Where Bloggers Create 2012

Welcome to 
A Little Bit French's 
Studio


Come on in...the door is always open.




My work table is shabby and very much used.

Swinging around the room to my desk.
One day I will finally paint it.




The reason I love my desk, is this large desktop.
I shoot most of my photos on it.
***************
I often wrap my customer's orders on this pull out shelf.


Who loves lace?


J'adore shabby bookcases,
especially $5 bookcases filled with lace.




My shabby lace station.


Perhaps you spotted my jewelry table.


I have the most fun here.




Who wouldn't have fun digging around 
jewelry pieces from then and now?


I find glass containers the most friendly
when creating and displaying jewelry.






My work table is always busy.





Shelves are a big part of any studio.



This high shelf stores many items above my work table.


Ever evolving displays


Purchases from France


Hooks are essential for hanging totes and tags.

 

Displaying gifts from friends


My religious vignettes keep me centered and peaceful.





Under my table are baskets of linen and lace.


Fabric pouches are stored in a 2 tiered French wire basket


Viola...my view from a shabby mirror.


I hope you've enjoyed this little studio tour.

Thank you so much Karen
of 
for hosting such an incredible event.

Love to all, Rhonda

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Love, Love, Love your studio, Rhonda! I see some things that I have {on a much smaller scale for my smaller room} that you have. The baskets of lace and trim; the glass containers holding pieces you can see. I love how you've used your wall space to hang things, as well as utilizing your furniture pieces. Everything that you show as supplies and embellishments makes for a gorgeous vignette on its own. Thanks for the tour!

Hello Rhonda
Everything is looking simply charming.
I love all of your French touches, like your wire baskets full of shabby laces, postcards and ephemera, also the way you have displayed your jewellery over glass jars. Your religious touches in your artwork an draped rosaries are so beautiful.
Thank you for sharing all of this.
Wishing you much happiness in your studio.

It's overflowing with everything that's YOU - creamy whites in abundance, your beloved religious statues, medals etc - those key ingredients that make up your inspiring art work that we admire and love so much.
I'm drooling over everything and especially your exquisite lace (that won’t surprise you)!
AND I just loved seeing some of my work in your studio!

Thank you for your kind message today - it's good to be back and catching up with you and all my blogging friends. I thought of you when I was in Paris!
