Summer Dreams

Rustic Pie Stand

Hi Everyone~

Have you ever dreamt of waking up in the French countryside?

Wire Basket with Altered Bottles

Where everything is dreamy?

Have you ever wanted to return to a life where things

were simple?

Altered Beach-Themed Tote

Or have you ever wanted to just

spend a lovely day at the seashore?

Summer dreams are like that--They can just make you

feel swept away...

These are just some of my brand-new Etsy additions--

Island Fever!

Hi Everyone~

Yes, it's that time of year again--a time when many of us want to get to the beach and put our toes in the sand!

I wanted to show you some of my new beach-themed Etsy items...

I got the idea to sell various pieces that could be used to display shells or any other collection...

Shelves are always fun...especially in a special nook or cranny of the house where you want some added pizzazz...

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this set of shelves to repurpose them!

And, of course, sconces with a fleurish design fit so perfectly with any Beach Cottage decor...

Dreamy...Just like a day at the beach!

Oh, and one more thing...If you love French Farmhouse decor, please scroll down to see what I have in store...

I have been having trouble posting to many blogs, so if you don't hear from me, you'll know why!!

Love & hugs,

Cindy

Coastal Chic Pink Saturday

A Special Birthday Celebration!

Hi Everyone~

This weekend is the 3rd birthday of Pink Saturday and I hope you will join all of us with your "pinks" to celebrate this happy occasion with Beverly at How Sweet the Sound!

This week is also the Grand Opening of a brand-new section of my Etsy store and it is called 2 Market 2 Market. Everything in this section is $10 and under, so if you need to do some shopping this weekend, I hope you'll take a peak in there for both Shabby Cottage and Beach Cottage Treasures.

For those of you who love Pink Saturday (and don't we all love it?) I thought you might enjoy a little "excursion to the beach" with these newest creations of mine from my Grand Opening.

(Oops! Since I made this post, this set was sold,

but if you'd like to buy a set, just let me know.)

These little peat pots can be placed on a table or shelf for added ambiance and a touch of "Coastal Chic."

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

And before you go, I'd like to tell you that my friend Holly from 2911 Jeremiah Avenue has a feature of me on her blog...It is called "A Woman of Hope." I hope you will go take a look! Thank you Holly! You are so dear to me.

Happy Birthday, Pink Saturday and congratulations Beverly for keeping us all "in the pink!"

Also, if you love vintage-style decorating, I hope you'll scoot down to the next post to take a look at my newest items!
