I just added new treasures to the shop, and since I haven't shared what's new in the shop in sometime now, I thought today I would. I also want to mention one more thing about the survey, but fist let's take a look at what's new in the shop. I've had this French basket for many years. I bought it from a dear friend of mine, but since I am slowly downsizing I am letting it go. I have used it for my dried hydrangea's, and pumpkins and much more. It's a bit tattered, but oh so perfectly Shabby Chic! I love collecting silverware, I have been for years. These pieces are part of my collection that I am letting go. Yes it's very mismatched. It's an interesting collection, many pieces have monograms, and one even says United with the United Airlines symbol. I can't imagine how old ... View Post

First I wanted to thank you again for taking the time to take the  survey. The survey gives me a good idea of what you enjoy the most about the blog, and what you don't like so much. So the survey says.... I suck at recipes LOL! Well, how did you all know that cooking wasn't really my thing? Yes, most of your replied that you do not want to see my recipes. Actually I love baking, but I don't do it often, and that's a good thing for my waist. So I won't be sharing any more recipe posts, unless it's something amazing or out of this world! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know there were a few, yes just a few comments about not sharing photos of roses. But, I love them and I am still going to share them. It's sort of my trademark, and part of my style.  I will try not to show them all of the ... View Post

I hope you can help me out and in return I would love to help you out as well. I often wonder if I am sharing content you truly enjoy, or am I just amusing myself. Many times I hear crickets, with no comments posted. I really do enjoy reading and replying to your comments. But when I share content and see no comments I wonder, was it something I said or shared? So today it's all about you! I want to hear your thoughts and ideas to make White Lace Cottage your favorite site to visit. When you visit, I want you to be over the moon excited, so much so that you share White Lace Cottage with all of your friends. When I am in love with a site,or a product, a food, place or whatever, I want to share it with the world! Please take the survey below, I assure you it's very painless and ... View Post

The last two days I have been working in my kitchen on a project, and I cannot wait to share! But today I wanted to get a little personal, and talk about what it was like growing up in the 1970's verses today. A commercial that someone shared on Facebook struck a nerve, and really put things in prospective. Let me share a little about me and my childhood. I was born in 1966, so I grew up in the 1970's. (yes this is me crafting away ;-) ) Down the street from our house lived a sweet lady. My friends and I would walk on down to Mrs. Little's house and ask if we could pick cherries off of her tree. Sometimes she said yes, and other times she told us they weren't ready for picking. Either way, Mrs. Little was always kind when we asked. I am sure we pestered her quite a bit. When ... View Post

Today for fabulous furniture Friday feature, I am sharing an amazing and inspirational person Paula Blankenship, and a paint that changed my life! I have had many ask me how I was introduced to Heirloom Traditions paint. Back in in October or November of last year I received a message from Paula Blankenship in my FB messages asking if I wanted to try a sample of paint. I said, why of course, I would love to! The sample was sent, and I fell in love with the paint. My first post sharing this amazing paint went viral, How to distress paint using vinegar. From that day on, I was hooked! I love how creamy this paint is, and how easy it is to work with. It distresses with ease, I love the color selection, the waxes and all the new products that have recently came out. This ...
