I got an early Christmas present from my hubby yesterday, a wonderful vintage watering can from Atelier de Campagne.
They have the most beautiful things, but I had to hold back a bit and only choose 2 things. Let me tell you, it was not easy!! :)
I was finally able to meet Trino and Martin, and they are just the sweetest. Thank you both for being so gracious to me and my family!!
I added some white tulips and Chinese Mums in white to tie in with my Christmas decor.
This is the 2nd thing I chose, a wonderful French mushroom basket to hold all of my vintage linens.
I had my first shoot last Monday and it actually went pretty well. I had been so nervous a few days before, but once we got started with the photos, I felt more relaxed and we all had a wonderful time. It was great practice for me!
I also wanted to tell you that I am a contributor for Houzz Guest Picks every month, so if you'd like to follow me, just click here: Alabaster Rose Designs Houzz Ideabook.
