When I first started blogging I knew it would be a lot of
fun but never in my wildest dreams did I think of all the wonderful treasures I
would find. Mona over at Providence LTD Design has a fabulous antique shop and if you haven’t visited
you really should but be forewarned you won’t be able to resist!

I first saw these framed 18th century script when
she did the symphony designer show house back in April here. There they were hanging
in the hall in all their glory and I knew I had to have a pair but didn’t
purchase them until recently since I didn’t have a place for them.
I knew from just looking at them that they would be the
perfect backdrop for my urns on the pedestals that mister man recently made for
me. I didn’t want a painting or photograph that might over shadow the rest of
the vignette but something that would work in conjunction as a whole. I love,
love, love how it all came together, thank you Mona!

The other thing Mona had shown at the symphony house was a
wonderful Italian candelabra there was just something about it that spoke to
me.

So it too came home to live in my new studio under an
Italian hanging. Mona is in the process of updating her shop and promised to
have it up and running soon but in the meantime there is plenty in her shop to
get you dreaming!

Another purchase came from Christine over at greige a shop filled
with most everything you can image. I bought this wonderful French market tote
and have used it several times already. Not only is it functional, green but
also very stylish, I love it! Be sure
to check out her flea market finds if you want a tote like this and best part
is they come in three colorways!

And for my kitchen I purchased both these wonderful breads
boards from under spanish moss in their LaCraze shop. Angela and Renee have worked hard to bring
you the very best in home furnishings. I plan on using my bread boards for more
then just bread they would make wonderful serving trays for just about anything
and with the holidays just around the corner they came into my life just in
time!
All these ladies work very hard at not just a regular job
but their blogs and blog shops so be sure to pay them a visit and tell them
Debra sent you!
Have you purchased anything from a blog shop? If so I would love to hear about because you know we all need something wonderful!

that's it, I'm ramping up stuffintheburbs next week
thanks for the kick in the pants
18th century items are so hard to find. You did good and they look great. Richard from My Old Historic House.
Beautiful !! Especially the 18 century scripts! I bought some old documents in France last summer. The bread boards are very popular in Holland and Belgium at the moment, they are so lovely and decorative!
I haven't yet purchased something from a blog shop but have a hunch that when I move and start decorating my home, I will be making lots of stops in them and hers looks AMAZING. She has a wonderful curated eye and I just once I move (and am motivated to actually start putting things in my house) hers will be one of the first I visit!
You just had to go and show me that didn't you?!! *winks*
That framed piece of script is perfect with your hubbys pedestal! And yeppers I can see that the sconce is perfectly "you" also.
Of course I love to shop blogs, but I've never seen Mona's....And now I have a feeling I'm gonna get myself in trouble lol! Vanna
Debra these are all the best finds.
These women, Mona, Christina, Renee and Angela have have not only fabulous blogs, but terrific shops and unusual items for any home decor!
