How Is Your Week Going?

On a scale of one to ten I would have to say mine has been a ten. Last week it was a one. Amazing how small things can impact your entire week and they seem to multiply as the week goes on. Last week I could have crawled back into bed with the covers over my head and stayed there. This week has been fantastic!

One of the stores in the U.K that carries Petit Coterie, The Old Cinema was featured in BBC Homes & Antiques November issue. He was kind enough to send the photo used for the feature and there they were, our burlap pillows. That added a bright spot in my week.

I’m sure many of you have so many great ideas of things to make and the problem is just finding the time. This week, while working on orders I decided to allow some extra time to add some new items that have been on the back burner. Our new tea towels are finally available as well as a new burlap pillow for the holidays. Still have a few other things I want to accomplish but will save those for Saturday.

How is your week going on a scale of one to ten? I do hope it’s a ten for all of you!

Who Is The Winner?

What a great day this has been…. I never got out of my P.J.’s and even though I was not going to work , I still can’t help myself. I guess it’s not really work since I love what I do and Sunday is usually a slow pace day for me.

I also had such a great time going and visiting all the wonderful blogs that all of you posted. I loved having an opportunity to just travel around to so many interesting blogs. It was so hard to pick just one winner, so I have 3 winners!!! I want to thank all of you for sharing your favorite blogs and I do hope we can do this again as the holidays gear up.

The winners are:

Kelly Ann from Kelly Ann Studio , with her favorite blog http://www.bedifferentactnormal.blogspot.com

Vale from Les Cotrions, with her wonderful French blog http://leplaisirdesmets.over-blog.com/

Jacqueline from Home, with her beautiful blog ,http://www.melbourneepicure.blogspot.com

Thank you all for leaving a post and I do hope you will stop by again. Have a wonderful week!

We Are Going To France

We are so full of excitement at the thought of going to France, that I just had to share with all of you. I know you are thinking what a wonderful trip and yes it will be, but only for Petit Coterie pillows. Our pillows are going to a lovely shop that will be opening in 2 weeks called Fabulous French in Eymet, France.

I know many of you know Leeann from her Fabulous French blog, she is such a dear and is now working frantically to add some beautiful items to her shop. I was so thrilled when Leeann contacted me and wanted to carry Petit Coterie. I know her shop is going to be fabulous and I so wish that I could travel along with our pillows. If you want updates on Leeann’s shop and her grand opening stop by her blog.

Please don’t forget about searching for wonderful blog sites that have holiday recipes and decorating ideas. Just read the post below for all the details. I will pick the winner next Sunday. So start your search now!

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend,

Let's Go Searching

I don't know about you, but I often stay within my own circle of blogs. I think we all feel comfortable reading up on what our blog friends are up too. So I have come up with a challenge. Should you choose to accept this mission here is what you need to do.

With the holidays right around the corner I thought it would be fun to find new blogs outside of your own circle that are geared towards holiday food and entertainment. I think we all like new recipes as well as holiday decorating tips. I know there are some great blogs out there that have fabulous recipes and I thought it would be fun to share these blogs.

Once you find an interesting blog, come back and post a comment and a link on why you like the blog. Of course there is an incentive for the best blog searcher and that would be a pillow slip of your choice from my Etsy shop. I think this will be fun and I do hope that you will join the search.

Yesterday was one of those days when nothing would go right, to much humidity in the air so much of my work ended up in the scrap pile. I was so exhausted last night that I forgot to post the winner of the Holiday stocking, so here it is! The winner is June from Laughing With Angels. I want to thank all of you who left such wonderful posts about your holiday traditions.

Happy mid-week to all of you. I do hope the rest of your week is full of blessings. Now let's go searching!

I Feel Like I Have Been on Another Planet

My days have been consumed with work and by the end of the day all I can think of is sleep. I know many of you are getting busy preparing for the upcoming holidays and there just aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done.

I have had so many of my customers ask for fabric that can be used for upholstering chairs, ottomans and yes even pillows. We now are offering fabric by the yard and I just wanted you to see our latest design.

You know me, I absolutely love giveaways so here it is… Just by leaving a post telling us what your favorite holiday tradition is. You could be picked as the winner for for one of our burlap stockings. I know everyone loves to hear what traditions are special to you and your family. I will pick the winner on October 6th

Hopefully, my space ship will touch down soon and I can regain a normal life. I hope all of you have had a great week and by all means have a wonderful weekend.

Someone So Special Winner..

I know many of you are wondering who the winner of the Enchante pillow is, and I must say it was a very hard choice. You all offered some wonderful people who are so deserving and I sincerely thank you for sharing.

The winner of the pillow is the McClenahans and I have added their link so you can all see what a wonderful inspiration they are. What makes this giveaway so special is the person who submitted their name has never met the McClenahans. Rose from Portugal had read their blog and was inspired to submit them. Thank you so much Rose!

Recently I had asked for your creative suggestions for a pillow I was doing and many of you sent the most wonderful sayings for my royal winged giveaway. I have added the picture of the design and I want to thank Karen from Brayton Homestead Interiors for her suggestion.

I hope all of you have a blessed and wonderful weekend.
