(Once) Now upon a time there (was) IS a fairy painting goddess who creates beauty
wherever she (goes) (touches) paints!
I am sure you know this beautiful lady ~ Celeste ~ @ larearose ... but if you do not, you run right over there & get acquainted with this beautiful lady.
Celeste has a passion for shoe molds. Her grandfather was a shoemaker in the old country.
She sent this gorgeous beauty for me to use as a paper weight or just part of our decor. It sits gracefully on our mantle beside the baby shoe she created for me.
THANK YOU for this beautiful birthday
gift Celeste, I'll treasure it forever!
And, then to boot (I couldn't resist!) she painted my
English teapot that I found at that fabulous yard
sale a couple weeks ago.
I am presenting to you Celeste's beautiful redo of
my teapot ... as it sits elegantly atop the awesome
runner that Spencer @ Bellamere Cottage gifted
me with.
The dining room is so beautifully graced by these two elegant creations of (2) gifted sweet friends.

This was very special for me, as it is my birthday present to 'moi'!
Look at the awesome dainty lace-ing Celeste added
with the little dots.
Roses of perfection adorn ... accented by scallops ...
... on both sides.
And, tucked in that box delivered ...
are (2) more wee shoe molds, ...
Well, now you KNOW you wanted to see another
pic of our little Miss M at 2 days old. Picture
of pink perfection ... love her so!
They can be used as ornies on our Christmas tree ...
Smothered in delicate roses & sparkly
touches, ribbon & bows ...
They gracefully adorn our kitchen table vignette
to enjoy every day.
And, just lil' ol me popping in to say 'have
a beautiful PINK day!
Thank you for all your sweet comments, prayers & warm love ... you mean so much to me.
These are the most precious gifts... I love the painted roses! The teapot is so elegant with the bouquet.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, I can't forget that darling, darling baby...she is so pretty! And honey...you are right up there with her! Love to you and Hubby!

P.S. can you please shoot me Sis's phone number?
Hi Marydon,
ReplyDeleteOh your precious Miss M is gorgeous. Just a little angel for sure.
Love your table runner from Spencer. It is gorgeous on your dining room table.
So sweet of you to share your teapot and shoe molds. It was my joy to do them and I am glad you are enjoying your collection.
The tea pot lid will settle down closer as time goes on. Push on it once and awhile to flatten it. The paint causes it to get tighter.
Thank you for your kind words.
You bless me so.
Much love and friendship,
Celestina Marie
