The Pouf and Shop Update

Wow!

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since my last post.

Life keeps happening and time is just flying by. There have been so many things going on and I haven't been able to do all the things I had planned. My little Etsy shop will still be opening tonight at midnight, despite life's recent challenges.

Please stop by and have a look.

I will be adding new items every week.

I wanted to share a photo of the pouf that I made recently.

When things get stressful and I can't sleep, I crochet.

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

Roses and Pink Ironstone

I'd never seen a tie dyed rose before.

 Found it in our local grocery store's floral dept.

 Pink ironstone.

 Love this pink ceramic spoon!

 Love these tiny pink roses too!

 So lovely!

Have a pleasant, peaceful day!

Pastel Vases

Found this sweet pink ice bucket at the thrift store yesterday.

 It's chipped, but I still love it.

 I mean how often do you see a big pink ice bucket?

 Perfect for the last of my pink hydrangeas.

 No point leaving them outdoors to freeze.

 So pretty.

 This vase looks good even without flowers.

 One of my favorite colors.

Thanks for looking.

Take care.

Fall Flea Market Finds

 I love Flea Markets in the Fall. We start out early Sunday morning when the air is crisp and cool. Armed with coffee and our picker bags, we're out the door by 7a.m.

 The grass is still wet with dew as we make our way through the field, where row after row of cars are already parked. This is our favorite thing to do on the 3rd Sunday of each month from May thru October.

It didn't take long for me to find a few things that I just couldn't live without.

 The flea markets here in Pennsylvania will be coming to a close soon.

I'll miss the thrill of the hunt over the long winter months.

Thanks for stopping in!

Heavens To Betsy

What a funny saying.

Heavens to Betsy

It doesn't have anything to do with anything.

Just like these onions.

The last of my onions from the garden.

 A little Blooming Kale.

 Not sure what this is.

 I just love these Hydrangeas.

RED 

 Sweet Pink Hydrangeas.

 Creeping.

 A cluster.

 Clean up of trees downed in summer storms.

 Under the Mulberry Tree.

 Drooping.
