Some New Pieces in Shop

I was selling this as part of a china cabinet but the top hutch sold so I am selling the cabinet for $72.00.

Chocolate brown chest - $78.00

This antique mantel and cast iron fireplace surround both came out of an original home in Old Town - from the 1930s!

This adorable piece could be used as china cabinet or bookcase - $125.00.

A Few Shop Pics







Cute Pillows and Inspiration Rooms

I ran across this Etsy shop and loved this pillow - the shop name is "dedeetsy" and her pillows are all so cute. That let me to her blog and she posts lots of inspiration rooms so a few of those are posted below. The blog is deannablogs.blogspot.com








I didn't see a tutorial for the linen pillows above but I am putting the link to the tutorial for these cute felt pillows. These are for sale on Etsy also. The link is: http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/how-tuesday-pillow-with-rosette-clusters-from-felt-furnishin-5095/
