Jeanne d'Arc Inspired Arrangement

Bon Jour Mon Amis!
I hope that you are staying warm and cozy today!  We have a fire going here at the Chateau, it is brrrrrr cold outside!!
Today I wanted to share with you a simple arrangement that I put together.  I have been pouring over the pages of Jeanne d"Arc Living magazine, that my friend Debbie at Love of the Sea sent to me.  The magazine (a book, really) is studded with page after page of gorgeous rooms, and tons of inspiration.  While I didn't draw this arrangement directly from its' pages, I think if it as being "Jeanne inspired"!
My mom gave me this gorgeous glittery angel last week.  Isn't she beautiful?  She is actually an ornament, but I thought it would be fun to use her in an arrangement.


I just love her!  She is even prettier in person than in the photos.

I began with a vintage milk glass bowl, that has the prettiest bubble pattern.
 I then added a bunch of greenery, both real and faux, and some spray painted and glittered (of couse!) pinecones as well as a few faux berries.


Simple, yet so pretty I think.   I really love the "icy" greenery!



And here is one last look!



 Have a great day, 11 more days 'til Christmas!!
I've linked up today's post with Faded Charm for the wonderful White Wednesday party!

  6. Just gorgeous, my friend! The vintage bowl is perfect.
    We have been up to 85 degrees out here-crazy. Tomorrow it's supposed to drop 20 degrees.
    Stay warm!
