Why I {Heart} Blogging

You meet the nicest people in blogland, and when you get the chance to meet them in person, it seems, well, sort of extraordinarily special. This weekend I had the chance to go to the Old School Market in Abbotsford where I met some of my online friends. Tracey from RaggyGirlVintage also has an Etsy shop and made me a fabulous pillow, which was wrapped up in ribbon and an extra special gift of a lavender bag and a hand stamped clothes peg. I think it looks great where I left it for my photo shoot. If you click on her blog name there will be some photos of the sale. I did not take any because of the sea of people there, all you would of seen were the backs of many heads.


I also got a hug from Colleen at Vintage Home
...and appearantly just missed Janis my friend from Rust and Ruffles for the second time this week by seconds.

It has been a whirlwind kind of week.

White Wednesday #100

Today we celebrated one of my friends birthdays by taking her out for lunch. We tried a new place called SerendipiTea in Abbotsford. The decor is right up my ally, so I snapped a few photos to show you all for White Wednesday, since White Wednesday is also celebrating a special birthday. (BTW my friend is NOT 100!)
Lots of White everywhere. The food was delicious.

Simply Elegant.

China and Tea cups.

Leaded glass doors.

Make sure you visit Faded Charm.

Advent Tags 13, 14 & 15

Yes, here I am, still working on my Christmas project. BUT I WILL BE DONE ON TIME!

I am currently working on tags number 18 & 19. Almost there! (Maybe I should decorate the tree next - lol) Not really.
These 3 tags have been my favorites so far. I really liked how they turned out.


I have to get them done soon, when the weather warms up, it will be time to garden again. And I have a big surprise (a new deck!) to show you all.
Happy White Wednesday!
