Please Visit My New Shoppe

I have a new shoppe that specializes in (suprize) vintage,shabby,chippy & romantic finds! As of now,we have everything from architectural salve to industrial.

It's hosted by PAPPASHOP. I'm still trying to figure everything out about setting the site up. Until I decide if I can buy a web design,I have to do what I can by myself. This is much more complicated that I thought!

I've saw lots of really pretty shops that are hosted by PAPPASHOP,but I just can't seem to get going. **IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS ADVICE,TIPS,ETC.,I'D LOVE,LOVE,LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!

Enough complaining. This post is to invite everyone to visit my new shoppe...
The Shabby Boutique.

If you find anything you'd like to buy,just use the "contact" area & mention "blog". I'll refund 20% of your total purchase (not inc. s/h).

It's been awhile since I've I've posted anything or even read the blogs that I love,so I'm gonna check up on those now.

I hope everyone had a beautiful Mother's Day!

XoXo,
Suzanne

HELP ID THIS FABRIC and WIN A GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR MY ETSY SHOP

While shopping for vintage treasure in TN,I found this huge pair of vintage curtains. They're lined and are quite heavy. They have a nubby feel to them. In the selvedge,it says "VAT PRINTS",along w/ a little more that I can make out.

I'm "thinking" that they're bark cloth,but I want to be sure. SO...I'm having a contest!! The 1st person that can ID this fabric will receive a $20 gift certificate for my ETSY shop. The certificate is valid for 6 months,so you could use it while Christmas shopping (or buy a gift for yourself~you deserve it!). If holiday shopping,we offer gift wrapping,we'll ship to the giftee w/ a gift tag to let them know it's from you and much more! If you see something in my shop that you want to lay-away,you can use the gift certificate for that,too.

I really want to give this gift certificate away! I hope to hear from you guys soon.

Best wishes & best of luck,

B.Suzanne

P.S.~ If you love vintage fabric,I have some adorable feed sack fabric w/ gorgeous patterns and in really nice condition & LOTS of damask napkins,hand towels and more that I'll be adding to my shop soon!!

Back to Me

Finally,after about 6 months,I'm starting to blog again. Have you ever lost yourself to the point that you can barely remember what your favorite things in life are,what your interests are,etc.? It's gonna take some time to get back to "me". I'm both excited & scared about it.

I've moved back to my home town in WV. It's so much better being close to my family & friends. It helps to be near the town that I grew up in. I still have my English Bulldog,Matilda. It's amazing how animals seem to have their own personality. She really has helped me so much.

Now I've got to get my home organized (that's gonna take some time), work on my ETSY shop, maybe sign up on a few other sites & try to get involved in a swap or 2.

Wish me luck!
