I love elegant things. When I decorate, I use feminine touches. The simpler and prettier, the more I like it. My eyes seek out curved lines, gentle colors, and age worn items.
Some fun finds
A pink vintage pin and Marie Antoinette brooch
These pink little doll shoes with silver tone buckles are so sweet
When I was first married, I was advised that I should just buy cheap items that I could afford, and one day I would be able to upgrade. I’m glad I didn’t take that advice. I would rather have an empty space than fill my home with stuff I’d eventually throw away. I’ve taken my time and only bought what I love. Living in empty rooms isn’t so bad . . . and it gives you an opportunity to explore your creativity.
This French mirror is the perfect plateau for the doll shoes or the pin below.
Enjoy your weekend!

Elegance is definitely a word that comes to mind when I think of your beautiful blog and beautiful items you share with us!!!
Nancy, your finds are so beautiful:) the mirror and the tiny small shoes are my favorites!!!
I love the elegant touches that you add to your home.
I thing you were smart to collect what you love,
and to fill your world with your treasures.
I adore those wonderful doll shoes…

Amen, Sister. I too, would rather do without than rush ahead. There are serendipitous surprises everywhere. You just have to watch for them. Sometimes they sneak up behind you and surprise you. Beautiful pictures of lovely treasures. It's always a pleasure to visit.
I want to shop where you shop!
Beautiful.

Like you Nancy, I'd Rather have nothing that something I don't love. Sweet slippers and mirror!
Constance
I agree dear friend, I would rather have nothing than a house filled with throw-aways. Beautiful post!! Love those shoes!!

What a beautiful brooch. It's too bad people have stopped wearing them.
The shoes are lovely. I totally agree with you about buying quality items--my husband and I sometimes feel like our place is empty, but I would rather have just a few things than a bunch of junk that would fill a landfill someday.
Have a great weekend,
Margaret
Nancy,
I agree, I'd rather have nothing on the walls or tables until I have something I truly love.
I am in love with those shoes! I too agree with living without until you find the perfect thing...it is an expensive lesson to learn.
Hugs,
Penny
Absolutley wonderful.. I LOVE those shoes!!
smiles, deena
You have such a good eye. I love the dolls shoes in particular:)Rachael
Nancy,
I just adore that Marie brooch! And doll shoes have always been one of my favorites..it's amazing how sold separately they can cost as much as the doll..especially the French one of course. :)
Maybe we'll get lucky and find a pair or two in Paris. :)
Thanks so much, Nancy, for sharing the feather info & for the nice comment on my ATC!
Cheers,
Teri
So Beautiful Nancy... you make my heart sing with all the lovelies that you so graciously share with us
