favorite whites of 2013...

At the end of last year, I shared my favorite whites of 2012.  I thought I would keep up the tradition this year with my favorite whites of 2013.

In January painting of treasures for the shop's At Home With White Show, held in April, had already begun...

February found me embellishing flour sack towels for the show...

I found these old beauties in March.  Originally intended for the show, they became keepers...

April was show time after a lot of hard work (and fun)...

In May I shared a few new treasures for my home...

I shared the treasures I filled my space with in June...

I did a little rearranging of my bedroom in July...

In August I shared my exciting news of having an article and photos featuring our At Home With White show published in Creating Vintage Charm Magazine...

Fall arrived in September and I shared my love of the little white pumpkins...

In October I turned 50 and was totally spoiled by family and friends...

I spent most of November in my studio creating for the holidays...

Finally, December was all about decking the halls...

Here's to a new year full of white inspiration!

I am so thankful to have such nice followers friends who make me smile with their kind comments and encouragement.

The friendships I have made are truly a gift I cherish.

Thank you, thank you, thank you and

Happy New Year!!

Joining City Farmhouse...thanks Jen!

favorite whites of 2012...

I thought for my first white post of 2013, I would share my favorite whites of 2012 with you.

In January I gave a vintage hamper a makeover...

In February I put together some new simple vignettes in my home...

March brought great news for Jake and his college search...

April was all about the At Home With White Show at the shop...

In May, for Mother's Day I got the sweetest gift from my daughter...

June was a month full of celebrations...

And July had me painting yard sale finds...

August was a month full of treasure hunting for myself and for a bigger space at the shop...

September was a busy month of makeovers...

I found a unique way to display pumpkins in October...

And in November I shared my JDL inspired advent calendar...

For December I tried to keep the holidays simple...

Here's to a new year full of white inspiration!

Joining Becky at Timewashed for her Blissful Whites Wednesday!

Thank you for hosting Becky and thank you for stopping by!!

blissful whites wednesday...

It has been a busy few weeks here working on Jake's room makeover, painting furniture for the shop as well as taking
Jeanne Oliver's Creatively Made Home ecourse.
The course is wonderful!!
 I really have not had much time for anything else.

However, I did not want to miss the first

Blissful Whites Wednesday

hosted by Becky from the beautiful blog, Timewashed!

On Friday I shared some photos of the shop including this display in Mary Ellen's space...



One of my blog friends spied the sweet pair of vintage shoes and wanted to purchase them and asked if I could ship them to her...

The answer, yes...anything for a blog friend.

Thank you Becky for carrying on this wonderful gathering that Kathleen started!

Thank you for visiting...have a great day!

I can't help it...

I have been treasure hunting for our annual

Vintage Fall Market Weekend

at the Wrentham Country Store.

I have been finding some great pieces to fill my space.

However (you know where I am going with this),

there is one find that I need to keep.

I can't help it...

Just loving all the chippy, rusty details and look at the wonderfully worn seat...

It's not perfect...

But perfectly imperfect for me, so I am keeping it!

I already found a spot for it.

Before...

After...

Beautiful french book...a gift from my friend Sue...thank you so much!

I just can't help it.

Sharing with Faded charm for White Wednesday.

Thank you for stopping by!!

summer's treasures...

Good Morning!

For White Wednesday today I thought I would share with you some of this summer's treasures that I am keeping in addition to the old bureau I showed you yesterday.

If you missed it you can see it here. 

I finally bought a demi john for myself from Jeannie at the shop...

I also found this wonderful rusty old scale...

I thought they would make a nice vignette together...

Today is a beautiful day!

Before I head out treasure hunting, I think I will visit Kathleen and see what inspiration I can take with me!

Thank you for hosting Kathleen!!

Thank you for visiting ~ before you leave, don't forget to enter my giveaway!!

Have a wonderful day!

P.S.~you can find me on Facebook too!

number 3...

Happy September!

Thank you all for checking in to see how both my moves went!

I am quite settled in my new space at the shop and will be sharing some pictures real soon.

We also moved Jake into his dorm this past Sunday morning.

It took 35 minutes.

It took us at least 2 hours to move his sister in years ago! 

He is having a great time!

As for me ~ I am doing pretty good.

Most of the time.

I am keeping busy doing lots of projects for my booth and doing a bit of fluffing at home.

I don't think I ever showed you my Ramsign enamel sign I won in a giveaway from Faye a while ago...

Thanks again Faye!!

I live at #3 on my street but it is reminding me that there are only 3 of us at home right now  :(  .

See, I told you, most of the time.

Thank you for stopping by!

I guess I will go cheer myself up and be inspired over at Kathleen's White Wednesday!

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!
