My favorite paintings by Laurence Amelie. You can find more on her website here and are also sold at Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture stores.

Shabby Chic Christmas

 Aren't these Christmas decorations gorgeous!? That vintage pink tree with the purple chair is just pure eye candy. I also love the faded pastel vintage ornaments, so so pretty! The two velvet pillows are on my wish (more like fantasy) list... What's on your Shabby Chic Couture fantasy list? You can find them all at Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture. Be sure to check out her online store often, she's adding vintage finds almost daily!

vintage print

I saw this in the Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture store window and fell in love. I just had to have it! I found a place for it in my bedroom leaning on my dresser and it adds a touch of innocence and charm. I just love the colors and roses so much I thought I'd share. Have an inspiring weekend!

Lisa Mann Dirkes

  Lisa Mann Dirkes artwork moves and inspires me. I've been lucky enough to see her work in person in Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Couture stores and now she has a website up where you can buy directly from her. I've posted about Lisa before if you'd like to read it here. One of these would make a great gift!

Shabby Chic iPad case

For those of you that have an iPad, Rachel Ashwell has teamed up with DODOcase for her very own Shabby Chic ipad case! You can buy one from her store: Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture. Rachel is always so inspiring, I would love to carry one of those around!

The image that started it all....

 The picture that started my Shabby Chic love affair... Country Home, 2003.  I still have the original magazine tear out!

Holly Becker + Rachel Ashwell

I have followed Holly Becker's blog, Decor8 for a long time and was so excited to see she met with Rachel Ashwell.  She took these pics of Rachel's home and Santa Monica store and shared them on her blog. I love all the beauty in the details, the vintage wallpaper, the desk chair, and chandeliers. You can follow Rachel's blog here.

A Creative Mint + Rachel Ashwell

I'm a huge fan of Leslie from a Creative Mint and saw that she met Rachel Ashwell and wanted to share her beautiful pics of Rachel's home. I love Leslie's graphic design and layouts, so pretty! You can visit Rachel's blog here.

dare to fail

Watercolor illustration by Lisa Mann Dirkes found at Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture stores and lisamanndirkes.com. One day I hope to have one of these on my wall. She has an amazing talent and gift of illustrating a simple but bold quote stirring up emotion and inspiration in me. I'm so grateful Rachel Ashwell introduced me to this beautiful art.
