Enchanted By Design::

     The rain couldn't keep me away from discovering a new shop in my area today. On the property sits a courtyard with a unique gazebo. Enchanted by it's architecture and design, I had to see it for myself. This glass enclosed gazebo is an import from China in the most perfect shade of green. A real gem and delight.
      Filled with unique birdcages, garden accessories, table sets, settees, urns and much more..
    A big thank you to Vicki Jackson for the warm welcome. Proprietress of Aphrodite's Antiques and gift shop. I would like to personally welcome you to the neighborhood. By the way, I could sit in the gazebo for hours :)  For more information visit:

 I hope you enjoyed the tour of the Chinese gazebo. Find that one place that inspires you to be enchanted by it's architecture and design. Enjoy your weekend :)

Vintage Pillowcase Bag::

    Last summer, while visiting my Mom in Florida. Mom and I worked on this craft project together. We made this market bag out of a vintage pillowcase. A very inexpensive project straight from my Grandma's linen closet. Our inspiration came from Simply Sublime Gifts by: Jodi Kahn.


   Perfect for the market, pool or knitting/crochet. I also like that it's machine washable and easy to care for.

   Here' the link to her blog for great craft projects to do on those rainy days ;)
