Today I got a couple of pocket pillows made out of some vintage fabric ~ I used some of the photographs that I showed you yesterday to put in the pockets ~
I just can't pass up baby shoes either ~ I actually used this oval frame just to take the picture for my website but I love them hanging in it ~
Here are just a few things that I listed at Katies Rose Cottage from my recent finds ~
I am off to Canton tomorrow to find more treasures ~ I cannot wait !!
I have a confession to make ..... I am not a yard sale shopper ~
A flea market shopper but not a yard sale shopper and it is all because I have already been there done that on the Little Tykes stuff ~ I have friends ( Pat and Lisa ) that live close to me that always find treasures at yard sales ~ not me though ~
But ...... when Dorothy at the Shabby Y emails to say she is having a yard sale I am there with bells on (really flip flops) ~
She has the most amazing studio in the back that she even opened up to the shopping gals ~I pretty much drooled over her neat as a pin studio stuffed with awesome treasures ~
Here are the wonderful things that I got from her that will be on my website soon ~ well, except the oval frame ~
I also went to a tiny little flea market and found these old photos and sweet baby shoes ~ I am going to use the pictures for pocket pillows ~ My daughter was with me and we just cracked up going through the boxes of pictures ~
This girl's bow is so fun ! I can't imagine wearing a bow that ginormous :)
People did call my girls bow heads though when they were little so maybe I can imagine it ..... hmmmm
It is the Dallas Home & Gift Show time again and I was so anxious to see what the new stuff is going to be for next year ~
"Market" is only twice a year in Dallas ~ once in January and then in June ~ We displayed in January but aren't this time ~ We will be back there in January again though :)
There were alot of bright colors but my favorite were the creamy items ~ They were everywhere which thrilled me because I LOVE them ~
Here are just a few pictures of some yummy things ~ some of which we will have in our shop ~
I want this sofa ~ It had a print on it too which is hard to see ~
This is a lamp that was beyond amazing !
There is free food and drinks everywhere ~ this is at one of the showrooms for a Mexican lunch ~ You definitely do not leave hungry at the end of the day ~
Well I am off to scour my catalogs that I collected and hit it again tomorrow and Sunday
~
I am supposed to be in Las Vegas with my hubby but the flights were packed full so market it is ~
It is fun though !
It is funny how when you grow up somewhere you don't really appreciate it until you move away ~
I grew up on the Central Coast of California and did spend alot of time at the beach but truly did not know what I had just a few miles from my home ~
Now I live in Texas about 5 hours from the ocean and long for the days that I get to sink my toes in the sand and hear the crashing waves ~
Over the last few months we have been from one side of the United States to the other and each seashore brings a different, but so very much the same, awe inspiring feeling ~
I get lost in the beauty and majesty of the ocean ~
Here are some images that take me back that my son in law has captured so beautifully ~
I have had alot of people ask me if his prints are available for purchase and they are at James Brandon Photography ~ Just create an account and you can view his whole gallery ~
He also specializes in travel, family and wedding photography ~ He just did a destination wedding in Cancun that is gorgeous !
I have been loving the sunshine in Miami and Key West for a few days with my family ~
My husband is a pilot and has been based in Miami for the whole month so we got a chance to go spend some time there ~
A couple of the days we went to Key West and I just fell in love with the homes there because they are all little cottages in the prettiest pastel colors ~ All of the houses have picket fences and front porches ~
The ocean water is so warm, it is wonderful !
This is our girls Stephanie and Kristin ~
This is our son in law James, Kristin and Stephanie and my husband at one of the beaches ~
James took this gorgeous picture of Key West ~ It is so awesome to have a photographer in the family ~ You can see more of Florida on his blog soon at James Brandon Photography ~
I just wanted to show you a few new things
in our shops but we do
add things almost every day so check back often ~
These are canvases that have been sealed with beeswax ~
These can be found at Katies Rose Cottage ~
We also add different jewelry designs to
our website, Katies Rose Cottage Designs ~
These are a couple of the new necklaces ~
I so adore my friend Carrie's Vintage Dress Forms that she creates ~
She finds the most awesome vintage dress forms, which are very hard to find, and then embellishes them so beautifully !
She has sold some in the past but has just recently completed two ~
Here are some pictures of them and they are available
on her website at Noelle Garrett Designs ~
It is time to get back to work after a long weekend so I have listed
two little Altered Baby Shoes and some Vintage Cottage Pillows
on my website, Katies Rose Cottage ~
Tomorrow is Canton !! WOOHOO !! I love love Canton ~
I am in need of more lace and always on the hunt for silver so that
is my goal tomorrow ~
I have been having a blast at Photofunia ~ it is kind of addicting !!
