Country Living Images

These are some beautiful images from the latest Country Living magazine. I think this garden is amazing. Look at the size of those dahliahs...wow.

I can't keep the weeds out of my garden, I can't imagine the work involved in this organic garden!

I love the combo of this bookshelf , painted in black....and the crazy quilt upholstered chair.

What a great....and inexpensive idea for a coat rack!

Another great purse !

Isn't this the cutest? I love the big size

(they call it a laundry bag), and the

ruffles. You can see the rest of

Shoestring Home here.

Frenchy Bag

I’ve been looking at so many great patterns online for handbags. I really like Amy Butler’s collection. Mom brought me a pattern last week for this very cute “frenchy bag”. It can be made as a shoulder bag or a hand bag.

For the first attempt I used this cool vintage cowboy barkcloth fabric. Granny gave it to me…it used to be curtains in my uncles bedroom when he was a boy! I’m really happy with it. I think next I’ll try some cute flowery summer prints in fun colours.

Packin up...

We're off...camping for a long weekend! Enjoy your weekend everyon :)

Blue Love

Just sharing a bit of blue and white love. Hope you enjoy the images as much as I do!

Have a great day :)

Finds Of The Day…

I popped into a few thrift shops today while out and about. It certainly pays to check in…and often. One day there’s nothing…the next day you could score big time. It you know what you are looking for, it just takes a minute to look for new things.

Sally Ann had a great linen table cloth….for .99cents! No stains or anything.

Value Village had a great selection of old pillowcases and sheets. These remind me of the bedding I grew up with! No quite sure what I’ll do with them yet…just thought they were fun. Most were .99cents each.

They also had these cute little oval dishes from Buffalo China. 4@ .99cents each. Right now I think I’ll use them in my craft room to hold odds and ends.

   

Our “Little” Canuck

Sully is officially a Barrie Canuck! First game was tonight so we all headed out to watch. Although we lost 2-0, he put out a fantastic effort and got right in there! Way to go Sully.
