A New Look - Template Redesign, and a Giveaway to Celebrate

Thanks to Catherine of Avalon Rose, I now have a new blog template and webstore design to match! I wanted to jazz things up a bit and start afresh. I'm having a giveaway to celebrate (see below). I'm now ready to get some new items listed in time for the holidays.

First I want to share with you a great thrift store find - these lovely creamy white lined drapes - 2 pair - 4 floor-length panels complete with tiebacks - brand new! These are perfect for my bedroom.

And now for the celebratory giveaway - a vintage crochet doily, sweet silver Christmas cardinal, Christmas hang tag, handmade by me, and a pewter snowman spreader for those holiday cheeseballs you'll be making! Just comment on this, or any post until one week from today, Wednesday, 11/18. At 6:00 p.m. on that date, a name will be randomly selected. I'll get these mailed out so that the winner will receive them by Thanksgiving.

Happy Halloween

A little Halloween decor for you - I got some wonderful items from my partner (Missy-Fairy Child Heirlooms) in Heidi's Homemade Halloween swap. I added these to this halloween display.

I have not been able to post recently as I am working on revamping my webstore (check it out) and just I love it! Working on matching blog, banner, etc. and getting some items added. I'll be rejoining The French Cupboard once this is all done. I'll be back soon! Have a spooktacular evening!!

Displaying sparkling jewels

After spending a nice family weekend in Gatlinburg, TN, it is raining today - one of those hot potato soup and cornbread days. Since there is no sunshine today, to add a little sparkle, here is a pic of some shiney jewels and rhinestone buttons displayed in a silverplate relish dish.

Coral roses and green grass....

Why do sometimes we think the grass is greener on the other side? Here's a funny pic of one of our goats who feels the same way.

Also wanted to show you this footed bowl that I transformed this weekend.

Submission for Inspiration Avenue Weekly Challenge

Inspiration Avenue's word for inspiration this week is "Vintage." My piece is called Sweet Innocence and is available in my etsy shop.

More Vintage Wonderfulness!

A few things I'm going to be listing I thought I'd share.....(the blue/pink floral bowl and trays are not vintage but I love them anyway).

Listing some new items in my Etsy Shop

Doing some catch-up today and listing some new finds in my Etsy shop. It is a beautiful day here in East Tennessee and I love September! It is my absolute favorite month. Can you believe how quickly this summer has gone by? I'll be listing some new things over the next couple of days.
