A New Shop Opening

Hi everyone!

I would like to announce the opening of my NEW SHOP.

Shabby Laundry Dry Goods

SHABBY CHIC, PRAIRIE, COTTAGE, and RUSTIC wares for you and your home.

I am planning to have it up and running November 1, 2014.

The shop will be filled with lots of vintage goodies and some handmade items as well.

Some of the things you will find there are vintage clothing like these:

Some for wearing and some for display.

Decorative Items

 

 Useful Items

 

 Crafting Supplies

 Handmade Gifts

These are just a few examples of the many handpicked and handmade items that will be available.

My goal is to keep the shop filled with interesting, reclaimed, vintage items at affordable prices.

I want folks to be able to have that Shabby Chic or Prairie Style look that you see in all the magazines, without having to spend a ton of money. 

Items listed in the shop will be featured HERE at

www.shabbylaundrydrygoods.blogspot.com, where you can view more photos of the items you find interesting and also gather ideas for using them in your own home.

A huge THANK YOU to all of my readers and followers.

Please take a moment to stop in at www.shabbylaundrydrygoods.blogspot.com and follow along for a chance to win a pretty lavender sachet. A winner will be chosen on November 1st. I hope you will join me there.

May you find peace in your day!

Remembering Grandma's Farm House

Every year the month of August brings back special memories of my childhood and time spent visiting Grandma's farm.  

 I loved playing under the great weeping willow tree in her yard and the arbors covered in climbing blooming vines. It felt like such a magical place and I would spend countless hours there breathing in the heavenly fragrance and sharing secrets with my dolls.

Yesterday as I shopped for antiques with my daughter, I found this pretty piece of teal and white transfer ware that reminded me of those days at Grandma's house.

 Her china cabinet was filled with treasures like this that were off limits to everyone but Grandma.

 I'm not sure what happened to all of those special treasures that belonged to my Grandmother, but when I see something that reminds me of those days I bring it home and relive those wonderful days from so long ago.

To me, Grandma's house was the original Shabby Chic Decor, even though it wasn't labeled as such back then. It gives me such a feeling of comfort.
