Give Away with Nancy

If you've read Nancy's Daily Dish for long, you know she's not just about Transferware. Nancy decorates in a French Country and English Country mix that I really adore. The kitchen truly is the heart of Nancy's home.

She's a wonderful cook, 

and oftentimes her family are her endearing assistants.

She has everything "transferware" that I love, 

and knows how to style it!

Two of my favorite posts have been Garden related themes in tablescapes

She knows how to use wonderful vintage elements

to create a one of a kind tablescape.

And Nancy know's how to transform a home into a beautiful and comfortable retreat. She's not afraid of using pattern and color to create her own individual style. Below is her wonderful sitting area of the Master Bedroom.

Nancy's Etsy Shop is filled to overflowing 

with every type of transferware imaginable!

Go take a peek, then come back to tell me what you'd love to have.

Fall Changes in the Dining Room

A couple of weeks ago

I shared my inspiration French ticking

and the fabric I found to make a table runner.

Well, I finished the tablerunner and made two accent pillows,

and I'm really lovin' the change!

I arranged my French iron basket on the table

with some wonderful sunflowers

and now I'm on my way for Fall.

Oh yeah, my absolute favorite time of the year!

and just a peek of one of my favorite old prints,

The Gleaners

 on the wall in the background.

Here's one of my decorating assistants.

She's such a huge help,
