Celebrating the pretty stuff.

I love the work of Jo-Anne Coletti. She paints the most beautiful romantic rose paintings and decorates in true romantic style. It is fairytale like.

She's just put out a new book, which I have reserved a copy of. Here is the link, for all you lovers of romantic and shabby chic decorating.http://www.vintagerosecollection.com/Feminine%20Home%20Magazine.html

Jo-Anne's look reminds me of coconut ice, floral tea sets and old lace. It's totally feminine, and without the edginess of say Rachel Ashwell, or the random improvised style of Cath Kidston (both of whom I also really love).

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend blog chics. I am baking a Christmas Cake. This morning I made a small calico Christmas mouse. I am planning another gingerbread house this year too.

But more of that later.
