FRENCH WISHES...

I dream of traveling to Paris...

Shopping the brocantes & collecting treasures and bits along the way

traveling through the countryside, staying in an elegant French hotel

or maybe a little country house...

speaking the language perfectly of course :)

and living a French life for a little while

So when I found this dainty ornament of the Eiffel Tower (at Target)

with a 'Wish' sash tied to the top it was *LOVE*

and it had to come home with me.

I love the vintagey brassy gold color.

The wee little champagne glittered trees (also Target) are

'picks' that would go into an arrangement or your tree to add a bit of pizazz

but I flipped them upside down and saw tiny wispy gold trees

and knew just where they would go perfectly.

I was inspired by Anthropologie's darling little mason jar snow globes

(which have been copy catted all over the blogs!)

One of the wee gold trees sits quietly inside a jar covered with glistening snow.

Loving these and am making several variations

to give as gifts this year

so I will be sharing more of them soon.

Adding a few silver ornaments & a silver creamer for a tree stand

Darling for a little tabletop display or

for bringing a bit of Christmas cheer to a cupboard.
