Vanity Porcelain Roses
Good Morning!
We finally got some snow here in Indy. It’s not much but I am so glad to see it! This weekend was nice and quiet. On Saturday I just puttered around the home (I love doing that), went to the grocery store, soaked my nails, and went and had a wonderful dinner at Longhorn. I got the grilled chicken, buttery mashed potatoes, green salad, and a glass of wine. It hit the spot!
On Sunday, I worked on the blog, did some boutique inventory, and went to Von Maur. I wanted to look at some Estee Lauder products in person. I am really curious about a new scent that I just found called Dream Dusk, a lipstick called illuminating shine and the intense brightening cream. The cream is suppose to help reduce your scaring. I already use the Perfectionist Pro and it has been working beautifully!
Speaking of Estee Lauder products I saw on Saks Aerin Lauder’s home decor items. I immediately fell in love with her Introduction Bloom Porcelain Flower.

Isn’t it gorgeous! Aerin and Estee are notorious for creating beautiful vanity items.
Now they do come in two different colors. The darker color is called berry.

They are made of ceramic and measure about 5.7″ in diameter and 2.1″ in height. They are just lovely pieces!
So lovely that I had to order my own!

I have no regrets! Most of you have already seen my dresser/vanity and know that I love beautiful vintage items and this rose is a wonderful addition. It’s classic, beautiful, and will be timeless.
I took this photo so that you can see the size of it. It fits right into the middle of my hand. It’s not too big or too small. Honestly, I ordered two! I wanted a second one for my office at work. I seriously have no regrets ordering these. Now I know that they are a bit expensive so I searched online to find something similar and a bit less expensive and I found this one and this one on Amazon.
Beautiful things are so hard for me to pass up. Especially something that has the potential to be a family heirloom. I love heirlooms. I have no heirlooms from my family but have a few from my husband’s family and I think that they are the best things to have. It shows your family’s taste, their minds, and their heritage. Lauren, our daughter, is going to have a LOT of heirlooms from me. I just hope that she cherishes them.
Have a great Wednesday!
Boutique news: With Valentine’s Day fast approaching I wanted to put some of my dresses on sale. The Lillian Vine dress is still on sale and now the Frances dress is on sale as well as the Charlotte Velvet dress! I think all of those would be a great dress to wear on a date night! And if you purchase one of those dresses you get a free pair of earrings your choice! Just put a note in the note section when you are finishing your purchase!

So Old Man Winter made an appearance ❄❄ Glad you finally got some snow. I did come across a similar rose on Etsy that I’ll get for my vanity. These are gorgeous. A bit to spendy for me at this time. My goodness they are lovely. Thank you for sharing alternatives that provide a similar look???
I would love to see your porcelain flower that you purchased for your vanity!
Good morning Mrs. Shockley,
Aren’t quiet restful weekends the best? I took an inventory of my Spring/Summer wardrobe just so I know what I need to purchase and be on the lookout. I also went to church (my soul needs this), and puttered around my home. And by the way Mrs. Shockley, that soup was a hit in my house. In my opinion, it was even better the day after. I will be eating it for another day or two for lunch with a small salad.
The ceramic rose is so beautiful and reminiscent of something my grandmother would have had. Lauren will appreciate all the heirlooms-I promise. When my sister and I were kids, we would snicker about my mother’s love for antiques and China, and crystal,lace and linens. Now guess what? We have taken on a love and appreciation for those things and have started our own collections. My mom has even already given me an antique cabinet and some crystal. Lauren will love those things and probably ask for some when she’s off on her own. She’s very blessed to have a mother with such beautiful things and a beautiful life.
Talk soon,
Mya
I am so glad you loved the soup and I agree having it the second day was wonderful! It was like the seasonings had a moment to sit in the veggies and meat.
I sure hope you are right Mya about Lauren. She hates everything that I buy for the most part but I am trying to be hopeful so we will see. I am so glad to hear that your mom passed down heirlooms to you. I have always loved that tradition.
