Paris Miniatures
I started collecting Gault miniatures on my trips to France and on each visit I would select a new house to add to my collection. Each one holds such a special memory and I enjoy adding these to tablescapes or creating a vignette on the French Hutch. I've redecorated the back hutch so I've removed the miniatures and added my new copper cookware and brought out my old french canisters for a new French feel. Hope you enjoy a French tour in miniature, so let's take a stroll through Paris, Alsace and Provence and look at the beautiful old architecture, miniature style.

This is a small town cottage in miniature given to me by my sister. She found these collectibles in Atlanta. They are so sweet and charming, and I keep this set displayed in a small cabinet that hangs on the wall.

Blooming Now

A few outside snaps at what's blooming now. We've had much needed rain and now I have a few roses blooming, the crepe myrtles have gone wild and the lantana has grown tall.
Hope you enjoyed my miniature collection. So what do you collect in minatures?

Emily, I didn't know you collected these. They are charmers! It is so much fun to see the different ones. ;-) Who makes these? Are they ceramic?
ReplyDeleteYou know I collect many different things. As far as miniatures for me, that would be my collection of little mini picture frames and boxes. My husband started me on the petite frames because he knows I'm drawn to small things. It's a challenge to find photos to fit in them. I group them on small silver trays and have them in various spots around the house. I should do a post on these sometime. ;-)
Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection.......Sarah
Emily, you're always dreaming of France, so it doesn't surprise me that my last two posts tie in with you. ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are GORGEOUS!! Oh my goodness, I can't choose a favorite. They are all so pretty. I would have to say the Brasserie, and your baker's rack is gorgeous, not to mention your garden.
Thank you for stopping by the shop, love.
Happy pinks!!
XOXO's,
Marcia
Such a sweet stroll along champs elysees! :0)
ReplyDeleteI started collecting mini porcelain furniture...I also have other minis in an old secretary desk of my Grandmother's. Fun to collect! I had a friend who used to shriek "SHRUNK IN THE DRYER CUTE!" every time she saw something miniature. So funny!
OH Emily, your Gault miniatures are adorable, I have never seen them!! What a wonderful collection! I love the new look of your hutch, too, and your garden looks wonderful! Beautiful photos!

ReplyDeleteEmily!! It was so nice to see you at Frenchy's today. I was going to stop by this weekend to let you know about her very French Monday party, but I was running with all sorts of busyness. I'm glad you linked this gorgeous post. Hope to see you there Mondays. Well, as long as I keep my French theme going. I think I'm going to for the rest of summer.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Monday.
XOXO's,
