Cottage Vintage Sale!

 
Hi there! Well the yard sale was a huge success! We had such a great time and sold tons of neat vintage items and some new lovely handmade things too, that we are planning another sale in the Spring! I will be editing the house again (still lol) and gathering more stuff! Wow you never know what you have until you start organizing things huh! :)
 
 
Ok, if I was going to have a sale it had to be somewhat cute and cottage-ie!
 








My friend Miss K is an amazing lady! She worked her fingers to the bone making beautiful hats, shrubs, shawls and magnetic jewelry of all kind! She is the gemstone gal! All of her items have meaning.
She also made the lavender body wraps, which I sure used that evening! Helped with the back!
 
Anyway, I've been missing lately, recouping from the two day sale, and now my other friend is moving and the other one is having knee surgery! I'm not sure where I will be in the next few days either! :)
 
Hope you had a great week! We are off and runnin this week with snow, wind, rain, you name it and now it is darn cold! Burr! I'm not a "cold" person! lol!    xo kat

Happy Thanksgiving........from my home to yours..

Good morning! It is the day before Thanksgiving and I must stop and think, there is just so much to be thankful for. Health, Family, Happiness, Dear Friends, Peace
 
Getting ready for the Cottage Vintage Sale, Black Friday and Saturday here in quaint little town, should be a ton of fun! Think the weather will finally cooperate! Also getting ready to decorate the front lawn with my vintage Christmas wooden pieces.
 
I will be back after the Holiday with news and updates, stay tuned! Lots to do, lists to check, not to mention a little fur baby that got bit by a spider and is getting better daily! Poor little baby! Looked like a chipmonk! He will be fine......
 
Wishing you and yours a safe, healthy, and wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family!
 
love, kat xo =^.^=

A Fall Saturday

Good morning everyone!
 
It's going to be a beautiful day, wind and all! Hint: Never say the "w" word around a golfer! lol
 
I will be finalizing all the set up staging in the FW for the upcoming Vintage Cottage Chic show next weekend! Maybe I will be able to find the dining table, the hallway and the door to the garage! What a mess I make! But I am like a five year old with the crafts :) Am I alone here? Let me know! lol
 
It is getting scary getting closer to the days! But going to be fun non the less :)
 
The weather has been beautiful, almost 80 degrees here in quaint little town and I'm still wearing sandals and short sleeve tops and thank you Lord for the low utility bill this month! :)
 
It's a Garden Cottage today, roses are blooming and all the plants are loving the cooler weather as well, you can see it! From 117 deg to 80 ish, they are thriving and growing now.
 
Have a great day! xo kat

Hi there! Well, it has been one busy week here at the Cottage, getting ready for the Vintage Cottage Sale.

While we are fast approaching the first annual BDCottage Vintage Sale on the 22 & 23 of November, we all are workin our fingers to the bone, My crochet group plus others are burning the midnight oil!

Beautiful Jasper and magnetic Gemstone jewelry, the pictures do not do justice, the gorgeous handmade scarves, ruffled scarves too in so many colours! Tons of shabby chic white furniture, lots of sets of my handmade holiday mantle blocks and burlap banners, can you say hot glue!  ouch! lol

Anyway, it should be a fabulous event of all handcrafted, handmade things for the Christmas and Holiday season and of course some special old vintage items, plus things for the kiddos, blankets, denim jackets and lots of books from my Library too.

I've been making crochet "spa cloths" out of 100 % cotton, in all colours, small to large, would make a lovely gift with a fancy bar of homemade soap!

Well, I hope you have a wonderful weekend, I will be working like Santa's Elf in the FW and finishing up hopefully this weekend, fingers crossed, so I can have a couple of days to recoup before the "show."  I'm very excited, as the "theme" is "vintage cottage chic" and I've been decorating and setting up! I will take lots of pictures to post!

In the meantime, here are a few more pictures! For more, pop over to my Facebook page! hugs...
