~ Can't Believe I Won! ~

Wow, I can't believe I won the giveaway at Flora Doora.  I love the Flora Doora I ordered from Jane's Etsy site [here].  I can't believe I won this one in her giveaway.  It's so pretty!

I love every one she features.  Here is another one of my favorites in a French print.

Please check out Jane's blog.  She finds the best things in thrift stores.  Makes me want to get in my car and drive South!  Really, unbelievable!

Since I was so lucky, I'm happy to share a chance to win a great giveaway [here].  All the dealers at One of a Kind Shoppe contributed something to make a wonderful gift basket.  Everyone is welcome to enter for a chance to win.

Thanks, again Jane!

~ Crazy Fun and a Winner ~

How much fun is it to start the weekend with a Friday night auction?  I came home with a car-load of goodies and the delivery truck is coming on Sunday with a huge piece!  Yikes, I'm not quite sure how it is going to fit in the shop, but I had to have it.  These wonderful French headboards weren't in this month's auction, but my fingers are crossed that they will be in the next one.

The building is packed full of everything you can imagine. 

Now for the giveaway . . . I have met so many wonderful people through this blog from every corner of the globe.  Followers who participated in this giveaway came from Australia, Italy, Spain, France, South Africa, and from all over the U.S.  Everyone is so talented and creative and I thoroughly enjoy meeting you and reading all of your posts!  I did a random drawing from a copy of all the comments received here and at One of a Kind Shoppe and the winner is Laura from My Summerhouse.  I love her blog.  She likes all things French, pink and girly.  Her pictures are gorgeous and she immediately touched me with her lovely spirit.  Please visit her and say hello.  I just ordered some pillow covers from her Etsy store.  Gorgeous!

Thank you to all who stop by to visit, and those who follow, and those who participated in the giveaway.  I wish everyone could win. 

Have a wonderful weekend.

~ Uncluttered ~

I've been attracted to very simple, uncluttered spaces lately.

I wonder what that means?

Please be sure to check out my giveaway below.  It will close a week from today.

Have a simply wonderful weekend.

I could get lost in this image and be happy.  So pretty!

This photo was taken by Karyn Millet, photographer of Annette Tatum's book The Well Dressed Home.  I loved it so much I bought an extra copy for the shop.  I want a fairy tale home like this!
