I just designed my French Stones last week and have been getting such great responses to them and I love working with clay so much that it made me think, what other pieces I could design and add to my French Home Accessory Collection.
This is my first attempt, they will improve I promise! When they are finished they will be about 5" in diameter and will be a crisp, elegant and creamy white. A pretty display piece for your jewelry or a great gift to give!
Some more new clay items with three of my Designs. They are still "unfinished" and will also be white when they are done.
I have added a hole and placed a pretty ribbon through. They make a unique "gift tag" to add to any present and would also look pretty as an ornament.
Some paper Gift Tags with three of my other Designs...
I found these crates, which were unfinished when I purchased them and I loved the size of them. I was thinking of all the things I could store in them. I gave them a wash of a few different colors to give them an aged look and then stamped my Designs on the front of them.
Even filling them with simple greenery makes them look pretty.
I have also been making some new Jewelry. I picked pieces that would make a statement when worn.
I love having a simple chain and a bold piece in the center.

I have been very inspired lately by the old French Soaps that have been made in the South of France since the middle ages and continue to be made there with the same age old process.
Not wanting to "make" soap itself, I thought of how I could make something similar to what I loved and still have the look of old, French soaps, so these Stones are what I created... 
Besides some French inspired designs that I am using, I am so excited that they are also available in my own Designs which are part of my Garden Adornments Collection of Home Accessories. These are some of the same designs used in my Pillow Collection and therefore make a beautiful accent to my other items...
They are great to use as paperweights or to fill in a pretty bowl or platter and display as decorative accessories. They make GREAT GIFTS as well!!!
I have displayed them in many different ways to show how much presence they can add to a room.
Each piece is made out of Porcelain clay. I then imprint each design in to the piece.
I individually cut by each piece by hand and therefore no two pieces will ever be identical.
I have designed them to look rugged, yet elegant which adds to the charm and personality of each piece!
They are available exclusively though my Etsy shop...

My new Shopping Totes are available in 2 sizes. They are great to take with you to Flea Markets, Grocery Shopping or to take to the beach.
The bottom has a gusset, making it even more practical to carry heavier items.
To purchase my Shopping Totes or any of my French products, visit The Bella Cottage.

My newest love and inspiration lately has been French Soaps. I can't wait to show you what I have been WORKING ON!
I love the doors!
Silver is so elegant and one of my favorite things to collect! These are all in Anne's booth, she has some gorgeous items...
I have also been loving silhouettes!
So pretty!
This cabinet is so whimsical and a beautiful and creative way to re-use vintage shutters.
I also want to start to collect vintage clocks, French ones of course!
This old farm table is rustic, yet elegant.
