A Favorite!

Who out there in the blog world likes
IKEA?!
We'll, we sure do!!! In fact we were just there the other week...& this is one of our favorite set-ups in the store. Chic, eh? I love the black toile wall paper, the lite wood stained shelves and the red chest of drawers (not shown on the pic)...it gives it just the right POP!!!
Another one of my DREAMS!

Open the Door....

is what we hear most often as soon as the weather warms up...my mom likes to remind us of this when we are here....and she is right it is lovely to have it open on these warm spring, almost summer days!!!

Do you like to decorate with flags...do you have one outside your house perhaps on your front porch...I love flags, if I had a big old front porch I would hang one on it but I don't although my hubby and I have one hung on our garage...

anyway...i just love what they symbolize...our country....our freedoms...

this one is cute...it's a wooden one!

Our Newest Addition...too cute!!!

this is our newest addition to Cottonwood...Gloria has the cutest and I do mean cutest items in her little booth....

I would say she has more of a cottage, shabby-chic look...

this is her little entrance...i love the little curtain !!!

she has a ton of vintage jewelry all displayed so nicely in this fabulous black hutch!
Lot's of eye-candy!!!
