One week to go before our

Vintage Fall Market Weekend

at the Wrentham Country Store

and I am shifting into high gear!

I do better under pressure, how about you?

Here are a few more sneak peeks...

I am going on one last treasure hunting trip on Sunday before I spend next week working on smalls and all the little finishing touches I will need for staging.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

fall decorating...

I did a little Fall decorating today...

I love the size of these white pumpkins but am on the look out for the baby boos...

I have been using pieces I already have, saving money for when I begin my bedroom makeover.

But I did buy one new piece (ssshhh, don't tell Jim), I couldn't resist the faux mercury glass owl...

I want to put a lil' white pumpkin atop the candlestick as well as filling one of my favorite silver baskets with them...

I have more to do but am busy getting ready for the Vintage Fall Market Weekend at the shop...

That's my Nana...I love this photo of her!

Tell me...do you use white pumpkins in your Fall decorating or do you stick with the traditional orange ones?

Thank you for visiting!!

little piece of heaven on cape cod...

Happy Friday!

If you are like me and are trying to hold on to every little bit of summer before the leaves start Falling, then I have treat for you!

Take a peek inside my friend (and fellow Shop Girl) Gayle's little piece of heaven on Cape Cod...

Of course you know I love all the white, but I also love the pop of aqua that she uses, like on these old shutters inside the cottage.  They make a pretty frame as you peek inside the kitchen...

And what a sweet space it is!  Lots of lovely little details...

 

Gayle's cottage may be small on space but it is definitely big on style!

I love the grey pillows and throw on the bed.  I also love the use of different textures in the room, adding warmth and interest!

Looks like something out of a magazine, doesn't it?!

And, she's just a stone's throw to the beach!

Thank you so much Gayle for letting me share this beautiful haven you have created!

Cheers to you and to making the most of the last few weeks of the season!!

Thank you everyone for stopping by...have a great weekend!

my favorite vintage find...

Have you picked up a copy of the latest issue of

Flea Market Style Magazine?

If so, did you notice that one of my treasures was featured in their article, "My Favorite Vintage Find"...

They didn't share a photo, but it sits in front of my fireplace holding an old wooden carrier full of dried hydrangeas...

Oh, and while you are checking out the magazine, look who is featured right after me, Mary Ellen...

And here is Mary Ellen's favorite vintage find in her home...

The shop has been mentioned in Flea Market Style quite a few times, but this is a first for me personally!

Thank you FMS!

The past few months have been very fulfilling creatively...

And...I am working on a new project too.

Wish me luck!

Thanks for stopping by!

time flies...

Hello and Happy September!

I can't believe it has been a month since my last post!

Time flies when you are having fun!!

I enjoyed a wonderful Summer at the campground with my family and friends and am looking forward to enjoying the early Fall as well since we do not close up until Columbus Day!

However, I have been slowly been getting back into things here at home as well as gearing up for the

Vintage Fall Market Weekend

at the Wrentham Country Store

which will be held on September 28th and 29th!

My kids did a good job keeping up around the nest but I am in the midst of Fall cleaning, including Jake's room since he is now settled at school for his sophomore year of college!

Oh how time flies!

I played around in my studio a bit yesterday, cleaning up and moving a few things around...

Here is a sneak peek at some of the treasures I am working on for the Fall show.  I am using a color palette of black, grey and blue sprinkled with a bit of rust and of course vintage whites...

I will be starting my first Fall project soon, making over my master bedroom, as well as working on a few other exciting adventures as well, so there should be lots to post about over the next few months!

Thank you so much for stopping by ~ enjoy your weekend!
