Thank you!... thank you very much.

As "the king" used to say...

This post is long overdue.

Do you ever have weeks that just fly by

and you don't know where it all went?

That's the way these last couple of weeks have been.

 I want to thank three lovely ladies

 for a couple of great giveaways,

and another for a sweet surprise!

Beth from Old Tyme Market Place had this

nifty and "oh so cool" tape measurer

from Pottery Barn

as her give away a few weeks ago.

Wow, do I love this handy little gadget.

So classy.

You have to go by Beth's

and check out her latest post,

oh my gosh! you will love all her shop photos!

(wait, not yet!)

Then another lovely Beth

from Beth Gales Designs

had a giveaway of these gorgeous earrings

from her wonderful jewelry website.

Guess what?

They now reside on these little lobes!

Thank you Beth!

And if you haven't visited Julie, from Junkin'Julie,

then you need to go by and say Hi.

She and I have the "white ironstone gene"!

I recently purchased a couple of gorgeous

 rosary and crucifixes

from her and look what she did!

She blessed me with the most amazing

little English creamer!

(plus some vintage goodies and photos)

It has a special place on my counter in the kitchen.

I adore it!

Thank you, sweet Julie!

Life has been really busy this last couple of weeks.

I've missed checkin' in with you all!

I have some fun news coming in the next few days!

(can't tell yet. I know, I'm so mean!)

and I've attended some really wonderful Barn sales,

so I have bunches of wonderful things to show you.

AND, I'm on a mission to lighten up my world,

so...

stay tuned!

Hope you're off to a great week!

love,

Debra

Cottage Teapot Love

A few weeks ago I shared my vintage

 English Cottage Prints.

Well, my love of "cottage" doesn't stop there.

I have a little collection of Cottage teapots,

 sugars and creamers,

candle holders and cookie jars,

that I've been collecting for about 20 years.

Some are vintage and some are newer.

Most of them are on my baker's rack in my

Cottage Garden sunroom.

The vintage ones are all made

in Japan before World War II.

The newer ones are imports,

but I just love their look.

I'm linking with

"Show and Tell Friday"

 at My Romantic Home

Favorite Things Friday

And "My Favorite Things" with

Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Love,

Debra

More from the Seed Box Country House

Today I get to show the interior of

 Meloney and Brian's gorgeous country house.

I literally couldn't leave a photo out.

Each one is filled with vintage inspiration.

No words needed, enjoy the tour.

I'm saving one more post to show the exterior,

 wrap around porch, and Master Bath suite.

I don't want to leave anything out.

For more inspiration be sure to scroll down

to see the first two posts on the

grand opening of the Seed Box Garden House.

Thank you Meloney and Brian!

Today I'm linking with our favorite hostess,

 Kathleen, from Faded Charm
