Sharing this week's,what's new in the shop. This week I am adding more linens to the shop. I am always hunting for linens and even if they are not vintage but have that vintage look I swoop them up. I love Rachel Ashwell's linens. And even though they are not vintage they have that vintage look. This duvet cover is neither vintage or Rachel Ashwell,it's a retired duvet cover from Pottery Barn. But I love the soft pink roses on one side and  pink and white check on the other side. Here is a little tip....or trick. I don't have a feather filled duvet,but I do have comforters so  I use  a comforter the size of the duvet cover. I simply put the comforter inside the duvet cover,so don't pass up those duvet covers when you find them. Even without a duvet you can still use these. I ... View Post

I decided to do a little photo shoot with my daughter  modeling this lovely Prairie style vintage prom dress. I have lots to learn about photography and one way to learn is to practice. Yes lighting is key and when shooting outdoors the time of day is also key. But when you are working with your teenage daughter you can't always pick the time of day to shoot. You can see I have lots of shadows on my photos,some were edited out but not all can be. This is an open field near our home,it makes a perfect back ground when shooting outdoors. We were also going for  prairie style with this vintage prom dress,can you see the cowgirl boots peeking out from under the dress. This prom dress is absolutely gorgeous,and it will be a newly listed item in the shop this week. The prom dress is  ... View Post

Ah the romance of fall,the cool crisp air,the smell of burning leaves and fire places. The sound of crunching leaves on the ground. Natures colors turn golden. It's time to pull out our sweaters,and boots. And let's not forget about those soft warm blankets and snuggling by the fire. **This shot was from last winter.** Doesn't fall sound amazing! I mean who wouldn't want to live somewhere that was so beautiful this time of the year. Drinking a cup of hot apple cider,visiting the apple orchards. Taking a hay ride. Living in a small town I see many old houses,like this bed and breakfast. And this old building with it's chippy paint. Some would look at this as if it were a dump,but I see the beautify the lies beneath. Yes fall is all around us....but I have to ... View Post
