Whats New.....

Hello...I hope you are all having a great summer afternoon! I can't make up my mind whether to open more windows and forget the air conditioning, or close them all and just leave it on.....it is that kind of day. 82 degrees is not all that hot, but here in Michigan we have the humidity factor. : ( It can make it pretty miserable!
As you know SHABBY COTTAGE SHOPS is in their third day of Christmas In July. Todays feature is a cute Etsy Shop, 5 Dollar French Marche. I hope you will pop offer to see her wonderful offering with a free gift and free shipping, just for today only!

And besides painting all through the house, here is what I have been up to...

This is a darling vintage glass butter pat dish coupled with the sweetest small ( 3 1/2" ) vintage candlestick. Now it is a cute cupcake holder, faux or real as well as a votive candle holder.....The candlestick has a prettiest details...just click on the picture to make it larger....


And a pretty teacup and saucer I recently found....

You can see more HERE

I am thirsting for a glass of lemonade with a sprig of mint. Oh, I wish I had remembered to plant a little bit of it....We have the lemonade, just no mint, so I am off to pour a big glass with lots and lots of ice and then to find my paint brush!
Bye For Now....

A Pretty Vintage Find

~SOMEONE ELSE LOVED IT TOO....IT IS SOLD~
This is such a beautiful day! I wish there were time to walk down to the beach, but I just have too many things on my "to do list." Not fair! :(

Here is a find I wanted to share with you.....I think it is sooooo beautiful and the pictures just do not do it justice. It is a generous sized vintage linen for a table or dresser....the exquisite crochet and embroidery are at each end and the color is rich and very, very French.....French Country or Farmhouse. The fabric a wonderful linen.

I have to admit that I purchased this for myself, but it is a bit too long and so I am offering it on my WEBSITE

Hope you will come and take a peek and starting on the 9th, Saturday, Shabby Cottage Shops is starting a marvelous event that you won't want to miss.....More details to come!

Back to my list....Ho Hum!
Smiles,
Jil
