Sunday Favorites My favorite post from:

~My French Studio Office~
**

*

Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous Friday!

*

Ohhh my goodness...it has been a crazy...busy...summer!  I have hardly had time to catch my breath but I had a couple of hours today so thought I would share a few photos with you of my frenchy studio office...especially since I have the desk cleared off now!  Hehe!  I hope that you enjoy!!!

*

My Frenchy Studio/Office...

*

Here we are in my frenchy studio office.

*

Thought I would give you a little tour around my desk...especially since it's cleaned off at the present.  I have to tell you...my little desk area is seldom sooo clean!  Hehe!  My frenchy studio seems to be "catch all"....for all kinds of goodies.

*

The photos are pretty self-explanatory...so I will try and keep my notes at a minimum.

*

*

Come on in...and have a little look around!

*

*

My desk "hosts" a few of my favorite things!
*
Old Iron Garden Gate/ Memo Board
*
An old, rusty iron gate hangs on the wall behind the desk.  It works perfectly for a "memo board" so to speak.  I have a few of my "favorite things" hanging on this old ornate garden gate!  All of the old gate latches are still intact on this gate...I just love it!!!

*

*

....like a few of my favorite interior design books

*

and

*

my little french girl bust!

*

*

A pretty french vignette for the left-hand side of my desk.

*

*

This beautiful french chandelier lamp was created "just for moi" by a dear, sweet friend! 

It's just perfect for the desk in my frenchy studio!

**

 

*

Yes...that is our wedding photo.  Honey and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary in June!

*

To the right of our wedding photo...you will see one of my favorite little cherubs!  I truly love all sweet cherubs!  This little guy is holding a leaf in his hands...and a sweet little bird is taking rest on the edge of the leaf.

*

*

Oooh...just look at all of the treasures on the leaf!

*

A few pieces of vintage jewelry...pearls and rhinestone pendants.

*

*

*

*

*

This gorgeous perfume bottle was a gift from the dear lady who made my chandelier lamp.  It's tiny and soooo very delicate!

*

The beautiful butterfly is a gift from Laurie...our dear hostess for "A Few of My Favorite Things" party!  The butterfly opens up...it's a little container.  I just love all the different colored rhinestones on the butterfly's wings...sooo very pretty and precious!  Thank you, dear Laurie...this little butterfly is truly one of my "favorite" things!!!

*

*

*

*

A tarnished, old silver tray holds one of my favorite photo books...another gift from a sweet friend!

*

Another vintage piece of jewelry is sitting soooo perfectly atop the book.  I love vintage pendants...this particular piece belonged to my dear, late mother-in-law!

*

*

"Amazing Grace"
How Sweet the Sound

*

This tiny framed picture..."Amazing Grace"...sat on my grandmother's dresser.  I treasure it with all of my heart!!!  Amazing Grace was one of my Grandma's favorite hymns.  I have always aspired to be like my grandma...who was the sweetest and kindest person that I have ever known!  She loved the Lord with all of her heart.  I don't think I ever heard one bad thing ever come from my Grandma's mouth...she was truly a saint!  I miss her terribly but I know that I will see her again...because of God's amazing grace!!!

*

Well dear friends...I hope you enjoyed the little tour around the desk in my french studio!  Hopefully I will be able to share more of my french studio next week...so stay tuned!

*

*Warmest autumn wishes!

***Just a little note: Sunday Favorites Criteria***

*

When I first started the Sunday Favorites meme, my initial thought was to offer a solution for getting a post out on the weekend without having to spend alot of time doing so...weekends are just a busy time for most of us! Copying and pasting a previous post is so quick and easy. Not only is this a quick and easy solution to the busy weekends, but it's also an opportunity to dig back into our blog archives and share a favorite "past" post once again! Many of us spend alot of time and effort creating a post and it just seems a shame that it is viewed only once and then forgotten about!

*

I would like to reiterate that Sunday Favorites is a meme about sharing or revisiting a post from the PAST!  Please do not add a freshly published post to the Sunday Favorites party...it is NOT what this party is about.

*

Thank you!!!
