DREAM HOUSE:

Chinoiserie Chic with a punch of PINK!:

Imagine prepping your morning shot while looking at this beautiful tile. Duquesa Collection's Fatima Pattern in Mezanotte.:

striped paper flowers!!!!:

Chinoiserie Chic:


I hope the saying,"more is better" works for my store displays!
I will definitely be using the "layered look" as I bring the product into my new "little" shop.

Love the dark painted cabinets in this Swedish flower shop, really shows off the products that are on display.

The tiles, paper flowers and the chinoiserie chairs float my boat!

Let's talk about the pink lampshade in the room!!

Still leaning towards that pale coral as a pop of color  in a vignette.


Next week pictures of the new "little" shop.
Have a nice Sunday.

April Fools'!

No, we are not open at Anchor Cottage! I know,
"Yep, we're still here!"

Setting The Table

Pretty.

Simple.

Easter in the Holler.



Easter Dinner Is In The Oven

Happy Easter to all my little Snuggle Bunnies.

Flowers from Forget-Me-Not florist.

Easter baskets come in all shapes and sizes, Steve got an Easter mug filled with jelly beans this year.

Snow-drops and Robins on my windowsill. 

These cast-metal salt and pepper shakers are Steve's other present this year. Aren't they darling?



Did you see him?

There he goes, hop hop hopping along!

Time to put my Easter dress on and set the table pretty.

Ham, German potato salad, jello and baked beans...deviled eggs, carrot cake and sweet pickles...I can't wait.

Happy Easter everyone!

Lined Up And Waiting To Go!


Thank goodness my dinning room table is eight feet long!

There are boxes of Little English baby clothes under this table.

Six panels of draperies for the french doors neatly pressed.

Baskets full of line books waiting to be loaded into the hatch.

If I wait any longer this ceramic stool may have to stay home.

I have already taken one load to the shop.

How to work this collection into my new office.

These pillows, and Steve, are ready to move on.

"What the heck, we've been lined up and ready for a month now!"
Pillow talk!

Stacks and stacks of merchandise ready to be transported to Anchor Cottage.

At this point in time I will not even show you the state of the shop. It is coming along but I have a dry wall dust mess to clean up before I can put all the pretty pieces in place.

New fabrics and pillows and English cream ware all waiting in line to be packed up and taken to the store.

Monday is the day to go down to the store to set up shop. I need to arrange the fixtures and take the "swiffer" to the place.
Hang the curtains and unpack the merchandise and won't you be surprised at all the fun things that will greet your eyes!

I may be starting to get "cabin fever"!
