Just had to blog about the great find I came across a few months back by a very talented artist & designer down near my beach house in Rhode Island! These are paper mache bells designed exclusively for Jules Macher. Jules turns these into works of art with her paintbrush & adds a fabulous ribbon & hook for you to hang in a backyard setting or the inside of your beautiful home. They add a touch of whimsy & charm to any decor & are one of a kind finds for sure! I am enchanted with them and own three myself. They will be available in the Tutti Chic boutique very soon! More pretty colors available in soft pinks & greens~
Painted my front door (previous post) THE MOST hideous shade of neon lavender you have ever seen! OMG~What was I thinking? I am going to show you just how awful it was very soon when I re-paint the door a very soft muted lavender~stay tuned! Just an FYI for all you catalogue ladies.....The most recent online Heirloom Roses catalogue is now here for you to enjoy. I have ordered the prettiest roses from this on-line catalogue & have never been dissapointed~take a peek when you have a moment! :) Wish me luck with the new paint! LOL!
As always, you find the most gorgeous items and display them so beautifully!

The minute I read the title of your post, I started singing, "you can ring my bell".... geeze I hope I'm not dating myself! Anywho, the bells are amazing, I love them and I bookmarked the rose catalog so that I could take a peek in a little while after my kids are in bed. I can hardly wait to see the door!

Hi Chris
I love the bells, a fabulous idea, lots of work would have lovingly gone into each one I think
I love your idea of painting your front door a different colour each year - why didn't I think of that??
Look forward to seeing the end result
