This is it....

Next Monday my main shop will turn into an information website....meaning it'll be a main site that will direct you to either my blog or etsy shop. I will no longer be selling through there....

But no worries....I'll still be selling....on etsy.

I've come to really love selling on etsy....I've been a long time buyer....and have always loved shopping there....and now....I love selling there too. It's not easy keeping 2 online websites stocked and fresh....eventually one suffers....it doesn't get your full attention....and that's not cool with me.

So....

now....

I'll be able to devote my time to selling vintage items....

and sewing up some new goods too....

sounds good don't ya think.

Oh....and this being the last week my main website will be a shop....

for this week only....

if you enter code "MAR2011" at checkout....

you'll receive 50% off your entire purchase.

This code is only valid on my main website...and does not apply to my etsy shop...or previously purchased or sold items.

And stay tuned....I have a giveaway coming up shortly too.

love ya guys!

Last Chance

If you've had your eye on something on our main website....

this may be your last chance to get it.

If you use code "FEB2011" at checkout...you'll get 35% off your entire purchase.

And when it's gone....it's gone.

This discount is only valid on our main website....and does not apply to my etsy shop. It also doesn't apply to items already sold...or sold out.

I also have a little favor to ask of any international readers I may have....

My second grader was given a project were he needs to send a little duck to another country for a visit. All it requires is a little note saying what he did while visiting you...and a coin from your country. If anyone's interested in helping my little guy out...please let me know in a comment.

Thanks so much!

What's Inspiring Me Today

These are some of the images that are inspiring my newest makeovers....

a mix of grainsack and florals....

painted white furniture...

beautiful crystal chandeliers....

and lots of white...with pops of subtle color.


I'm trying to incorporate a little bit of all these rooms into my home.....


and the great thing has been that I've hardly had to buy anything.....


I was amazed to see that once I started freshening up my home....I had almost everything I needed already...love that!


My bedroom for example.....the only thing I had to purchase for that makeover was a pint of paint for $6.75 and a chandelier for $150.00....that't it. I didn't have to repaint walls, buy any new bedding....or furniture (just gave some pieces a facelift)....I just used things I had around the house. Looking at my inspiration photos helped me to gather the items I needed. I had many similar, if not the same things as my inspiration rooms....it's just that I had them scattered around the house....these photos helped me to focus on the "look" I was after....


and so far....I'm liking the results.


So....what's inspiring you lately?
