Katie was sooo excited today because she received a box in the mail from the sweetest friend ~ she has a pet of the month contest and Katie won for this month and got goodies mailed ~You can visit my friend Janet's site at http://www.janetscreativepillows.com/main.htm ~ She has gorgeous and wonderful pillows !!! Here is Katie when she opened her gift ~
Yay !!! I got another vintage suitcase finished !!! It has been lined with Rachel Ashwell pink rose fabric and is filled with wonderful vintage items ~ You can find this on my website http://www.katiesrosecottage.com under the Treasured Memories category ~
I LOVE these awesome frames that my sweet hubby created !!! They are wonderfully chippy and romantic, perfect for any shabby cottage chic decor ~ these frames are pretty large measuring 17 x 17 inches ~
Oh my gosh !!! I can't believe I learned to sew when I was a little girl and I have never discovered a sewing machine pleater !!! My sister gave me one for my birthday and I absolutely love it !! It rained outside today so I decided to sew and these are my latest pleated creations~
Oh my goodness !!!This has to be one of the most gorgeous hatboxes that I have ever seen ~ I am always on the hunt for pretty hatboxes, especially with roses ~ I saw this one and had to get them to put on my website ~ hatboxes are wonderful to use for display, storage or to use as a giftbox ~ I can see this with a huge bow, it would be beautiful !!!
I just renamed my vintage traincase category from "Tied with a Bow" to "Treasured Memories" ~ to me it captures the feel of these sooo much better ~ You can buy the traincases as they are with beautiful linings to fill with your own "treasured memories" or already filled with wonderful vintage items ~ I have more in my workroom in progress so keep watching ~
I am back from spending some wonderful time with my mom, dad and sister ~ we spent part of our time together camping in east Texas at Canton, one of our favorite huge flea markets ~ we got to camp right there and just spent hours and hours browsing all of the flea market goodies and also other beautiful shabby chic things ~ I painted some of the things I found today and just listed them on my website ~ I also found alot of old beautiful rose china and so many other goodies ~
This is just a sneak peek of more to come this week!
I have so much fun going to flea markets, antique shops and treasure hunting ~ There are alot of favorite things that I look for but right now I love anything creamy, tarnished, Farmhouse, old silver, vintage keys, old ornate frames, pretty china, hymnals and old jewelry with alot of bling ~
