WHITE WEDNESDAY

Once again, it's WHITE WEDNESDAY... Kathleen at FADED CHARM is the brainchild behind this once~a~week~white~fest and I love being a part of it. There's just one thing you see... I am tapped out. There I said it. I am scrounging for new WHITES around the land of Sweet Pea. I don't have the Christmas spirit yet so can't help you there. I have new and fabulous plans for the garden cottage but that is a ways off as I have three shows on the horizon~~in fact the first starts Friday (see sidebar). This is a good thing as it is forcing me to stretch my imagination a bit, but I admit I am struggling. I had two snotty~nosed toddlers sneezing in my face all day to boot so I am trying to kill the germs with merlot as I type.

Anyway, this week I am cheating. I am going to another source for the WHITE fix we all crave... None other than ELIZABETH HOUSE... As a shop owner, I used to pour over her early posts and I am positive she is one of the inspirations for my starting a blog of my own. I hope she doesn't mind that I am showing some random photos of hers~~I give all credit to her and her enormous talent behind the lens. It was a highlight of the Spring 2009 blogger party to meet her in person. If you are reading this Elizabeth~~love love your style...




A photo from the loo in her apartment...


Could you die over this photo from her shop?


Taken by Elizabeth while at a flea market.


Do you remember the craze she started with these paper walls in her shop?

Happy WHITE WEDNESDAY!!

    Congrats on the Cover of Porch! I can't believe we are in such royal company of so many of the talented antique dealers I have found thru blogland and have admired these past months. Our booth from the Funky Junk Sisters show is featured on pg72 wow!

    I just read her NYC adventure post...her latest. It was a long one but so worth reading. I just re-found her blog. I was addicted to her blog for a time too. Love the way she writes about everything in her life...so honest..it's fabulous.
    We all go thru times of no inspiration....I did too until a couple of weeks ago!
    Good luck a the show!

    Hi, Sweet Pea!
    Love Elizabeth ... and ever so much more picturesque than a pile of used kleenexes, which you are probably seeing a lot with the kiddos, lol!
    Hugs!
