It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas

 

Welcome to the cottage....

 

It's time to sparkle and shine... 

Michaels has a lot of pink Christmas this year. This little Putz house was there.  Along with tons of other beautiful things.

 

 Like this little tree.

 

And More sparkle 

 

And what is Christmas without gingerbread people? (These are not from Michaels)  I'm slowly getting ready... My husband has no idea where my Christmas Decorations are!  I have a small box that I didn't like to store in the attic but other than that we are not sure where the rest are. Hopefully he will find them. 

I hope your having fun decorating and shopping for your loved ones.

The Fancy Flea

 

This weekend was the Fancy Flea in Plant City. It was a perfect day. Not to hot with a slight breeze. 

I fell in love with this table, but I didn't buy it... 

 

 I thought this was really fun, but I didn't get it either....

 

So what did I get? I got this beautiful sign. I'm hanging it on the porch. 

 

I got these two little dogs.... Little things get me every time. 

 

And this lovely cow painting on the left.... It's from Kimberly Ryan ... Formerly Paris Rags. That was it!  This weekend I'm heading to the Fancy Flea in Madison Florida. My husband will be hunting and fishing and so will I just for different things.

The Guest Room

 

Here's a little peak into the guest room... But it changes daily. I'm constantly changing and moving things about.

I changed the lamp and added the birds.  I need to get a longer bed skirt but haven't yet. Maybe I'll make one.

The guest clock

 

These vintage hound dogs are so cute to me. 

 

Thanks for stopping by...

Happy Monday Lovelies!

Settling In

 

We are starting to settle into our new home. It has not been a bad adjustment. My husband has worked so hard!! He really did a great job!! He laid the wood floors. They are Cali Bamboo. This is the cottage  living room. 

We didn't buy any new furniture. We were out of funds by the end of the project. So we had to use what we already had. It's quite comfortable. We love spending time in here. 

 

 The master bedroom is a lot smaller than our last bedroom. We were really worried about it being to small but everything fit. It's just a little cozier. 

 

The chair I recovered still squeezed into the room.

 

 

The guest room is slowly coming along. I'm absolutely loving it! The bed is an old iron bed from the 1800's. I used Shabby Chic bedding and and old handmade quilt.

 

Pillows made from vintage chenille finish it off. My little lambie pie loves her new room. I will share more soon. 

Have a Blessed Day 

Winona Cottage

 

Here is the new kitchen. Outfitted in pink appliances from Big Chill. I really love the appliances! The kitchen cabinets are Kraftmaid. 

 

With pink glass knobs of course.

 

We used an old screen door from a house that was to be torn down as the pantry door.

 

Retro beauty 

 

Praying Lady cookie jar.

 

Here's the toy version. The inspiration for the life size fridge. 

 

My friend Chrissy from @finallyafarmgirl on Instagram,  sent me this cute dish towel that she hand embroidered. It's perfect for the new kitchen. We should be moving in next week.!. Or so we think. The only thing I ever know for sure is nothing is for sure. Have a blessed week!

Pink Heaven

 

Last week was my birthday.... Another year gone. My husband's cousin took me to lunch and we stopped at a few thrift stores. I couldn't believe my luck. I entered pink dish heaven💕 

 

I found so many beautiful pink dishes. I'm totally in love with them. I'm guessing someone either passed away and they had a lot of pink or someone grew tired of them. But I got a whole set of these plates, salad plates and butter plates. No bowls but I will keep my eyes open.

 

I couldn't leave them behind! I was so happy. A little birthday blessing.

 

My daughter also went with me to the consignment shop on my birthday. We weren't as successful there. But it was fun.

 

In other news the house is in the last stages! I'm hoping by next week to be finished! 

 

My husband started on the door knob installation.

 

And half of the appliances were delivered! Yes I really bought pink appliances! I never grow tired of the color. While others are changing everything and getting rid of there pink I'm only loving it more.

I do hope you are all well. 

Blessings and Love,
