The French inspired guest room welcomes you ~ but when empty something pretty was needed to prop the door open. This heavy resin, hand painted piece may have been made to use as a doorstop, it is flat on the back ~ if that was not its original function that's what it is now, and I love it!
And then...............step through the door into the room and what do you see but this fabulous French clock attached to a black iron stand. This is a beautiful and thoughtful gift from my friend Vanessa at Vanilla Lavender - we met for a little treasure hunting and lunch on Tuesday and had a great time together. Thanks again Vanessa ~ truly love the clock and will always think of you when I glance up at the armoire.

What a pretty clock. It looks right a home on the armoire... and how sweet of Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteToo hot to work outside today. What will you do today, Mary?
Hugs, Deborah
That is a beautiful gift! It was very thoughful. I love your doorstop. I use them both here and at the cottage. I got a rooster doorstop from Jos as a gift as I dream of owning chickens one day. Who knows, dreams can come true. I think yours is exceptionally pretty.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a rest~filled weekend ahead of you? I hope so as I think you need it. And sitting indoors will be the best thing in the temperatures you are about to get. I am going to post about inventive ways to water your garden on my blog on Sunday as a tribute to you. I will explain it all then...
Hi to Bob and happy weekend to you both!
