new treasures...

Thought I would pop in and share some of my new treasures with you today like this wonderful bottle drying rack...

It is the perfect piece to display my old insulators...

We are finally enjoying some sunny Spring weather!

I am enjoying seeing the light shining through the old glass.

I also wanted to share my new purchase from Sandi's Etsy Shop, Wayside Treasures.  

Just look at her pretty packaging...

She surprised me with some thoughtful little extra treasures...

These will adorn my inspiration board along with this sweet pink glittered heart tag...

Her pretty packaging beautifully delivered my new treasure, a pair of vintage French opera glasses...

I thought they would look perfect with my mother of pearl pair that Jim gave me many, many years ago...

Guess I have started another collection ~ these will be displayed in my Paris Hotel Suite...

I have actually started planning (in my head) a makeover for this room.  I want to change the wall color, rip up the rug and paint the furniture.  It will have to wait for the fall though...

On Friday I will show you a little makeover that has inspired me to say goodbye to my Paris Hotel Suite.

Hope to see you then!

Thank you Sandi, I love my new treasure!

Thank you all for visiting!!

that's a wrap...

It has been another busy week in the cottage of this muse.

Catching up with "real life" after the White Show has had me going non-stop all week.

Today I am going to share some of the wonderful displays inside the Wrentham Country Store that the Shop Girls put together for our

At Home With White Show.

(Part one can be seen here ~ part two here.)

And that's a wrap!

At Home With White Show part 2...

Good Morning!

Today I am going to share with you the other side of the tent from our third annual 

At Home With White Show

at the Wrentham Country Store.

(If you missed part one you can see it here.)

Relax and enjoy...

Mary Ellen had center stage inside the tent.  She puts the most beautiful vignettes together...

Every year Mary Ellen brings her fabulous trophies from home and fills them with flowers for the check out tent...she could sell them over and over again if they were for sale...

Another one of our new shop girls from last Fall, Chris Glynn of Tutti Chic Designs (and blog) did an amazing job at her first white show...

Next up is Louise's space that was full of beautiful treasures...

I love the hutch and think I just put one on my wish list...

This year I split a tent space with Karen K. since I have my bigger space inside the shop.

We had fun working together and on set up day our pieces blended together perfectly...

Thank you Karen...it was so much fun working with you!

In my next post I will share some photos from inside the shop...stay tuned!

Joining Becky at Timewashed for Blissful Whites Wednesday today.

third annual At Home With White Show...

Where do I begin?

The Wrentham Country Store's third annual At Home With White Show was another huge success!

Again, my fellow Shop Girls blew me away with their inspiring, creative displays that they lovingly put together from vintage treasures and recycled pieces from the past, all in a palette of whites and creams, neutrals and naturals that warmed my heart and soul.

Take a peek...

I just fell in love with Jeannie's booth...

Next to Jeannie was my sister-in-law Christine who joined our shop as "White and Worn" last fall.  She did a wonderful job for her first time, don't you think...

Next to Christine was Sue, who always has a unique mix of treasures and blends them into a beautiful display...

The last (but not least) space I will share today is another new Shop Girl who also joined us last fall, Robin of Twisted Vintage (don't you love that name!).  She also hit it out of the park for her first white show...

In my next post I will share the other half of the tent, so I hope you will come back to see more!

I must send out a few thank yous...

First, thank you to all our customers friends, old and new, who came out and shopped 'til they dropped!  Your lovely compliments and support of the shop means the world to us!!

Next, thank you to all the Shop Girls for working so hard to get ready for the show and for being such great company all weekend!!

And finally, I also want to thank Mary Ellen for allowing me be a part of such an amazing shop, and also for including me in the creative process for this wonderful show!

It means the world to me!

I want to congratulate Mary Ellen and share with you all the exciting news that Jo-Anne Coletti came out and took some photos for an article on the show and shop for Romantic Homes Magazine's August issue!  Thank you Jo-Anne!

Dreams do come true!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you come back to see the other half of the tent as well as inside the shop...lots more to see!
