headboard redo...

I finished the first of my summer projects this past week... my Grandmother's headboard.  I originally hoped to sand it down to unfinished wood. But, as soon as I started sanding, I discovered the piece was actually particle board. So, I switched gears and decided to paint it with black chalkboard paint and scribbled this lovely French quote across it...  "chaque jour je t'aime d'avantage, au 'jourdi plus que hier, et bien moins que demain" - Rosemonde Gérard  It says- Each day I love you more, today more than yesterday, and much less than tomorrow.  {Thanks to my good friend, LV, for the quote inspiration.}  I love the black and I think it will look great with some crisp white bedding {that I have yet to find}... now onto the nightstands and dresser, I'm excited to get to work.

inspired * miss hannigan's necklace...

We've been watching some Annie around these parts... singing, dancing, great costumes... can't say that I mind.  One of Miss Hannigan's many necklaces keeps catching my eye, the one from "little girls".  Here's my take...

The open water pendant, available in the jewelry box very, very soon!

at my bench...

this is the very beginning of the next spring collection... the last few suites were full of sweet and pretty pastels, whereas these new arrivals {in the making} will be a bit funkier mixing pastels with black and earthtones.  

whispers...

as promised, one last collection for the week.  We're off to Duke gardens to play on this gorgeous Spring day.  I hope you all have a happy weekend!

new arrivals...

Yay!  New gems are in the box...  smooth pastels that are just perfect for spring!  And here's a little secret, one more collection of my favorite blue lace agate will arrive tomorrow.  stay tuned...
