what's in the shop.. August '14

Hi girls, so since reopening my ebay store... Shabby French & Vintage  ( used to have one called The Shabby Boudoir many moons ago) I've been very busy trying to fill it up with lots of pretty and varied things... mostly things which i love and would be very happy to have in my own home. Even though sometimes i think this is my down fall as i find it very hard to purchase something that is not me .. then when I do buy something I totally love .. it's very hard to let it go.. and so it goes..
Anyhow here's a few things in store right now...






I just adore these french poodles!


and will also be listing a new (not new in design) cushion soon as well. I will have 2 of these identical.


Had a bit of a shopping spree last week and have plenty more new things to list.. and ofcourse there were a couple of things that were keepers for sure (especially one) but I'll show you what they were next time.. soon.
take care, Maryann

Give it a go.

Well I have been thinking about starting a blog for some time now, but never did because I thought who would want to read about my boring life! I love reading other peoples blogs (when I find the time, which is another reason I didn't start one... time!) and looking at the pretty pictures they post. But you know what happens when you have this nagging voice in your head about something, you finally end up doing it! I am not much of a computer whiz but I thought, give it a go anyway.
My life is pretty busy, between sewing, cleaning and gardening. I live on a 5 acre property in a cottage looking house and after 8 years there is still lots to be done. This year, finally, we will be adding on an extension to the front of the house consisting of a hallway with a front door..yep I didn't even have one, with a formal lounge on one side and main bedroom on the other. The hallway will go into the rest of the existing house. I am just waiting for plans to go through council so once we start I will post some pics. It will be pretty much a hands on job, but I am already an expert at painting walls, mixing cement and laying pavers!! I can't wait for it to be done, as I already have this massive crystal chandelier and beautiful ornate fire place surround just waiting to be on display.
Anyway, for those of you who might be interested, I will try to find the time to keep this blog up, but between 2 teenage kids, who just live on the computer and every day life, its not going to be easy. Take care! Maryann
