WHITE WEDNESDAY #18

Mie dolci bloggherine,
è già da un pò che ho trascurato, pur sentendone enormemente la mancanza, l'appuntamento settimanale del White Wednesday così carinamennte ospitato da Kathleen di Faded Charm.
E' che nonostante i buoni propositi, la vita, la famiglia, il lavoro si mettono tra i piedi e... inevitabilmente l'amatissimo blog finisce in fondo alla lista di priorità.
Durante l'ultimo mercatino dell'antiquariato che ho visitato, assai scadente debbo dire - una decina di deludenti bancarelle in tutto - ho finalmente trovato un pò di ispirazione.
Avendo finalmente venduto l'appartamento di mia madre, mi sto concentrando ora sulla scelta, assai ardua, di trovare una casetta con giardino ed ecco che quello che prima passava inosservato ora attrae la mia attenzione.
Che ne dite di questi puttini bianchi, un pò invecchiati, ma deliziosi?

My sweet bloggerettes,
much to my regret haven't been able to join the fun of Kathleen's weekly White Wednesday appointment.
It's just that with family, work and most of all LIFE, time never seems to be enough and first things must inevitably come first hence my much loved blog ends up last on my priority list.
During last week's visit to a rather disappointing nearby flea market I finally found the inspiration I was looking for.
As most of you already know I was finally able to sell my late mother's apartment and can now concentrat on my search for a little house with a small garden. Hence, things I'd ignore before are now attracting my attention: look at these lovely chipped and tarnished garden cherubs. aren't they just so darling?

E che ve ne pare di queste panche da giardino? Perfette per godersi un soleggiato pomeriggio leggendo un libro o magari sfogliando un giornale di arredamento.

And how about these garden benches? Find them perfect to enjoy a sunny afternoon in the garden, perhaps reading a book or flipping the pages of a home decor magazine

come è shabby chic questo porta vaso... sarà una delle prime cose ad insediarsi nel mio giardino se mai riuscirò a trovare la casa dei miei sogni

isn't this pot so shabby chic? I'm loving it and will definitely be among the first thing to populate my garden, if I'm lucky enough to find the house of my dreams

Nonostante la delusione per la scarsità dei venditori e la mancanza di oggetti di mio gradimento, sono riuscita a non tornare a casa a mani vuote. Ho trovato per 5 euro delle meravigliose federe con le cifre, che, ormai saprete, adoro.
Le foto purtroppo non rendono giustizia, ma credetemi le federe sono assolutamente deliziose ele cifre veramente preziose.

Despite my disappointment for the limited number of vendors and the lack of the treasures I was hoping to find, I managed not to leave the market empty-handed. In fact for 5 euros I found some delightful embroidered monogrammed pillow cases of various sizes. I adore monogrammed vintage linens and these, trust me, are absolutely lovely and in perfect condition. Too bad the pics I took do not do them justice so I guess you'll have to take my word for it. Next step is find pillows of the right size to fill them with. They will look stunning on my sofa or still better on my bed

  2. Oh Rita, these are marvelous finds! NO disappointment here! I see that you have been so busy....I sure missed you. But these finds I know are what you love (me too!) and the way you display them and show them to us is so fun and endearing. I miss you! May all your priorities come to a slower pace and may you find rest my dear friend.

    Peace,, Anita

  3. O magari sorseggiando un thè e facendo due chiacchere con un' amica.... sulla bellissima panchina shabby.. adoro il fatto che sognare non costa proprio niente.. ed allora in questa giornata triste e piovosa, sogno di essere li con te nel tuo prossimo giardino sulla tua prossima panchina a sorseggiare thè!!!!

  4. Che belle le panchine ...i putti ..... il vaso .... sarebbe un giardino propio in pieno shabbystyle ...io personalmente sogno il tavolo e le sedie in ferro battuto bianco nel mio giardino farebbero un figurone ma purtroppo costano tantissimo...e allora ho deciso che le comprerò nere e le vernicerò!
    Complimenti per tutto anche per le federe che per quel prezzo sono regalate (hai fatto un'affare)
    Baci!!
