Be Inspired: #135: At Home With White

Hi Everyone and Welcome to Be Inspired!

We might not all decorate with just "whites", but we all love and appreciate it's serene, calm, and fresh approach to decor. When at a flea market, or show event, I know I'm always drawn to those spaces that are predominantly "white". Spring is the perfect compliment to "whites" in our home decor, so my first pick of links this week is Sandi from A Cottage Muse.

Sandi has a shop space here,
and took us along for the At Home With White Show,
at the Wrentham Country Store.

She has several posts on this amazing event,

you'll want to check them out.

Lamp Revamp from Mallori

at Vintage Finds
lovin' this modern square shade on a vintage piece.

You might not know what this is...

But if you want a good laugh and a funny story of an estate sale

from two wacky bloggers

then click here.

No, it's not a Pottery Barn catalog page,

it's Pat from Back Porch Musings

who sat a wonderful Springtime table for two.

Amy At All Things Home shares a wonderful moment with her youngest daughter

and reminds us how blessed we all are, in her post "A Table of Plenty".

And Linda from It All Started with Paint has had me drooling all week

for her Mason Jar Lemon Meringue Pie

Today's Be Inspired Sponsor is Dee from French Bleu Vintage

 Dee has an ever changing and updated online boutique that's full of wonderful vintage and antique treasures. Transferware, home decor, lovely china, and object's d'art abound. Hope you'll run by the shop and take a look.

Thanks Dee!

Hope you'll join in for today's party,

A few romantic whites...

I'm always drawn to spaces in white,

so today I'm sharing a few lovelies 

from my visit last week to

The Vintage Suitcase.

I fell in love with this dress form 

adorned with a vintage lace table topper!

(does she look familiar? she's in my header)

always something inspiring at "The Suitcase".

And remember,

The Marketplace is live all week.

(a party to link up your Etsy and Online Boutique items)

Christmas in the Cupboard

With just a week left before Christmas, I still have a few things around the house that I've wanted to share with you. My Holiday Cupboard went all white this year, as I sorted through my putz houses and churches. I  was going to do just white ironstone and a few new (to me) pieces of red transferware, but each time I thought about it, I knew my little churches needed to come back out.

just a little wonky steeple.

I love these guys, he looks like he has on a "stache", te he.

 Print of a church from England from an old book plate.

 I hope they're not head butting!

Most of my little churches are old, but a few are new, and then some are made to hold candles inside. Pretty much a mish mash, but I love them.

 This print from the 40's makes me long for the more simpler times in life; bundled up, walking to the country church.

Looks like my helper is fancying a little "Christmas Goose"!
