A French Inspiration in Jacksonville Oregon

This Month my family and I took a trip to Medford, Oregon to visit our wonderful grandmother, we really enjoy her. While we were there, we took a little trip to Jacksonville--a historic little town. It is  about 5 minutes from my grandmother's house, and there were vineyards all the way Jacksonville. My grandmother was telling as that all those vineyards used to be pear orchards--she prefers the pear orchards. When we arrived, we found this charming little French BouTEAque. So come join me on an inspirational journey into French creations.











A French BouTEAque is located at:
135 South 3rd Street
Historic Jacksonville, Oregon
Check out her facebook page:


Visiting this town was like going back in time.




This is another antique store full of treasures.


A little piece of heaven for glass collectors.








I hope that you enjoyed this little tour of charming Historic Jacksonville, Oregon. I really loved visiting these wonderful shops.

All Beautiful and Splendid Things

At the heart of the rose lies mystery and romance, stirring a passion like no other flower. That is why I love to paint roses, they give me pleasure to capture the softer, romantic, serenity of the rose on a canvas. I like surrounding my self with my paintings, transplanting each rose creation into the happiest corner of my home.

God's Thoughts:
The mountains are God's thoughts piled up. The ocean is God's thoughts spread out. The flowers are God's thoughts in bloom. The dew drops are God's thoughts in pearls. ~Sam Jones~



On Every Rose I see His blood upon the rose and in the stars the glory of His eyes, His body gleams amid eternal snows his tears fall from the skies. I see his face in every flower; The thunder and the surging of the birds are but his voice- and carven by His power Rocks are His written words. All pathways by his feet are worn, His strong heart stirs the ever-beating sea, his crown of thorns is twined with every thorn His cross is every tree. ~Joseph Mary Plunkett~

Look Through nature up to nature's God ~ Pope~
