my little corner...

Today for Show and Tell Friday hosted by Cindy at My Romantic Home I am going to show you my little corner of The Wrentham Country Store that I have been renting since last July. Looking at these photos I really didn't have enough "stuff" at first!

Although I did have this beautiful bureau, found as is, in the trash!!!

Thank goodness it was summer so I went to lots of yard sales and flea markets to fill in the empty spaces.

I sold the beautiful bureau and replaced it with this bureau, another trash find which was in desperate need of a shabby makeover.
That one sold too! While I was at the shop the other day to freshen up my space I did take a few new photos.



Where my little corner is makes it hard to get a good whole space photo unless I get on a ladder and the shop was getting very busy so maybe next time I can get a better shot. I love the shabby look but I'm finding myself moving from so many roses and so much pink and wanting to stay with chippy dreamy whites with more natural or neutral accessories with a sporadic punch of color. I definately have booth envy when I see other blogger's spaces. I think mine is too busy and doesn't flow as well as I'd like it to. I had my husband help me put lace panels up which softened the space but I want a change. What do you think?



Mary Ellen, the shop owner, has a great shabby space and some other fabulous vignettes at the moment...


It's been a great adventure so far forming new friendships with the other shop girls and meeting the sweetest customers. I even had a few "Ta Da" moments (as I call them) when I met Jo-Anne Coletti from Vintage Rose Collection and Christine Glynn of Lucy's Lounge at Tutti Chic. I've followed their blogs among others gathering inspiration to start my own blog as well as hoping to keep my vintage treasures inspiring to others in my little corner at the Wrentham Country Store.
