Junkin!

I forund a GREAT jewelry box yesterday at Goodies (Goodwill).

It plays this:

I was originally ispired to do a jewelry box makeover

by Lindy at Cottage Hill.

I've fallen madly in love with her Baby Blue Bird Box and the TUTORIAL.

I don't expect mine to look this lovely and handpainted, as I'll be using a decal and some decoupage, but we do what we can.

I hope it inspires you too!

Good Morning Darlings,

Today I would like you to meet Violet LeBeaux.

Here's the link!

I think she's just the cutest thing!

She's got so many tutes. I was thinking I could modify a shower cap tute into a cover for my iron and there she was. I hope you like her blog.

Accessories!

I found myself on the Bridal page but this website has loads of goodness, bridal or other.

The best Shabby Goodness EVER!

HAPPY FRIDAY! I hope you're ready for a lovely weekend and if you're on a treasure hunt, I hope you find great new treasures. My favorite parts of Shabby Chic style decorating are the recycling and the hunt.

I was hunting around the web and found some lovely chateaus. So how about Shabby Goodness from the outside in?

I'm sorry to say these are all "French" Chateaus and I'm guessing the majority of us are stateside, but a girl can dream can't she?

Not Too Shabby: Gardens

Today I searched on "shabby hydrangeas" and ended up at Country Living Magazine.

They glammed up an old green house with shabby goodness!

There are so many ads on the page, but the slide show is worth it. Have a look and I hope you enjoy.

Got coffee?

Today how about a look at some Cute Pink Stuff? This promises to be a JAM PACKED blog and I haven't had a thorough look at it yet so I'm off to find my coffee and have a more leisurely look. If you're at the office, please enjoy responsibly.

Seriously! Cute, pink stuff!

Kelly's

Well Good Morning Darlings,

Apparently I've had a "Shabby Chic FAIL"! So I've decided to change the name of this page to "Motorhomes" as opposed to using any sort of Shabby Chic reference in the title.

I am such a HUGE fan of the motorhome redo - I'll take it in any style.

Today's offering, you may have seen before, is Kelly's of "Rose Vine Cottage Two". Her's was the first I'd seen and I fell madly in love!
