Blogger Inspiration {Velvet and Linen}

The Gianetti's design work and
gorgeous sanctuary of a site 
with its gorgeous Patina Style
has been charming the pants off
of this blogger



Saladino Powder
melting just now.


since the dawn of blogalization,
of sidebarization even!

Since before joining ranks in blogademia
in that simpler time when hours were
spent exploring splendid willows
and Belgian pearls.

*smiling to self knowing additional blog-wordplay
is in this post's future, and there's absolutely nothing you
can do about it*

What?
Earth to hellolovely!

This is a post about loveliness...
about Velvet and Linen.

The blogarazzi need to be alerted
the Gianettis
will join an elite crew at
Legends: Windows to the World.

Love Brooke's work?

Then by all means, keep scrolling
and refer to previous bloggage
of the Gianetti's dreamy book
Patina Style.

(Had to re-post this image from Velvet and Linen's archives
because this Paris fleamarket destination inspired the Gianetti's
window display at Windows to the World and is at the top
of my list of tres chic places to visit in October while in Paris.)

Oh no, her shop did NOT just tease me with marmalade crocks.

I love the whole concept of
windows to the world,
which are what I believe
the most inspiring blogs
across the galaxy
aspire to be.

Oui?

Peace to you right where you are.

  7. Oui, Oui!

    She is one talented and lovely lady that Brooke. I have been stalking her so much that she probably thinks I am a complete nutcase... But I really dig her a ton. She has the best design eye but she is also very grounded and has not let her tremendous success get to her head.

    And we both get giddy around good Swedish antiques! (:

    What a lovely post, Michele!

    Hugs to you super girl.

  8. You're so funny, i loved the word play, and i see why Giannetti is charming the pants off of you, did you see those blue velvet pillows! I, for one, am quite a fan of velvet, it's yummy, and soft, and everything good... and then paired with my other favorite, linen, what could be better than that!? All those photos have sucked me in, everything looks so real, and touched by life... i'm goin over...
