marie antoinette and a giveaway...

Giveaway time is here! The wonderful people at CSN Stores offered me a $40 gift certificate to any one of their online stores to give away to YOU!! As I began to browse through all their great stores Jim mentioned how he still wants to turn our den back into a dining room , so we took at look at their dining room furniture and thought this set might be nice. However we have also been looking for a new outdoor dining set for our deck and thought this set might be nice. Of course he asked the same question ~ "Why is everything you pick out white?" When will he learn!! Speaking of white ~ it is White Wednesday and Kathleen is hosting again over at Faded Charm. Today I thought I would give you a glimpse of some Marie Antoinette inspired treasures. First is this fabulous old clock that I bought from Mary Ellen... When I saw it I knew it would be perfect for my Paris Hotel Suite... I knew right away that it would look perfect with my mother of pearl opera glasses and my own "Paris" mannequin... There are alot of "Marie-inspired" treasures around the shop... Pretty in white and in color too...

Look how beautiful this piece is ~ I photographed it last week thinking it was a desk... But soon realized (thanks Mary Ellen) that it is a vanity... Full of wonderful treasures like this stunning vanity set... Just look how pretty...

Hmmm...I think I will add a "Marie Inspired" trinket to my giveaway! So please leave me a comment on this post to be entered to win and if you mention my giveaway on your blog please leave another comment letting me know which will give you another entry! Giveaway ends Tuesday, July 20th and I will announce the winner next White Wednesday the 21st. The sweet girl working with me at CSN wanted me to remind you that there may be shipping charges on what you select and for international readers (wow ~ you think I have some?) there may be international fees. Ok ~ enough with the technical stuff. Happy White Wednesday everyone and for visiting me today I say ~ Merci Beaucoup!!
