Shabby Cottage Chic Jewelry Box

Shabby Cottage Chic...what it looks like to me...
decorating in soft tones...lots of white...vintage....chippy... distressed wood....worn and loved fabrics....greens....blues....pinks....browns....all the pretty soft colors of a spring day misted over with dew and soft sunlight.
Sea Breeze Blue jewelry box... black velvet lining...lots of storage room for all your favorite jewels.
This box is a heavy wooden box from the 1980's that I found at a thrift shop.  I love the black velvet lining and the heavy black wrought iron handles and latch. 
It has been upcycled by me and painted with this lovely soft blue paint.  I sanded and then waxed it with bees wax by hand to bring out a soft satin patina.

How do you like my little collectible  Avon Lamb?  It still has some perfume in it.  I think it is the sweetest little lamb and I couldn't resist getting it to ad to my shop pictures.

Vintage Weddings

I can imagine a whole wedding around these two items...
Bridal Party Hat
Country Farmhouse Wedding...
Wedding Silver

I imagine a summer wedding late in the afternoon.  On the lawn under the elms.  A romantic dinner prepared by family and friends.  Children playing in the grass, the family pets mingling with my guests.  Warm breezes tickling exposed shoulders and soft music to dance to.  Fireflies coming out as the sun sets...
