~ My Sweet Little Puppy ~

I just had to show you a picture of my precious little puppy !! I just love her !!! She actually isn't a puppy anymore, she is 5 years old ~ Of course I had to tie a pink bow around her neck for her picture ~ he! he!

~ Boxes * Boxes * Boxes ~

If you have visited Katies Rose Cottage anytime you will know that I LOVE to find old and new boxes ~ I love to take them and add appliques or decals to them, paint them and distress them to make the perfect organizing boxes for any room of your shabby chic cottage home ~
these are great for not only organizing but to put in the bathroom as a pretty place to roll up guest towels or to use as display pieces with candles sitting in them and maybe a bouquet of roses ~ the ideas are endless ~

~ Vintage Sewing Machine Drawers ~

Vintage sewing machine drawers are awesome!!! Whenever I find them I grab them because they make a wonderful shabby chic way to organize things ~ they are perfect for your craft room, office, bathroom or so many other things ~ I love to paint them pink and white and mix and match them ~ they add a romantic cottage look to your home ~
