Vintage Sign & 5 Bottles of Wine

July 16, 2012  Tablescapes | Uncategorized

The sign called to me, with a French accent no less, from an estate sale basement.

“Bon jour mademoiselle.

You are so beautiful,

and I am only $5 (or 4.10 euros)!”

I was putty in his enameled French hands?

I hemmed.

I hawed.

What to do with the sign?

So I wired it to this basket,

for the perfect mix of some of my favorite things.

Signs.

Wine.

Hydrangeas.

I have non other to thank but the amazing Kim for this fabulous idea!

    That’s such a great idea, Kelly! I love that sign {of course, because it’s BLUE!} Wine and hydrangeas never hurt, either. 🙂

    Forget the sign…I need a wine cave. Or tequila cave. Or a beer cave. Yeah, that’s it…a beer cave.

    I would of been scared to hear French voices, they always remind me of the Pepe Le Pew cartoon.

    Beautiful — the sign and the basket go perfectly together and I love the vases of hydrangeas. I don’t have any but my neighbor as TONS in all colors. I’m going to ask if I can cut some — I know they’ll say yes 🙂

    I have a love/hate relationship with things that call out to me from stores. Especially because they’re usually the expensive things! 😉

    Wonder where the “au” version comes from !)
