I had fun this weekend searching for vintage goodies and rusty junk and added a few of my finds to my mantel. I've been searching for the fan type pieces of coral for some time now and got lucky enough to find two. I think one will make it's way to my bathroom for my shelf with apothecary items.
I also found this unique piece of sponge that reminds me of fingers in the same booth.
I wanted to add this old piece of paper with french writing on it, but couldn't make it stand on it's own. I clipped it to a clipboard for now and can't decide if I like it there or not...it might look better in my office. Just a few additions to give it a beachy feel just in time for the warm lazy days of Summer. Enjoy! xoxo K.
Today I'm excited to feature Jacqueline from Cabin & Cottage. Ever since I stumbled upon her blog I've been so amazed at all her wonderful vignettes. She also shares many different types of table settings which is always fun to get ideas from. I hope you enjoy some of her photos and if you haven't visited her before, please take some time stop by:-)





...i've been seeking treasures from the sea too...
ReplyDeletecoral, sea fans, glorious shells...
they bring the wonder of the those waves, home, as they have in your vignettes!
Happy W.W.!!

Hi Kathleen! Isn't it exciting when we find exactly what we're looking for when out treasure hunting? I call that "meant to be!" Loving your beachy mantle! Thanks for sharing and thanks for hosting today!
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes and Blessings,

I like the new piece of fan coral you were lucky enough to find. Makes a great new addition to the vignette you've created. I really do like the french script paper as a back drop to the clock under the glass. Thanks for introducing Jacqueline and I'm going over now to take a tour. Thanks for hosting Faded Charm.

Your finds are wonderful for a beachy summer feel. I just added seashells to my coffee table. The finger ones will look good at Halloween too. Thanks for hosting White Wednesday. I love seeing all the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, love these photos so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting..:)
I love this vignette! I can't seem to get enough of clear glass these days. And the French script is fabulous. It's definitely on my list to find. So pretty all together!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for mentioning me Kathleen! It's pretty exciting for me to have my name up in lights! White Wednesday was the first party I joined when I became a blogger a year ago, and I'm still as excited to do a white post as I was then. Thanks so much for hosting such a fun time of the week!
I do love our beachy white theme... I've gotten a calling in my heart for white star fish lately... I'm on the hunt.. you've inspired me to keep going forward... now I want some of the "finger sponge" too! Happy White Wednesday! Dixie
ReplyDeleteI have seen quite a few sea fans about in blog land. I love natural things to decorate with also. You have some pretty things for your mantle. Thanks for hosting another WW.

I must say stunning coral...and I really like the clipboard there is looks a bit industrial with all the pretties whites...great contrast & great reading!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful White Post, I love the coral & the bottles with candles, so soft & Summery....
