there.
Take Care,
Maria

che belle queste foto!!! Quella del cane e la mia preferita :) e le porcellane bianche sono troppo chic. Ciao
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures, not only because I collect soup tureens, but because I have almost the same (Belgian) sled. It was mine and my sister's, but my children still use it.
