White Palette

Welcome to White Wednesday!
Several of you inquired about this little advertising painter's palette that appeared in a post a few days ago...
I thought I would show you the reverse side.
Rob's Mom gave it to me and if I remember correctly she said it belonged to her mother....



That's all I know!....click to enlarge for details



Talk about wild women!
One bare shoulder sitting on that furry rug...



...and this little one is even more daring!
...in her matching outfit and sitting on a ruffled tuffet...



...Now this one sitting in her straight back chair doesn't seem to be related...
...possibly not even on the same planet!



Moving along with my whites....
...pearly buttons in icy snow...



white balls of string...



love the textures...



love the sheen!

For more participants in White Wednesday...
... please visit Kathleen at Faded Charm!

Hope your Wednesday is a happy one....
...ours will be white again...in fact snow is expected on and off with sleet and freezing rain right through the rest of the week...
Enough already!
Good night!

All Around The House

This fall I am sorting through old finds ...from up in the attic...out in the shed...down in the basement...all around the house...



Several years ago, I was surprised to find this wonderful old French hatbox at a house sale up in the Adirondack mountains. It was an unexpected treasure among fishing poles and rustic camp items...



This lovely gray wool short waist jacket has interesting details...I love the ivory trim...and the asymmetrical fabric covered buttons. The front closes with hidden hooks and eyes...

...I wonder who this sweet jacket belonged to....and what sort of person she was...and what she looked like...and if she went to school or married and had children...I wonder if she loved art or music...I wonder what her story was...
I wonder about the stories behind all these old treasures....
Do you?
...OK.... back to work Laura! :)
