found this little treasure for 50 cents at the flea this weekend. oh joy! a perfect onion basket.
and this little gem float in Bethany's lot up in the attic. what a shame to have it hidden away and exactly what I've been looking for.
look at this candle holder with lace between the glass on all four sides. another flea market treasure that I couldn't resist and when I picked it up to clean it, I found a Pottery Barn sticker on the bottom. it has the look of something I'd covet in one of the Jeanne d'Arc magazines!
be still my heart...

Sorry girls....I've been out of commission getting adjusted to a new job and dealing with the stress level of being out there in the real world. Nothing about it is fun for me. I truly miss the friendships and peaceful dealings with the women from the days of Enchanted Treasures. I usually keep these things to myself but I think about Rachel Ashwell and how she opened up her broken heart from a failed business and everything that goes along with it. Surely, the comparison is on a much smaller scale but the feelings are still there. The lack of time for creativity, rushing around...not my style for sure but I hope to pop in now and then!
feeling better already...thanks for listening.
Oh Roberta, I have missed you so! I do hope things start going your way, you are such a beautiful and talented lady... I adore you! Your little finds are wonderful! Please keep happy thoughts... my grandma always used to say "everything will come out in the wash" and she was usually right... Love to you! Bisous... JUlie Marie

ReplyDeleteI too, have been wondering where you have been. I think continuing to post will do you good. I just bought Rachel Ashwell's new book and I love the graceful way she thanks everyone who stood by her during the hard times. I think you will find that too. I believe you are a creative person and hope you continue to be even though you are in a job that doesn't require those qualities. Don't lose sight of your dreams!!
Best of luck...and I adore your new treasures!!
xoxo

ReplyDeleteSweet Roberta,
ReplyDeleteI love your finds, especially the candle light, it is beautiful and looks like something from days long gone by - certainly a keeper.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you try to find some time to renew your spirit with creating and positive people. Hang in there!
I just checked in with your mantel and love all the religious items you've used and the story of your grand father. Talk soon and don't forget to be good to yourself.
