Helping Celebrate 100 White Wednesdays!




I don't know about you, but I am amazed at Kathleen over at Faded Charm...for the last 100 Wednesdays, she has hosted the most fun blog party around, White Wednesday.  That's quite a feat, or as someone who has a blog called French Laundry should say, a "tour de force".  I thought in honor of this, I would do a little retrospective of a photo from each White Wednesday I had participated in (22 in all-seems kinda puny in light of 100 posts, but that's why she's AMAZING and we're all helping her celebrate.  I've shown pictures of my mantel (lots of times...but hey, I like it!).


Statues have been a favorite, along with pretty lacy things, and Jeanne d'Arc Living inspiration...

I've shared some craftiness...

And some shopping tresors from my antiquing jaunts...

We've shown our whites on holidays...



And it wouldn't be White Wednesday without the occasional piece of ironstone...

And, this still remains, my favorite WW post when I did a couple of mosaics of pretty white things I found around my house.

Kathleen, hats off to you gal, you've been faithful and oh so consistent.  Thanks for making WW THE event of the week.  We should be giving you gifts, but instead, sweet Kathleen is giving US a chance to win her most amazing 100th post giveaway.  All sorts of beautiful gifts for a lucky blogger.  I am getting all excited just thinking about it.  Click here to be taken there.
This week is going to be one heck of a party!

Until next time,
Pin It!

    Your whites are beautiful! I was going to count how many WW's I've participated in but I forgot. I'm going to re-read your post on how you faux rusted that little cage, I have something I want to make rusty:)

    Happy WW!

    So pretty - we are in the process of re-doing our master bedroom - removing old blue carpet and replacing with hardwood and repainting in a creamy white and you have just the same feel I want to create - some really nice ideas - I love this - great job! Thanks!
