more scattered roses...

Good Morning! I am back from another extended weekend at my campground which was full of good times, good food and great company! It was a weekend full of laughter, you know the kind that sometimes brings you to tears ~ just wanted to thank Sue for the best story so far this year! I laughed so hard I almost needed a tissue!!



Well I am back at my home sweet home and thought I would share some more scattered roses from around my nest starting with one of my favorite pillows...
My one and only rose adorned trading card from Will's Cigarettes with my one and only cabinet card showing a beautiful young lady with roses...That beautiful young lady with roses is my Nana ~ you know the one that I happily share with Jodie. Don't you just love the color combination in this pretty rose adorned tag... I use this cute watering can wall pocket to hold my scrap ribbon in my craft room (obviously empty since I have been MIA from the craft room)... This simple little rose canvas hides the ancient door bell hardware in my kitchen...Now I have been looking at this wonderful rose watercolor at the shop for the longest time and I finally took it home...

Do you remember the last time I showed you some scattered roses from my nest? In that post I mentioned Jo-Anne Coletti of Vintage Rose Collection and her visit to The Wrentham Country Store. Well today I can also mention the lovely Jo-Anne since I won the giveaway she was involved in over at Small Town Living! Just look at the treasures I will receive...

I am sooo excited!! Thank you Small Town Living and thank you Jo-Anne ~ you know you are a big inspiration to me!! Speaking of giveaways...I mentioned that I will be hosting a giveaway myself! CSN Stores has offered a gift certificate for any of their wonderful online stores! I will be back tomorrow with all the details!! Thank you for visiting today ~ I hope you all enjoy your day!!

g'day thrifters...

G'day bloggers! My day started off wonderfully this morning...I won the fabulous giveaway from Sarah over at A Beach Cottage! A gift certificate to Anthropologie AND the Australian home magazine Real Living!! Sarah herself was featured in this magazine....can't wait to get my copy! I am sure you all know Sarah and her tale of moving her family from England to her amazing beach cottage in Australia. Her blog is beautiful and inspiring, I know she would love to hear from you! Thank you again Sarah!!


Today I am joining in with other thrifters over at Coastal Charm where Linda is hosting Nifty Thrifty Tuesday. I found this sweet set of 4 Johnson Brothers plates for $3.00...
They are in wonderful condition although the pink one is cracked... Easy to hide if I tuck it in somewhere, or cover it with a cupcake! The roses on the pretty aqua one are a bit faded... Maybe those two were the original owners favorites! The yellow one is perfect for a sunny spring day...which we are not having today... Last but not least is this pretty dove gray one... I just love them all! I think I will use them for my Easter dinner table then scatter these roses around my house. Until Easter I have them stored in this pretty basket under the table in my den... Yesterday I showcased the pink plate, today it is the pretty aqua one...Feathering my nest and making little changes here and there makes me happy! Well today I am over the top happy thanks to Sarah ! G'day thrifters!!
