Of course I promptly cleaned it up and put it on display. The lace angel wings and white fabric heart (also listed in my Etsy store) were gently placed against the window. The two frames nearby were originally located in the master bedroom (and were brown), but I moved them here with their recent coat of Heirloom White spray paint. I've heard rave reviews about the paint from Donna's blog.
Can you believe the varied colors in these hydrangeas? They were some late bloomers from our bushes outside:
I thought this crinkled seam binding blended right in with the flowers:
Another find at Michael's crafts were these mini pocket watch faces. I got the idea to transform them from Mikey's blog 'Shabby French Cottage'. See his post here to learn how.
Lastly, here are some new pillows I'll be adding to my Etsy store. Vintage Belgium ribbon is sewn to the front of each pillow, with a hand-embroidered matching number in the center.
There's still time to enter my giveaway!
Sharing all these whites with Kathleen's White Wednesday party. Thanks Kathleen!
Also sharing with Feathered Nest Friday and Vintage Inspiration Friday.

Thanks so much for giving me and my blog a nod, that is sweet of you! And how exciting for Michelle! I just started following her beautiful blog, and I adore her style! I'll have to check out those clock faces too, love that look!
Great window find! I really love your watch faces too! That has been one of my favorite projects of late--mostly because of the nearly instant gratification!
Love!
