When I stayed in what my friend Corey described as "the most beautiful place in Provence" ~ and she was so right ~ I fell in love with everything in Nathalie's amazing house. Her little hallway with the black walls and beautiful accessories, including the bust of a lady, became a decorating project in my home when I returned after staying at La Madone in Provence.
Nathalie's hallway at La Madone, Provence ~ October 2008
I do have the dark walls ~ paint color is Valspar's Graphite ~ a mirror, table and small crystal candelabra, but I'm still hoping to find a lady as lovely as Nathalie's.All of these above are at Market Imports, however they are too large for my little table so I'm still hunting.

Thanks, for the heads up about this place. I had been in there many times when it was the garden center, but not since. We go to the farmer's market often, so we will have to stop in.
ReplyDeleteOf course, you can join in Saturday. I've missed you.
Oh, I can't wait. My husband and I will be staying at La Madone at the end of September. I and so looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding the small bust.
I have a love of busts, as well. I have two in my home of which I am especially fond. They wear roses at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHello there! though I have taken a blog break, I can't resist catching up with yours ... what treasures your photos and words are.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about statues that draws me in? I don't know if it's just because they look like part of the Old World or what, but I just love them! I hope you find the perfect one for your table! ~Lori
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love this post. So much eye candy. Good luck in finding the perfect piece.

I have always wanted to go to Provence. Read so many books about it.
ReplyDeleteI said I would come back today.
ReplyDeleteIve always wanted a big statue of a greek goddess in my garden but they are so expensive. You have some wonderful things on your blog----------cottonreel
Hi Mary.....Your post makes me super excited to leave for France. It's only 12 days away now. We are going to Avignon and doing a tour of the lavender fields there. I can't wait!

I love the busts you have shown! I can't wait for you to find the perfect one for your home. It will be wonderful seeing it placed in your hallway.

I am sure the perfect lady bust will be lucky enough to find you Mary! Such lovely photographs as always!
ReplyDeleteI love all the items on your blog especially the garden urns and other stuff, Whenever we go to france I spend hours looking around these places and dreaming about how to get stuff home, well now we have a caravan I just may fill it before we come home with lots of these beauty's. We are off to North Devon next weekend for two weeks and I want to see Clovelly it look so pretty. I will drop by again to see the goodies.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Mary, I hope you find the perfect bust for your entry. I too love that look. Here in the mountains, it is a bit formal though. I love your decorating style and you have the perfect ability to find just the right accent. Keep on shopping. I know you love the hunt. Big smile.
ReplyDeleteLove, Jeanne
My cousin had a bust sitting in her home too. I saw several at the flea market in Germany, but would have had to dump everything else to bring it home! I am still looking around here for one too. I would love to go to the farmers market. My aunt lives in the Raleigh area, and I have been meaning to pay a visit to her. I'll mention the market, she loves things like that too!
ReplyDeleteAhh...provence1 how dreamy adn romantic a place. One day, one day...
