Pretty French Lavender Hanging Hearts

These delightful handmade lavender hanging hearts are a wonderful adornment for your home.  Ideal to hang on a door handle or to decorate a piece of furniture ~ or simply a gift to yourself or someone special!

Queen Victoria is most notable for making lavender popular across England and it could be found, in one form or another, in every one of her rooms.  She had it used to wash floors and furniture, freshen the air and had it strewn amongst her linens.

The benefits of lavender are vast and varied, it is said to calm the mind from every day stresses, enhance the intuitive process, gently clarify the mind and with its beautiful aroma uplift the mind and spirit.

These pretty French lavender hanging hearts are now available on the website:  www.thepaintedroom.co.uk

French Vintage Fabric Covered Boxes

French vintage fabric covered boxes are incredibly popular and are increasingly hard to to find these days.

I have just added some new boxes, covered in vintage French fabrics, to my website today www.thepaintedroom.co.uk.  The gorgeous vintage fabric was salvaged from a 19th century French quilt.

Originally old French fabric boxes were used to store handkerchiefs / gloves / lace etc but are equally useful today for storing trinkets, jewellery etc or for use as a sewing box.

You can see the boxes in my VINTAGE section.  I will also be listing, over the next couple of days, some new boxes covered with my own printed linens as seen in the above photo.
