Bustin' Loose

There seems to be a new obsession going around in the blogosphere,

(I think I know who caused it *winks*  aka Vanna at Delusions of Grandeur!).

It's the quest for these beautiful busts made of alabaster or marble. You can never have enough! Just ask Gloria over at Happy to Be. Once you have one you HAVE to have more!

Some of them come signed, like this lovely beauty from Paris.

 

 Paula has this lovely signed alabaster Geisha which was made in Italy. It stands before Alaagy's "Coming Together".

They are perfect for playing dress-up with jewelry, crowns, or hats.

 

No matter where you place them they add an air of elegance.

 

 This lovely lady is the keeper of Paula’s current books either being read or reread.

 This pretty maiden currently stands watch on my entry table.

 …but on second thought, maybe she’d be happier in the bath on this vanity tray?

 Next up is this little sweetie. She keeps her friend company on the entry table.

 She is also signed.

 I love her grouped with blue and white.

 Hey! Who’s this? Gertrude! What are you doing here? This post is about busts, not bronzes. 


Sorry about that…

 Now, this angel in pearls adorns the dresser in the boudoir.

 Here’s a group shot of the pretty ladies. 

Hey! Gertie get out of there!

 Oh, alright! Meet Gertrude, my beautiful bronze and ivory statue.

 Now, pretty maids all in a row.

 Last but not least, is this handsome couple. It is my largest piece and takes pride of place on a pedestal stand in the family room.

 By the way, do you like these sepia tones? I love the way it looks on René’s blog over at Miss Gracie’s House.

We hope this post has inspired you to “bust loose” and start a collection of your own. 

After all, everyone needs something else to collect, right?

Pat & Paula
