Decorative Artist Jo-Anne Coletti specializes in everything Roses, and has a special fondness for beautiful things that are faded, worn and well loved. She looks to old Rose paintings for her inspiration in all of her work and finds that things from the past were made with elegance, care and detail. For over a decade, Jo-Anne's passion for art has turned into a thriving business. Named after her love of roses, Vintage Rose Collection specializes in painting of antique items, vintage furniture, old and used objects, as well as floral wall painting and cottage style decorating. 
I have been collecting old books ever since I can remember. Their covers worn and tattered have more then just a story to tell. Here, I've added hand painted pale cream roses to the out-side cover making this the perfect bed side decoration for your night table.
More Coming Soon...

Hello Jo~Anne, I love old books as well, and have some of my mama's that I especially treasure... I even found a precious flower she had pressed so long ago inside Anne of Green Gables... yours looks beautiful with your handpainted roses... I am excited to receive my beautiful paperweight... love to you... kisses Jessy... xoxo Julie Marie
what a beautiful idea : )
I saw on an interior design show a great tip for a bedside "table"
If you have two consoles for a shelf but remove the shelf and put your favorite books lying down on them.
Maybe i am not explaining good. But the shelf consoles should be close together so you can put the books directly on them, without using a shelf.
beautiful paintings as always : )
Hello :) I just wanted to tell you that I recieved my copy of the Porch, Romantic French, magazine today, and it is absolutely YUMMY!!
Love those white roses on the old book. I too, collect books and also belong to a book reading club at the library. I was once a librarian at that library and just love anything book related.

I just love what you did with the book, I should mail you a couple of old ones I have so you can paint on them as well. They're plain, wouldn't they be pretty????

Had fun looking at your site. I too love old books, I'm bidding on two right now on Ebay. Over the last year I have bought several. They are so chaming.
You sure can paint,I make lovely stick people. Thats about the extent of my drawing ability.
