The Inspiring Artwork of Christie Repasy

Today I am so delighted to share with you my collection of pieces from

one of my absolute FAVORITE artists around, Christie Repasy.

Christie's work is truly unmatched and she has such an incredible gift of

painting such breathtaking florals and other vintage style artwork.  Here

are a few of my favorite pieces that I am lucky enough to own...

The picture above is in my office.  I have three of her beautiful pieces

right above my desk that I look at every day while I'm working.

Here is a closer view of my shelf that I edited a few years ago.  One of

Christie's pieces graces the top, a large silver rose bowl that I purchased

from Urban Barn in Canada sits on the second shelf and the bottom shelf

holds a few pieces of pink Fenton art glass and other treasures.

I love looking at these while I'm working.  I don't have any of Christie's

pieces in frames.  They do look amazing framed, but I just love the

absolute simplicity of the canvas and seeing the art in its purest form.

Look at this amazing wooden waste basket.  It's spectacular.  I actually

don't use it for a waste basket.  Sometimes I have large bunches of flowers

in it, others times it holds vintage wallpaper and sometimes it has nothing

at all in it.  It really doesn't need anything, it's a piece of art unto itself!

I love this shelf!  It sits on the wall in our bedroom.  The

details on this are just incredibly beautiful!

Just look at the flow and design of this piece.  Delicious!

These are two larger pieces that I have in my front sitting room.  I have

had them on my wall here, with the same mirror in the center, for about

eight or nine years!  I know what you're thinking...and I am not kidding!

I used to be one of those people who moved things around in her house

every five minutes, but I'm just not like that anymore.  I did attempt to

take them down once about three or four years ago and try something

different in this space and the change lasted, literally, for an afteroon!

I just hated what I had done so everything came down and these went

back up.  Why mess with success right?!

I love how well these pieces go with my Italian tole mirror in the center.

I also have a matching chandelier...I wonder where that went...hmmm...

The last piece that I'm showing you today is this absolutely adorable little

wooden shelf with a basket of roses in the center.  It's really hard for me

to pick a favorite piece, I love them all so much, but isn't this one sweet!

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my collection of Christie's work.  If you

would like more information on Christie and her amazing artwork, here

Sweet Etsy Purchases

Just a short little post today to show you a few sweet purchases that I

made on Etsy in the past week.  I purchased this lovely petite Madonna

figurine a few days back.  In my post below I showed you my other

Madonna figurines on my front table and now I have this sweet little

one to add to my collection.  This is a Tilso piece that is made in Japan

and it is made out of porcelain bisque.

Now I have three of these lovelies in pretty peachy pink.

Does three make it a collection?  I think so...

The other purchase I made this week is this absolutely divine vintage

pink ruffled lampshade.  It has tiers of delicate pink ruffles, gimp type

trim, a pink florette with lace and white lace trim on the bottom.  It

is a clip-on shade for a smaller lamp.  I adore it!  I purchased it from

Debbie of PurpleFlowerFairy on Etsy.  Check out her shop - she has

really pretty treasures.  Her weakness is lamps and lampshades...kind

of like yours truly.  I can't resist them!

That's it for now.  I don't buy alot these days, I tend to sell more than

buy, but I wanted to share these two new additions with you because

I love them so much and think they're so pretty!

Thank you for stopping by.  Leave me a little comment.

I'd love to hear from you today!

I Love Victorian Trading Company!

Yes, I know...it's been absolutely weeks since I have blogged!

I have really been enjoying my summer and blogging has definitely been put

on the back burner!  I didn't realize that it has been over three weeks since

my last blog post!  So neglectful!  (*_*)

So today I thought I would share with you a few pictures from one of my

favorite mail order companies...Victorian Trading Company!

I know that alot of you are probably familiar with this beautiful online

company, but for those of you who are not, here are a few pictures for

you to drool over!  They sell beautiful reproduction Victorian clothing and

accessories including dresses, coats, gowns, hats, gloves, shoes and

everything in between to adorn your cute little self with!

They have really adorable seasonal items too and as you can see their Fall

catalogue is decked out with Halloween and fall decor pieces!  So fun!

Here are some really cute teapots, prints and other fall related treasures!

Don't mind the dull, grainy photographs...the weather was definitely not

cooperating with my camera today...but you get the idea!

This page shows off some of their beautiful lighting pieces...fairy lights,

candles, potpourri burners, sconces and the like...how beautiful!  I am

really loving that sweet little fairy light on the bottom right hand corner!

Here are some of their fall items with a bit of a gothic, noir feel to them.

One of the things that I love about this company is that they cater to

every price range out there under the sun...some items are really super

affordable, there are middle of the road pieces and then there are really

extravagant treasures like Italian cameos and beautiful furniture!

This last picture shows some of the beautiful china and kitchen items that

they carry.  Check out those gorgeous rose paper plates on the right hand

side.  Aren't they just the prettiest paper plates you've ever seen?!

Victorian Trading Company also has about five or six different catalogues

that they put out..Hearth & Home, Romantic Clothing, Castle & Cottage,

Stationery...just to mention a few.  They will happily send you all of their

print catalogues if you sign up for them.  Here is their link below...
