time out for white wednesday...


I have been so busy lately...

But I had to take time out for White Wednesday...

 To show you these two sweet petite pillows I picked up at our white event. 
I am sad to report that beautiful scale I showed you last week sold.  And, while the cubby I love is still at the shop I am waiting on that for now.  You know how husbands can be.
What have I been up to you might ask?
Well, Friday was Jake's prom...

Jake and Erika

We also went to Plymouth over the long weekend and got our trailer ready for opening day in a few weeks...
And it was also Jim's birthday yesterday...

Happy Birthday Jim!

I have also finally got around to tucking some bunnies around my nest...

I have also been putting together some ideas for my 400 follower giveaway!  More on that soon! 
Speaking of giveaways, take some time and visit my friend Karen of A Shabby Moment in Time to enter hers!

Thank you Kathleen for hosting today and thank you all for stopping by!

what a weekend ~ part three...

Today for Vintage Inspiration Friday over at Common Ground (thank you so much for hosting Debra!) I thought I would give you a closer look inside the tent.
I am sure you are sitting down, but not in something as cute as this...
I know, I know...it is so cute!! 




Check out this cubby...

Isn't it fabulous!  I do not think it sold over the weekend.  It just might come home with me when I work my shift tomorrow!
Ok ~ back to browsing...


I have to interrupt again...I just love that scale!  Perfect for the farmhouse style I have been working on around my nest!  I can not remember if it sold or not.  Looks like my list is getting bigger for Saturday...!




I think you will agree with me that the tent was full of lots of great treasures.  There was one item that just stole my heart though...
Aren't they the sweetest!  You should have seen the adorable little girl who took those home ~ and they were heading to Texas soon!

Thank you for stopping by today.  If you missed any of my other posts from our At Home With White Event you can see part one here and part two here.

My fellow shop girl Karen is sharing this event on her blog A Shabby Moment in Time as well as these beautiful bloggers who visited us too...
Susan from Evelyn and Rose

Thanks girls!!

On a different note...I just hit 400 followers!
You know I will be thinking about a giveaway this weekend.
I will share it with you next week!
Have a wonderful weekend!!

what a weekend ~ part two...

Kathleen over at Faded Charm is hosting White Wednesday today!  It is the perfect place for me to show you some of the wonderful whites and vignettes from our At Home With White event from last weekend.
Get ready to drool...
Both of those pieces sold right away.  I had my eye on the cubby and do not know why I hesitated.  Here is a close up...


I bet you are glad you are sitting down!


The globe and the desk did not last very long either!  Now take a look at this dresser that Jeannie hand painted... 
Swoon!
Jeannie also made these unique pieces...

There were so many things I fell in love with like these two...
I think the trunk is just fabulous! 
You know old mirrors are one of my favorites...
I love the mirror on this beautiful dresser too...
The glorious, sunny Sunday morning had the tent overflowing out front with these treasures...
If you peek in the mirror you can see I remembered to wear white on Sunday!

Don't you just love that old dress form!  Mary Ellen had two of them...
Another blogger stopped by on Sunday too!  My sister~in~law Christine from AnthonyRosesShabHome came by to visit with her sweet Mom Jane and her adorable daughter Gianna...
Me, Christine and Jane

Thanks for taking the picture Gianna!

Also dropping by on Sunday ~ my bff Lisa with her Mom Marilyn.  I can not believe I did not get a picture!!  I think it was because we had too much catching up to do!!
Sorry girlfriend!!
Thank you for stopping by...love you!

I did snap a great photo of two of the other lovely tent girls...
Karen and Maureen

I am hoping to "borrow" some pictures from the other tent girls to share with you too.  We had a meeting last night at the shop and am happy to share that this will be an annual event!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I have a lot more to share so I would love it if you would come back on Friday!
Have a great day!!

what a weekend...

What a weekend we had at our At Home With White Event at The Wrentham Country Store!!
I arrived early Saturday morning to help Mary Ellen with a few last minute preparations...
Can't believe I did not think to wear white!!!

Mary Ellen spoke a few words to welcome our customers and thanked them for patiently waiting until our advertised opening time of 10:00...
We had many people pulling in at around 8:30!!

One of my fellow shop girls Karen of A Shabby Moment In Time and I were getting ready to capture the excitement of our grand opening...
I am sure I do not look as cute as she does in the photo she took of me!

Then the shopping began...
And it was crazy busy all day long!  Our customers were so excited and complimented us on our beautiful displays and how they felt like they were at Brimfield! 
Wow...thank you!

The beautifully sunny day was full of fun and laughter.  Meeting new customers and catching up with our regular customers was just great.  The energy level was high and then ~ the bloggers started showing up!!

Diane from Passionate for White looking beautiful as always...
Karen, Diane, Me

Then, the sweet and lovely Wanda from Vintage Fleurs drove down from New Hampshire...
Thank you again Wanda for my beautiful gift!!

Another pretty lady shopping the tent was Jo~Anne Coletti from Vintage Rose Collection...
Me, Karen and Jo~Anne

Now the day was just so much fun but it was about to get more exciting!  The beautiful Susan from Evelyn and Rose came to visit... 
Susan and her adorable daughter Audrey.

It was so nice to finally meet her!  My cheeks hurt from smiling so much!  She came with her family and it was so cute to watch her shop with Charlie and Audrey.  And to top it off she has the most patient husband, letting her shop til she dropped!  Thank you Brian, we had fun!

So there I was, feeling all happy and excited ~ looking around at the shoppers and enjoying the sunshine when this sweet, petite, lovely lady wearing the biggest smile was coming toward me.  It was a blogging friend who came to surprise me...
Michelle and Me.

The lovely Michelle from Petite Michelle Louise!  What a wonderful surprise!!  We have been blog friends for quite a while and it was just such a pleasure to meet her!  We just started chatting away like we have known each other forever!
Thank you Michelle...you really made my day!

Thank you ladies for making the long drive to the shop...it was truly a pixie dust moment for me to meet you!!
Susan, Karen, Michelle and Me.

I would like to thank all our customers for making this event such a huge success!

Big thanks to all my fellow tent girls (and a few guys) for creating such fabulous displays!  All your hard work was worth it and I am so lucky to get to work with you!  I can not wait to see what you create next year!

I also want to thank all the other shop girls for making their booths inside the shop look amazing for the weekend too.  I have never seen the line to check out so long!!

Thank you Mary Ellen for making this all happen.  Thank you for making me a WCS shop girl.  Thank you for being my friend!

Last, but most important, I want to thank my wonderful husband Jim.  I could not have done this without you...
I Love You!

Thanks for visiting today!  I have a lot of photos to share with you this week.  Photos full of fabulous treasures and the people who put it all together!

What a weekend!!!
