All things shabby and sweet,
this teeny cottage has a crowning touch~ a chandelier.
I read about this cottage that belongs to
Sandra Foster in the New York Times.
I know this is a blogland favorite~its amazing.

Crystals drip from this white iron chandy,
while another chandelier graces a sleepy hideaway.
Maison Decor would put a chandy
in a chicken coop if she had one.
a boutique on Martha's Vineyard.
There is a tree outside the window in the background,
so look closely and you can see there are
three separate "lotus blossoms"
of light and crystals that hang
from an iron scrolled fixture.
All the chain and wiring is also painted white
and it is simply shabby chic.
The shop owner told me she thought
it came out of an original cottage.
I ADORE this light fixture,
but alas at $1800 it was too expensive.
However it inspires me to paint the chain and wiring
on this vintage number I just hung in my kitchen.

This pearl and heavily beaded chandy is from Zimmans.
My home office chandelier has some crystals
that I swapped out with pink ones from ebay.
This is a fairly pedestrian crystal chandelier
I bought at an auction over 20 years ago.
A pink pearl and iron chandelier, also from Zimmans,
with wax drips on the candle holders.
I love the masculine edge of black iron
paired with the girly pink pearls.
