I discovered this lovely lady and her child in an antique shop. I've had it on my mantle ever since I moved into my cottage. I made a woodland wreath to drape over her, interlaced with tiny golden stars and baby's breath. (And if you look ver-r-r-ry carefully you'll see two small birds... one on either side.) There's a tiny leather-bound book at her feet —"A Child's Garden of Verses" — and a gold, waxen robin stands guard.
I love the way the little child is cupping her face.

The vignette is beautiful. The statue shows such a strong, adoring bond between mother and child. I can see why you love it so. Thank you so much for joining in this week!

This is a beautiful piece. Just this last week I had a child touch my face in that exact same way. I can see why it has a special place in your heart. Thank you for sharing this with us through Claudia's Favorite Things Saturday.

Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet sculpture!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little statue. It reminds me of a photo I have of me and my grand-niece where she's cupping my face like that. And I love the birds.

ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty. You've done a wonderful job displaying it. A Child's Garden of Verses...a favorite of mine. I read those poems to my children. I still have the book and sometimes I read them to myself.

She's so charming, I see why you love her so!

ReplyDeleteWhy it's lovely! The book is a sweet touch.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping by and leaving such kind remarks. I'm so touched that each of you saw the charm in this piece. I couldn't resist buying her!
ReplyDeleteI love the statue, but especially loved the mention of A Child's Garden of Verses. I poured over my copy as a child, enjoying countless hours of pictures and poetry. Hmmm...whatever happened to my book?
ReplyDeleteHi Haworth,
ReplyDelete"waving back :-)"
Your favorite things vignette is so sweet and tender... all the details... It makes me eager for fall and gathering some woodland wreaths!
Hugs,
Bella
I'm looking forward to trimming my bittersweet for fall arrangments, Bella! And Susy, that book was my favorite as a child, too. My mother would read the poems to me and I can still recite most of them from memory today! Take care, everyone. Have a lovely evening.
