new space...

Happy Monday!!

I recently moved to a new space at the Wrentham Country Store.

Take a peek...

I love how all the whites pop against the dark grey back wall.

Have you entered my giveaway yet?

If not, go here to do so!

Thanks for stopping by!

vintage peacock...

Is December going by way too fast for anyone else?

Am I the only one who has not started Christmas Shopping yet?

I am that person who makes lists, checks them twice and is usually just about ready to wrap it all up by now.

This year I have been extra busy as I took another space in a multi-dealer shop in Norwood, MA called

The Vintage Peacock.

Owned by Maureen and Peter, two vendors who I worked with at the Wrentham Country Store, this wonderful shop is the result of a revitalization of an old mill that is now full of life through a collection of shops like The Vintage Peacock selling antiques as well as vintage and repurposed items.

The Winsmith Mill Market is a great way to spend the day treasure hunting as there is also a small cafe, a shop that carries Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, home to the Norwood Art Association as well as the very popular monthly market, Vintage Thymes.

After the holidays I am looking forward to spending more time getting to know the other vendors and their shops and will be sharing their spaces here with you!

My space at The Vintage Peacock is a smaller space than I have ever had but I love the challenge of it!

Here is a little peek...

The Vintage Peacock, located inside the Winsmith Mill Market, is open every Friday and Saturday from 10 - 4, and on Sunday from 12 - 4.

A trip to "the mill" should be on your road trip list for the new year!

You can follow them on Facebook here.

This past weekend we said goodbye to Jim's grandmother.

Nana was 96 and this beautiful lady was one of the most loving, caring, strong and funny women I have ever met.

A true inspiration.

Her stories that she shared from her home in New Foundland and the life she lived here, raising her family of 5 will forever be in our hearts.

Thank you Nana, your love and devotion to your family made us all feel very special.

My favorite photo of my children and their Great Nana, Christmas 2012.

my space this fall...

Just popping in to share some wonderful treasures I've found and  have put in my space at the shop for the Fall...

I am getting ready for our Vintage Holiday Open House in a few weeks and would love to have any locals come join us for the festivities!

Save the date...November 28, 29, 30 ~ 10 to 5 all weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!!

my space this summer...

Well hello!

It has been two whole weeks since I have posted.

I have no excuses...just been having fun in the good 'ol Summertime!

I do not have anything new around the house to share.

Nothing...zilch...nada.

(If you could only peek at my Fall and Winter project list though!)

Hope Jim isn't reading!

So, I thought I would show you what my space at the Wrentham Country Store is looking like these days...

The shop is looking as wonderful as ever and my fellow Shop Girls are putting together the most amazing displays!!

I invite you to visit the shop's website and peek at the "Recent Finds" page to see the latest treasures just in.

Also we have a summer series, "Shop Girl of the Week" that gives our customers a chance to get to know our vendors a little better.

Also, you can follow the shop on Facebook!

I hope you can check back with me tomorrow...I am going to take you on a unique little tour of the shop.

Even though I haven't been posting, I have been visiting!

I am totally inspired to change things up after Summer!

Thanks for stopping by!!

recent finds...

Recently I took a peek inside my friend Susan's Etsy shop,

Evelyn and Rose.

When I saw these beautiful vintage horse ribbons I knew they would look great in my space at the shop, don't you agree...

Of course you know I had to keep one for myself...

Then I found this portrait at a local thrift shop...

Perfect timing, don't you agree?!!

The next few days are going to be in the 90s and feel like...

Bring it on!

I hope the sun is shining where you are today!

Thanks for stopping by!!

old crush and old trunks...

Why do winter colds last so long?

It has been about 3 weeks for me.

Longer for Jim.

Seems like forever.

I am finally on the zpac.  I actually stayed on the couch all day yesterday and caught up on some taped shows and watched a few episodes of Big Valley on MeTV.

(Did anyone else have a crush on Heath?)

Anyway, I am hoping that tomorrow I can get back to painting.

The big push is on as our 3rd annual

At Home With White Show

at the shop is coming up on April 6th and 7th.

This is my tent space from last year

Prepping for the show, in addition to keeping my booth full (I just sold two big items) and working on some winter projects around my home is going to keep me very, very busy for the next few months.

Treasures have been starting to pile up downstairs as they get cleaned up or painted waiting for the show like this old steamer trunk ~ before...

And after...

Jim actually brought the old trunk home one day along with this other one...

This old beauty has already been painted and brought to the shop...

I love them in white, don't you?

Thank you for stopping by!

Joining in on the fun at

Blissful Whites Wednesday

Wow Us Wednesday

whiter booth...

For Becky's Blissful Whites Wednesday today I thought I would show you some pictures of my booth.

I had strayed away from having a booth full of vintage white treasures.

I warmed my space up for our Vintage Fall Market Weekend...

 I like the old wood pieces but the country feel is just not me.

So I am happy to say I am well on my way to whitening it back up for the winter...

The vintage bureau used to be pink.

It was in my daughter's room for a while, then in the shop for a while...

I think the details are prettier in white (and not everyone likes roses)...

I brought in some new mirrors...

And made some new displays mixing the vintage whites and some wooden pieces with a great rusty old spring for a back drop...

I love the way my booth looks now and it will be the perfect backdrop for some simple displays I am putting together for our Holiday Market Open House and Sale...

Thanks for hosting today Becky and thank you for stopping by!

french inspired pieces...

Well, once camping season ends the DIY projects begin.

(Which seem to be keeping me from blogging!)

I could not find my leftover project list from last year so I moved forward and started a brand new one.

Jake's room.

I forgot to take before pictures, but I know I have some old ones, somewhere.

My color inspiration for the room is here.

I should have some before and during pictures to share next week.

In the mean time, I think I will share with you some of the french inspired pieces I just finished and brought into the shop this morning...

The shop is looking amazing and I took a lot of pictures when I worked on Saturday.

I will share them later this week.

In between cleaningandsandingandpaintingandpainting.

Oh and getting ready for the wonderful Creatively Made Home ecourse that starts next Monday!

I am so excited!!

Thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes and thank you for stopping by ~ have a wonderful week!

making a move...

I have been quite busy...

Not only have I been busy enjoying lazy summer days at my campground (yes, life is good) as well as shopping and packing things up to get ready to send Jake off to college, but I have also been hunting and gathering...

I can see you smiling Michelle and Susan!

I have been treasuring hunting and saving all these beauties...

Because in a few short weeks...

I will be making a move to a bigger space at the shop!

I am very excited...

It has been a good distraction because the summer days are slipping away and Jake's move in day is coming too fast...

I have also been hunting and gathering for our

Vintage Fall Market Weekend

that will be held at the end of the month on

September 29th and 30th.

But I am going to keep those treasures a secret for a bit longer!

I am sharing my finds with Kathleen for White Wednesday!

Oh...and I am also excited that I won Kristin's giveaway over at Faded Prairie for Jeanne Oliver's

Creatively Made Home e-course!

Thank you so much ladies and thank you for stopping by!
