Winter Vignettes

Sharing some simple white scenes here at home...

At one time I had attempted to spray paint these brown twig hearts white.  The color never really absorbed in, but I do like the grayish result:
a reminder to dream...

It's hard to capture the pretty view from this window with all the sunlight coming in, but there was snow on the ground and tree when I snapped the photo:

This lovely vintage book on the left was found recently on a shopping trip with Michelle.  We visited a nearby antique mall and chatted lots while we browsed.  I don't think either of us came home with much, but our 'picker sister' adventures are always fun!

More vintage treasures are showcased nearby:

These sweet vintage cards get me in the mood for Valentine's day...

    I really love those vintage cards! And your pictures are just beautiful with all the sunlight streaming in your windows. It was very cold, gray and a bit snowy here today. Send some sunshine this way! :)

    XO,

    What beautiful winter vignettes you've created! Just love all the white, as usual. Those books are so beautiful, I love old religious illustrations. They're always so tender. And your picking adventures sound like so much fun! Wish I could come!~

    So pretty! And I have been looking for the font used in your "DREAM" banner forever. Do you by chance know what font that is?
