vanity for humanity’s taking shape

do you die for this shot from olga of olgagrandascott.blogspot.com? i did!

hey everybody! hope you’re enjoying the quiet evening hours this sunday night. i’m about to call it a day but wanted to share some of the vanity pics that came in and thank you all for sending them. i’m feeling re-inspired.

(what a collection of goodies she has)!

cynthia of cyntillatingandjoyful.blogspot.com

it’s been really fascinating to see the variety and flair that every vanity has. i wanted it to be documentary style and love the candid shots. one of my favorite things in the one above is that the pics in the frame are her grandparents.

denise of discountdesignerfabrics.blogspot.com (i didn’t know the stork club made lipsticks. most of these women who sent in the photos have incredible collections, one of denise’s passions is vintage compacts and cosmetics).

as you may know i’m taking it slow these days. it wasn’t till tonight that i had the time to go through them all and this is the first i’m seeing them too and i was really happy to open each one.

this one is from christina’s mom of fabulousfindsandco.blogspot.com. she may have invented the boudoir look!

so what do you think, are you into the project? if so i can still use yours (hint hint)

bonnie of loveyourplace.blogspot.com

i love this one even though it’s out of focus. bonnie has inherited an insane collection. from her mom and grandmother. this is the tip of the iceberg.

and these three are all in from angela may of yourheartsdesires.com

and last but not least, thank you to mary of celiajuno.blogspot.com. this was her grandma’s vanity and now one of her prized possessions.

oh and this just in from tracie herman who has a brand new blog, prettyasparis.blogspot.com

well again, it’s not that complicated, a flower, some photos and perfumes….it would seem we all need a place to put these things but lots of us just don’t treat ourselves to it for whatever reason, myself included right now. then again i’ve pared down and a vanity seems like such a luxury. well, i’m determined to set something up and promise tomorrow will have a shot of my own. hope you will too! ~happy sunday~

p.s. you can send yours in (the deadline isn’t till the end of summer) to theparisapartment@yahoo.com. merci!
