White Wednesday with Jeanne d' Arc Living~

Welcome to another one of Kathleen's White Wednesday. 

I wanted to share with you my latest discovery. I'm sure most of you have heard of the Jeanne d' Arc Living Magazine...well, just like everything else I kept putting off in purchasing this magazine until a few months ago.  I gotta tell ya when I received the Christmas issue I was hooked!  I have never before in my life seen such an inspiring piece of work.  This made my day when I opened the package to find such a beautiful spread of pages full of ideas and so much more.  If you have never seen this book...(it literally is a book...more than 150 pages) then you'll know what I'm talking about.  It's not only page after page of lovely homes and vignettes, but it also includes recipes with pictures and the best part is there are no advertisements....they save those for the last few pages of the magazine.  How great is that!  This is a work of genius in my opinion.  O.K. I can go on and on about this but I know you're waiting to see for yourself, so....here are pictures I took of the 2 magazines I have received so far.  Enjoy!

            

I hope you enjoyed my White Wednesday.  

This magazine will be published 8 times this year.  If you are interested in purchasing one they are available exclusively through Jeanne d' Arc Living retailers only.  To find a complete list of retailers, go to their website http://www.jeannedarcliving.dk/ under "magazine".

White Wednesday~

Another White Wednesday is upon us so I thought I would give you a peek into my booth at the antique mall. A few months ago, I downsized from a booth size of 11x20 to a teeny tiny little booth of 7x8. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to have such a small space. If you put too much in it, everything gets lost! If you don't have enough then your sales are terrible! Go Figure...Anyway, here a just a few pics of the recent re-do since the Holidays.

Final White Wednesday of 2009~

First, let me start by saying that I hope everyone's Christmas was Merry and Happy! Even if you didn't get gobs of presents, we should all be thankful for having our families and loved ones around us during this Season....

that's the biggest Blessing of all!

Now, on to the final White Wednesday of 2009!

This last installment of WW for this year consists of some of my own personal collections and pics of things or collections that I'd like to have one day!

Let's start with some of my collections~

And now for some of my favorites and what's on my Wish List~

I hope you enjoyed my WW

and may all your wishes come true in the New Year!

Happy 2010!!!!

White Wednesday~

I apologize for not being consistent with 'White Wednesday'. So with the weather being too cold outside to be shopping and doing what I need to do to prepare for Christmas...I thought this would be a good time to join in the fun. It's too warm and cozy in my house to not want to indulge in today's 'White'.

Here's a few pics of my home in 'White' dressed for the Holidays!

Enjoy and stay warm~

Peace, Love, and Blessings~

I know it's been a while since my last post but my computer has been sick and just got out of the hospital.

I do hope that everyone's Thanksgiving was super! I was very blessed to be able to spend the day with my family and eat way too much. But hey, isn't that what it's all about?

My home and table~

So, with Turkey Day over it is now time to tackle the task of decorating for the Holidays, do some shopping and so much more. Next week I will attempt to get my house decorated and maybe do some entertaining before December really gets crazy. Christmastime has always been one of my favorite times to decorate and entertain. To me it's the one time of the year that conservatives like me go out a little more than usual with their decorating.

May your Holiday Season be filled with Peace, Love, and Laughter.

White Wednesday & Canton Trip~

Kathleen's White Wednesday's are too special not to miss...so I am combining my Canton trip post with today's White Wednesday.

I had a special traveler with me on my trip...Linda Gregory (I have featured her shop before in Victoria called Past Time). She was going to Canton that same week so we decided to go together and enjoy ourselves for a few days. We went to Huntsville to meet up with Theresa Cano of Garden Antqs and followed her to Canton the next day. What was really special about this trip is the southern hospitality that was given to us not only on the day we got there but the whole trip. Marion, Theresa's "Junkin' Buddy" was a wonderful host to have us over for a summer lunch at her home on Wednesday when we arrived. I can't tell you how thrilled Linda and I were to be treated so special. Being in Marion's home was all we needed to get those creative juices going. Marion has a very special talent for putting together the most sweetest and interesting vignettes together. I will feature her home in a later post, I'm sure you have seen her home on Theresa's blog....just beautiful! Theresa and Marion "Junkin' Buddy" were such wonderful hosts for putting up with us during the trip to Canton. They are junkin' pros and well...we are just amateurs. They were very patient with us. We thank you both for all you did to make our trip a memorable one.

Now, I want to share some photos of a few things that I picked up on my trip. You will be able to see the rest in Warrenton at the show in my booth at Tree Park Field.

This baby picture was given to me as a b-day present from Linda. She bought it for the frame it was in and I fell in love with the picture and now it's mine!

I Love It!!!!

Thanks so much Linda, you're too sweet!

The baby shoes are a favorite of mine..I love baby shoes and clothes, any kind of baby item. Check out the mannequin I bought from Theresa...I had to have her when I saw her in person.

Just Darling!

I don't know if you can see them real well, but I also picked up a great pair of gold sconces.

And I can't decided if I want to sell this mantle or the other one I bought in Canton....decisions, decisions....oh! well you'll just have to come see me and check it out for yourself.

Again, Myself and Linda had a great time and we hope to join Theresa and Marion again real soon.

Blessings~

Junkin' Finds~

It's Monday and I'm so excited about this week. There are some interesting things going on and I want to share them with you. First, I headed out to one of my favorite places in town this morning...The Outpost Resale Shop. Take a look at some of the things I picked up while there. A baby doll, a creamy vase, a couple of ironstone plates, and some odd pieces of glassware.

But my most favorites of them all is this unique magnetic hurricane tracking map. I thought it was the neatest thing, it tells you about "How A Hurricane Is Born". Too Cool! It's got some rust on it but hey, a little rust never hurt no one!

And now, for the really interesting news. I am going on a small buying trip to Canton this Wednesday thru Friday before I head to Warrenton in a couple of weeks! I will be joining Theresa of Garden Antqs Vintage and her "Hubby" Cruz and "Junkin' Buddy" Marion. I am so excited about this and hope to see some of you in Canton!

Here's to everyone and a Good Junkin' Week~

CHEERS!!!

Another White Wednesday~

O.K.....I know it seems that the only time I do a post is on White Wednesday's. I just can't seem to find enough time to sit down and download all the pics that I take and then come up with a "catchy" title and something to say that goes with all the photos and blah, blah, blah!!! I won't bore you with all of this I think you all know how this goes.

Today's White Wednesday consists mainly of my booth when I ran in the other day to fill in some spots that needed tweakin'.

Don't forget to stop by Kathleen's at Faded Charm and check out all the White Wednesday participants!

Have a great week!

Peace, Love and Blessings~
