Pillow Talk~

On this Monday, the first day of March, I am happy to report that it is in the 70's here in Texas in my neck of the woods...just gorgeous!  I'm so hoping that this weather is a taste of what we will encounter in a few weeks for the Spring Show in Warrenton/RoundTop. 

I also wanted to give you a little "peek" into what you will encounter in my booth....these pillows that I made myself with love.  I've been sewing like a mad woman trying to make as many different designs for everyone's needs.  After having been separated from my sewing machine for a few years I got the urge to create and now I can't seem to stop! 

I have piles and piles all over the house...

All styles, All sizes....

Big, medium, small.....

So many to choose from....

No two are alike, so you will be getting a "one of a kind" pillow.  I can't wait to set-up shop!

   But wait! There will be lots more to show you in the next few weeks so stay tuned!

I hope this finds everyone having a glorious day!

Have a great Monday~

Just Playin' Around~

With just a little more than a month left till I head out to Warrenton for the Spring Show I find myself still not knowing exactly what I'll be taking.  I start to pack and then I get a wild hair to create and the packing doesn't get quite done.  I'm hoping in the next couple of weeks to be showing you what I will be taking.  I am itching to go out and buy junk but there just haven't been any Estate Sales or Garage Sales lately.  Hopefully, if the weather is nice here this weekend I'll venture out and do some junkin'.

I did head out to the Resale Shop in town this morning and found this adorable pair of baby slippers.  I fell in love with them and the cute little flowers stitched on top.  They are not vintage but I like them just the same.  I have paired them with a wonderful bird nest that a friend (Joyce Shillings) of mine made for me. 

I also found this glass basket that is stamped AVON.  I guess with Spring just around the corner, the basket seemed appropriate to buy.  I'll fill it with some grass and glittered eggs.

Have a great day!

White Wednesday with Jeanne d' Arc Living~

Welcome to another one of Kathleen's White Wednesday. 

I wanted to share with you my latest discovery. I'm sure most of you have heard of the Jeanne d' Arc Living Magazine...well, just like everything else I kept putting off in purchasing this magazine until a few months ago.  I gotta tell ya when I received the Christmas issue I was hooked!  I have never before in my life seen such an inspiring piece of work.  This made my day when I opened the package to find such a beautiful spread of pages full of ideas and so much more.  If you have never seen this book...(it literally is a book...more than 150 pages) then you'll know what I'm talking about.  It's not only page after page of lovely homes and vignettes, but it also includes recipes with pictures and the best part is there are no advertisements....they save those for the last few pages of the magazine.  How great is that!  This is a work of genius in my opinion.  O.K. I can go on and on about this but I know you're waiting to see for yourself, so....here are pictures I took of the 2 magazines I have received so far.  Enjoy!

            

I hope you enjoyed my White Wednesday.  

This magazine will be published 8 times this year.  If you are interested in purchasing one they are available exclusively through Jeanne d' Arc Living retailers only.  To find a complete list of retailers, go to their website http://www.jeannedarcliving.dk/ under "magazine".

White Wednesday~

Another White Wednesday is upon us so I thought I would give you a peek into my booth at the antique mall. A few months ago, I downsized from a booth size of 11x20 to a teeny tiny little booth of 7x8. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to have such a small space. If you put too much in it, everything gets lost! If you don't have enough then your sales are terrible! Go Figure...Anyway, here a just a few pics of the recent re-do since the Holidays.

Check out the other White Wednesday participants at Kathleen's blog.

New Year, New Look~

Happy 2010!

Please excuse my mess...

I'm currently experimenting with the look of my blog. If there is something you would like to see different on my blog, please let me know (be nice!).

Thanks for the support and the comments!
