My most treasured find in a long time, this gorgeous bust of Notre Dame de Lourdes, oh, it is so beautiful and serene, and a lovely onyx and brass plaque of Ste Therese -
I also found this sweet little rosary. I had to get it because of the little cross, which is so unusual. Look closely and you can see that there are scenes at the ends, the Lourdes scene on one side, cathedral on the other, and there is also one at the bottom which I can't quite make out yet, because I haven't cleaned the cross -
And.............. I bought two more old Sarreguemines bowls for my craftavan. I love to fill them with all the craft bits and pieces I bring with me from the UK, so much nicer than plastic boxes. So what if they are chipped, doesn't bother me one little bit -
I am linking this post to the Blissful Whites Wednesday linky party on TIMEWASHED. Thank you Becky for hosting this much loved event!
Happy Blissful Whites Wednesday to all participants and a sunshiny and warm hello from France to you all. Toodlepip xxx

Oh my Dear Liz
How simply beautiful and blissful - both Our Lady of Lourdes and the little plaque of St. Therese! The rosary is quite special with that cross - I've never seen one like that either!
If only I could have gone with you yesterday my dear friend. I can dream of these moments!
Big warm Spring hugs,
Suzy
Goodness, Liz, you have found some wonderful objects. The bust and plaque are lovely. I adore the blue and white on the bowls, especially the one with the sweet birds. I agree, the chips just serve to add character and show they were not only useful, but were used as well. I have learned, over the years, that a treasure hidden away does not bring nearly so much joy as the one that is put to use and enjoyed.
J'adore Liz, J'adore! I always look forward to your posts!
Wie wunderschön und wie rührend, die herrliche Büste der Maria.
Gefällt mir sehr.
Und die Schale ist so herrlich mit den Vögelchen.
herzlichen Glückwunsch zu all den schönen Dingen und viel Spaß und Freude damit.
