Hello my friends! I'm finally back. I left Thursday morning and headed for Denver for the weekend, inorder to visit my best friend Natasha. She has been my friend now for half of my life! It was an amazing weekend...we did a lot of shopping, ate waaaaaay too much food {as always :)}, and laughed continuously!!! I came home after my girl's weekend feeling blessed to have a friend in my life that I know I could turn to with anything and she would always support me...Natasha you are simply the best! I also walked away from the weekend feeling blessed to have a husband who lovingly allows me the time I need to renew my spirit and nurture my need for friendship and creativity! As a total bonus, I was also able to spend time with my friend Jeanne on two different days, as she lives in the Denver area as well! Let me just say, that Jeanne is as warm, kind, and genuine as she seems on her blog, and I feel incredibly lucky to count her amongst my friends!!
I have been wanting to change things up a bit in my SHOP for awhile now and finally found the time today to finish making those changes. I have decided to switch over to free ground shipping on all orders {in the continental United Staes}! The price that is listed is exactly what your end price will be, with no additional shipping charges being added at checkout!* I have learned a few things since opening my shop and I just feel that it is easier all the way around for everyone if they know exactly how much an item will cost them up front. I am very excited for this change :)
I have also started adding a few new items to the shop...
After my trip to Paris, I have been craving all things French, even more than before! So I have added some vintage inspired table runners and napkins to the mix of what I offer. These items are inspired by old French linens and are beautifully fatigued to look like the vintage grain sack originals...
And, how about these adorable little franc plates?! Great for adding some French bistro flair to your entertaining...
I kept a stack of the blue striped napkins for myself and piled them in an old locker basket for display...
I will continue to add new items to the SHOP in the next few weeks...most of them inspired by my love of French Farmhouse style!
I have also put quite a few items on sale, to make room for the new items!!!
I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful weekend! Here's to a great start to your week...

Old friends are something to be treasured, Tracey! So pleased you returned refreshed and renewed.
Will be watching for new additions to your shop!
Hi Tracey, I am so glad to hear that you had a wonderful time with friends. It's certainly one of the best gifts that life has to offer us. Time with dear ones, whethter related or hand picked.
I hate missing your posts while being away doing 'things' and being 'someone'. The photo session with your beautiful children brought so much delight. I loved every sweet photo.
hugs
Waw Tracey! What a great time you had!!! I'm happy for you!!!
Fantastic new items for your shop! Love this kind of fabric and the plates are a beauty! I've never seen similar ones...I like them!!!
I'd like to try your sugar scrub recipe...my skin just need it!
A nice evening to you!

Karin
Glad you had a fun time in Denver! One day we will make it out that way, I hope! Love the new things for your shop.
I can't wait to receive my table runner!!!
Thank you Tracey!
I'll be shopping for another one soon!
Debbie@houseatthelake
xxxooo
I think sale is one of my very favorite words! I am running to check it out! Love it!
Kate
What great goodies! I am so glad you had a great time! I think Jeanne is wonderful too! See you soon! :)
Hi! Just recently found your blog. I think its interesting how american and european blogs/styles inspire each other and I feel there is a new globalized style envolving. Something like: french/skandinavien country meets american beach cottage. Really cool. Greetings from Norway!
Your home is so beautiful...it is the style I love, except mine has the coastal added. Hardwood floors change the entire feel of a home and I can't wait to have them someday. Carpet is hard to get the look I want. But I can wait...patience is a virtue. I just ordered the grey fresh water pearl rosary from your shop! My first order and I am thrilled to have found it. I have been looking for just the right rosary...and this one fits me perfectly. I would love to get the madonna with child if you ever get more of her...and of course the magazine. I've never had a copy of it yet...only seen it around blogland. ox~ Kerrie
Sounds like you had fun!
