I told you there was more! {For those just popping in, the first post is below}
And here it is {well some...if you can believe it...there is still more...guess I have a lot of stuff?} This is the back wall of the studio...it consists of three long shelves...filled to the brim...
You will find loads of vintage treasures...and I have an always growing collection of old baby items...
Found this silver "Russell" baby cup a couple of weeks ago at the flea market...
French painters...my favorite...and always my inspiration...
You will find many of my grandmother Kay's art supplies in here {like all of the painting palettes and the scent jars below}...I have been blessed to receive them from my grandparents. I actually have her art desk and easel stored away for when we get a "real" studio {and by that I mean in a home that we own...and hopefully a large attic? ...sigh...a girl can dream...}
Grandma's "Liquid Pearl"...
Godey prints can be found all throughout the room...
The altered bottle below was a birthday gift created by my sister, Angela. One of the best gifts that I have ever received...
Old cigar boxes...
And I call her "Mademoiselle Vogue"...she is currently adorned with my favorite vintage hat...and a pretty beaded collar...
I love antique doll heads...this is a favorite...
Lots of old bottles...everywhere...
and more of Grandma's supplies...
A recent find from the flea market...the California Rose Balm bottle...
Seam binding...millinery flowers...and more trinkets and treasures...
Beautiful...
My grandmother's name badge...
And who doesn't love pretty wallpaper?
My absolute favorites...
Bin of lace and trim...
An old birdcage hangs in the corner {above the TV...no photos of that ;) but yes...I do watch TV in here}
Random shots around the room...an old sewing basket filled with ribbon...
Vintage sewing treasures stored in boxes and tins...
A hanging basket...
Pretty blues...
A beautiful old purse {also just found at the flea market}...
Anne of Avonlea...a favorite book growing up...and vintage spice jars with painted tops...
And finally...the pièce de résistance...Grandma's beloved paint box...my absolute favorite.
If there is interest in seeing more...or full room shots...do let me know. Otherwise I can move on to other posts if you are getting bored ;) I want to share what you want to see here! I do hope you have enjoyed the tour and if you missed the first post be sure to see the one below...
Till next time...
oh...I am on pretty overload! I could sit and stare in a blank stuper at these pretties ALL DAY LONG......

I toured all of the studios and yours is definitely my favorite of them. I have been a read for quite some time and love coming here.
Just another note - that vintage purse is an exact match to the upholstry fabric on my late 1940's daybed. we inherited it less the top matterss from my hubby's grandmother - Love that.

I'm so glad you posted pictures of your work space. The decorations are so sweet and lovely! I always like seeing your decor and finds, but I'm particularly fond of your atelier. More photos would be great!

PS: Since I always find your photos inspirational, I've added you on my list of Chichi Blogs. Hope you can stop by and take a look.

Wow, so many wonderful things! (How do you dust?????? Please, I really want to know!)
There is a shop here in Chickamauga called "La Frou Frou" that sells a lot of things like you show. Well, that's not right. You have so many unusual things, so they don't sell things LIKE yours, but it's a similar type shop.

I think I have died and gone straight to heaven after looking through these wonderful photos of your studio. This is truly an amazing place. I simply adore peeking into other people's creative spaces and I believe that this post is better than any I have every seen. I'd love to see more room shots - and close ups. Really anything you want to share with us is most appreciated. Thank you so much!

Your room is absolutely lovely but it was the old copy of Anne of Avonlea that stopped me in my tracks! Thanks for sharing, I can see just what an inspiration this place for you!
Warmly,
Christy

Alice, you are truly a girl after my own heart! I dream (far too much daydreaming goes on in my head!) of having a studio like this, but maybe I wouldn't actually get anything made for spending too much time just looking at and sorting through such loveliness!
Your room needs to be featured in 'Where Women Create' ~ one of my favourite mags...
You have such amazing taste and your styling is just beautiful. LOVE IT ALL!

Posted by: Debra Gilstrap | November 23, 2009 at 02:11 PM
Wow! Amazing & beautiful. I love it all. I found your blog via Etsy. =) I've added your blog to my faves.
Posted by: Julie GM | November 23, 2009 at 05:00 PM
I have one comment and one question: Your studio is so cozily, comfortingly, nostalgically beautiful! I'd love to look at that every day. Magnificent job decorating it.
How long does it take to dust all of that? :c)

Alice I love your blog and your shop I would also love to see more pictures.
Posted by: Debra | December 02, 2009 at 11:35 AM
Everything is ridiculously beautiful!
I was so excited to see my crown tags in some of your photos~!
Posted by: Angela Harris | December 11, 2009 at 09:50 PM
Wow you've got lots of neat stuff. I could have a ball just going through your stuff. You have plenty of things to be inspired and create with.
Posted by: Debra | December 12, 2009 at 07:34 PM
Looks lovely, and I, too, would love to see more general shots of the room.
However, I must say that I keep on wondering: how do you keep everything free of dust (so that it doesn't start to accumulate in inches of layers..)? :)
Dust or no dust on those dozens of lovely items, I still think it looks dreamy; you have a good eye.
Keep up the pretty work, I'll be happy to return to your blog now that I found it!
Posted by: Suze | January 11, 2010 at 10:29 AM
Alice I always just love looking at all of your stuff. Everything is always so interesting. You have a beautiful space with lots and lots of beautiful things to create with.
