So.....i'm sharing a few things i purchased this week-end....
this chippy-white, solid metal candlestick($3.00 at S.A.)


...and this gorgeous French Pillow from Home Goods. Oooh La La!


And here are just a few shots from around the house.....




Playing with new stamps....

How did YOU spend your week-end??

Avec Amour,

    I'm intrigued by the project in the works! I can't wait for my Etsy purchase to arrive. Oh, and love those new stamps. I think I see a rooster in there! Had family over all day yesterday and made homemade pizza. So much fun. Headed out on a nature walk today then time in the studio...can't wait.

    Your finds are fantastic and your treasures around the house are always beautiful. Love those stamped tags;-) This week was mostly spent creating jewelry.

    Hey Michelle...we now have matching pillows!! Isn't it amazing and huge? I love mine too and I love Home Goods!!!! Can't wait to see your finished project. (I could boot myself for NOT purchasing some french script lamps last time I was at HG!)
    Happy Sunday!

    I love your finds and the pics of a few bits from around your house are beautiful! I just bought myself a sewing machine at Joanne's for $60, the cheapest one there. I have never used a sewing machine so I thought I'd start with one that is cheap and simple just in case it doesn't go well:) Wish me luck!

    I'm loving your new stamps! And I can't believe you scored that fabulous pillow at HomeGoods! With only one HomeGoods here on the Cape, things there go pretty quickly, much to my dismay. Your new project is looking lovely -- can't wait to see what it is you are making!

    Lovely finds and I love what you are doing with your stamps!
    I spent my weekend off making a ripped edge crazy quilted heart - a new idea I wanted to try for a blog swap I joined. It was fun to try something new!

    Home Goods...gotta love it and lucky you on scoring that awesome pillow. I spent the weekend shopping for material and recovering my dining room chairs.
