Something that I enjoy doing in my little boudoir is visiting other blogs. One that I came across today is called Lily Lemontree. The header alone is enough to draw you in… What’s even better is that she has a contest going through March 2nd where you can win Coco Before Chanel on DVD (which …
A boudoir is not simply a place to admire your pretty decor, brush your hair and powder your nose. It is also a place where you can relax, take in a good book and brush up on your favorite topics ranging anywhere from fashion to history. While a book will never be outdated to me, …
Some of you may remember my post back on January 22nd titled, “Boudoir Treasure…Vintage Chanel Print” about my fabulous ebay find; a vintage Chanel print ad. Well, as I stated, I bought two. One for me and one for a lucky My Little Boudoir reader. This beautiful original 1944 Chanel powder print ad could be …
In honor of President’s Day (ok…ok…so I missed it by one hour and now it’s the day after President’s Day…please forgive me), here is a tour of a few White House boudoirs and private quarters used by First Ladies (and one First Daughter) throughout the years.

Most of my life people have always made the assumption that because I like girly things, that I would dislike the idea of camping. This is absolutely false. In fact, I really like camping. It is my husband who is the diva and decided he will not sleep in a tent this year. Ok, the …
I am pleased to announce that we have a winner from the contest that I introduced in my post on January 25th, titled Hatchoo. Congratulations to Paige from Georgia! This lovely package will arrive in her mailbox very soon… …and this is what is inside… a vintage reproduction handkerchief from LuRay Collection. Thank you to …
Since it is now February (Février), I thought it would be a good time to share this piece of my boudoir with you. It is a little 4″x6″ tray that I keep on my desk. I’m wondering if it was once part of a series, because as you can see, it says, “Février” in the …
Of course everyone remembers the rotary telephone, right? Oh contraire! When pulling out this vintage telephone for its photo shoot this evening, my nine year old daughter exclaimed, “this doesn’t make any sense…how do you use this thing?” Oh, to have been born in the 21st century… I have to say, there is something I …
