I had found this mailbox at a thrift store for $5 over the weekend
and knew I wanted to have it in the garden.
When I saw this Paris stencil on Esty, I knew that was my answer. I painted the mailbox with 1
coat of white paint and then painted the stencil in black.
It needed a little extra bling to it,
so I added a red votive to it.
A mailbox gives your garden a whimsical look.
I had bought this old window at a salvage store
and painted the same stencil on it.
I like it in front of the mirror.
next to my Eiffel Tower candelabra.
Little touches of Paris in my garden now.
So Romantic!

Hi, Jody! This is my first visit and I'm also linking up here today! So glad I found your blog, with all the lovely ideas and pictures! I LOVE French Cottage style things, too! I have a pillow with a similar print to what you put on your mailbox. Mine says, "no. 25 Le Banc 1903 Paris." I love it! My hubby and I are brand new (just one week!) empty-nesters, too! I'll be following you on Bloglovin' and look forward to future posts!

You have the most wonderful ideas! Mailboxes like that no longer exist in our new neighborhoods and I miss them. I may have to get me one for my garden, I love what you did with it. Take care! Julie
ReplyDeleteMe again to reply to your comment on my blog (I couldn't find an email address for you). My daughter's pet scan came back with wonderful news... no cancer! Praising God for the results we have been praying for. She still has to continue a few more rounds of chemo which are getting harder on her, and then another scan. Thank you so much Jody for your concern and prayers!! Julie
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your garden!! Thanks for hosting!
