A Girl's Gotta Shop!

Over the summer I had a wonderful day of shopping and wine tasting with sweet Amber of Black Rooster Cottage

I visited her booth at Granny's Attic and we hit 
Ponte Winery for a fabulous lunch and
 of course wine tasting.

Here's a peek at her treasures and the gorgeous winery.

  Amber mixes her love of old farmhouses with repurposed items and sprinkles in a bit of french influence to create a dreamy and functional look.

 Isn't this just plain pretty!

Gasp! 

One of her many signature chandeliers!  

This is our dear friend Sylvia of Paris Cowgirl's booth.

 I love Sylvia's style, its romantic, sexy feminine and down to earth! 
I really need a horse!

Girls just wanna have fun!

Granny's Attic is located at
 28450 Felix Valley, Temecula CA 92590

What did you do over the summer?

I went downtown!

Here's a few pictures of the fabric district in downtown L.A.

I love the architecture of these old buildings

Are you wondering whats with the collage thing I seem to be on?

I dont know...I gues Im just wanting to try something new!

Happy weekend to all of you!

Chateau de Fleurs was Fabulous!

 What an amazing event.....

 First a mini tour of Christie's studio. I will let her gorgeous work speak for itself......

 Dreamy!

 A few of the many treasures in Rita's booth.

 One of her signature pieces; the dress form with a giant crinoline skirt.

 I adore this piece.

 Sweet Magnolias Farm is the sweetest!

 I should have bought the pink tree, I'm kicking myself.

Or the white. Absolutely heavenly!

This is part one. I will post part two soon!

A "mini reveal"

Here's why I was so secretly painting....

2 Girls and....

....a blank slate!

Ive taken a space at the Brick Basement in downtown Fullerton.

My good friend Candy works her magic adding festive fall touches to the displays.

She's a very talented artist. You wont believe the things she makes. I hope to have pictures of her work to share with you soon. 

Here is the hutch after a few coats of creamy white paint.

Gorgeous Fall & Harvest plates. Have I told you how much I love dishes?

I cant get enough of them!

A spooky vignette. Beware!

Mr. Jack O'Lantern is ready for Trick or Treaters.

I love the colors of Fall. The weather turned surprisingly cool today,

 it feels like pumpkin pie baking time!

Tea time anyone?

I will show you more soon.
