Shopping Day!

Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to go barn sale-ing with my sissy & some friends. We started early because it was quite a drive! I had a wonderful time and came home so inspired! I enjoy merchandising the store, but boy, did I come back with lots of ideas. If you are tired of looking at the same old things GO SHOPPING! Look at displays and bring home some new ideas to use with your old stuff!

Vintage Whimsey!

Look at all the great treasures at Petals & Greens Cottage! Dianne & I have been steadily creating our new look & I think we arecoming along beautifully! It's so hard to know just what to do! When it comes together it really comes together! Come in and see when you visit the Jamestown Vintage Fleamarket on the 24th!

The Art of Inspriation

Today was spent with my friend & cohort Stacey & my little sis Dianne. We finally got a craft day after many, many long months and boy what a way to get inspired! We all seem to bounce off of each other. The ideas start small and just bloom with every person's input! I love how we all work together. Stacey has a beautiful yard that just compels you to be creative. We had a wonderful lunch, got to play with her adorable pooch, & came away with gorgeous collages too!

Need some creative time? Call your friends up & have a girls craft day!

Is it Summer already?

How did this happen? I was minding my own business enjoying the Spring flush in the garden & the next thing I know it's almost summer! Don't get me wrong! I LOVE summer. Sleeping in, no agendas, breakfast on the patio with no Jacaranda blossoms falling into my coffee! But last time I checked it was April. It must be having kids.....

At my little haunt, Petals & Greens Cottage we've just re-set the shop. Dianne has done it again with some absolutely wonderful finds! It's a place you have to slow down in just to see everything. Cottage-y, fun, funky, & whimsical all in one place. My friend Stacey always has great ideas to plump us up & arranges things just so we always look like a million bucks! She has some terrific booths at CR so stop in to see the treasures she's got.
