Congratulations to Pam, the winner of my spring giveaway!
Pam, send me your address and let me know which grain sack sachet you'd like from my Etsy shop.  I'll mail that out to you with the magazine.

Thanks all for joining in the fun!

Thriftin' finds

This past weekend my little girl and I took a trip to my favorite antiques shopping town - Essex, MA.  We made a stop at the White Elephant Shop, which also sells candy you can scoop into bags (that was the selling point for my girl).
It was nice to go thrifting again after such a long winter, and I found some lovely little things.  But before I show them, I want to remind you today's the last chance to enter my giveaway here.  I'll pick a winner by early tomorrow morning!

I can't pass up a cute ironstone milk pitcher, and these two tiny ones were perfect for single servings.  There were a lot of them at the store, which makes me think they came from a hotel, diner or B&B?

This vintage German book was tattered to perfection and the forks were just too pretty to leave behind:

What have you been finding lately?  I'm so excited to return to our local flea market this spring!

Grateful for Lovely Gifts

I hope you all enjoyed a blessed Easter this past Sunday. We hosted family here and it was wonderful.

And last week I was thrilled to receive a package in the mail from Becky of Buckets of Burlap!  I won her giveaway with a copy of the latest Vintage Style magazine as well as a fabulous bag.

Here is the magazine with her beautiful feature inside:

I just love how Becky styles her home and am so inspired by these photos.

She was also very generous to include this amazing bag with her giveaway, which I can't wait to bring to the local flea market to hold my finds!

Thank you Becky!!!

I was also blessed to receive this beautiful azalea plant from my Dad and stepmother at Easter.  They know how much I like white.  :)  Thanks Dad and Heidi!

Friends, stay tuned for a giveaway I'll be hosting soon as well....

Feature in Romantic Country!

Friends, I am so excited to share with you that my home is featured in the latest summer issue of Romantic Country magazine!  I am so pleased with the article and the photos that were used.  Last May, Fifi O'Neill and Mark Lohman visited our home to style and photograph it.  I was on cloud 9 and yet so nervous! (you can read about the visit here)  But Fifi and Mark put me at ease, and I am thrilled with the pretty results of their talents in this issue:

Our home's feature begins on page 40:

Here are some of Mark's photos that made it into this issue.

Thank you Fifi and Mark - you've captured the romance in our home, and I had such fun with you last year:

Be sure to grab a copy at the newsstands - Kris from Junk Chic Cottage also has a fabulous feature in this issue!
