When I was very little I loved to dress up. Putting on fancy clothes made me want to dance and twirl and skip. And I did.
These shoes from Joy Folie spotted on Design Mom last week transported me back to that time. When I thought clothes could be magical.
There is some serious magic in those shoes…

I saw some pieces from nOir jewelry on i suwannee over the weekend and decided to check out the site.
Here are some things that I loved:
FYI: The bracelet comes in two different colors – and BOTH are on sale!
Here are some things that I might love, but might just find really odd:
If you like rings with character (perhaps with sparkling animals) definitely take a look!
I feel like I see this piece from Paule Marrot all the time.
And I always stop and admire it. So I finally pulled up her website and saw that in addition to art…
…she also does painted and upholstered furniture.
It all definitely falls into the decor category that my husband calls “girly.” So if I actually could buy something (I have a very rich fantasy life), I think it would have to be placed in a bedroom.

Sometimes a floral arrangement can really pull a room together.
Yes – that was snark. Sorry – but I’ve been wading through magazine image galleries and I think it’s making me punchy. That or the cheap red wine I’m drinking…
More may follow. I’ve started bookmarking everything that makes me laugh out loud.
I’m so in love with this Annechovie poster, I want to marry it.
Seriously though… Do you think a white dress for wedding #2 is too much? Either way, I’d be upstaged. Pretty, pretty, pretty. Perfect for a cozy kitchen corner.

A long time ago my friend, Nancy showed me a new pair of earrings that looked a lot like this:
I wonder if they were from Oliphant. Either way, I loved those and I love these. Oliphant’s version comes in both turquoise (pictured) and clear crystal. they also come in a larger size:
Another pair that caught my eye makes me think of vintage dresses and cocktail parties:
They would never go out of style.
I also love these pendant necklaces:
And this bracelet would get a lot of air time in my accessories rotation:
Pretty and feminine. Timeless. See more HERE.
Oh – I just can’t get enough of artistic room renderings… And while reading about British designer Nicky Haslam on A Gift Wrapped Life, I discovered his watercolors of interiors. He has pieces in the permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and The Royal Institute of British Architects.
Here are some of my favorites featured on his website:
I love how they can light and ethereal but full of vibrant detail. The furniture textiles, the wallpapers, colorful books on shelves, art pieces, flowers…all of these bring the images to life.

Okay – so this isn’t exactly basket toting season… But winter vacation cruise wear could include one of these lovelies from The French Basketeer.
I’ve had my eye on these for a while (and I even own a Fifi Flowers print that I’m pretty sure depicts the the Cannes in fresh green).
At less than $50, they’re also very affordable! A great gift option – see more HERE.
A little late to start a new year of blogging here at Wishing True… But better late than never. And what better post to start with than some pictures of new things created from old things.
I love the idea taking something that may be considered junk and reinventing it. Things made from reclaimed materials are very in right now (and ironically, often very expensive). A small dent in filling our carbon footprints – but a noble endeavor nonetheless.
Here are some new/old things from Eco1stArt.com:
