Take a peek at my new goodies...and a giveaway!



Hi everyone. Hope your week is going well. Mines been pretty good, its actually been a nice balance of work, various commitments that are to be expected for the end of the year and a little quality time spent with a few friends. This weekend we have a tournament for my son, yep...that makes summer official! Anywho, though I am not planning on getting new lines of things to carry until the end of summer/early fall I did meet up with a potential vendor whose things I really really love (and will carry the line towards end of summer/early fall)  and was able to snag some amazing pieces, many of which I know you will love. Since I have zero willpower, naturally I am adding these right away, they are too gorgeous to keep under wraps!

 I for the most part only have one of each but got a few more in a few cases. Was so excited to share them with you and the prices are amazing with a capital A. By the time you read this they will be listed in my online ship under "New Arrivals" (or by Friday) and it will be first come first serve. I LOVE each and every one of these,  always a big problem so that's why it was a moral obligation to keep virtually one of everything for myself...take a look. What do you think? 

So here we go......(bear in mind I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as too many trays or beautiful silver or beautiful decorative objects for that matter)!








And the specifics....
Gorgeous detailing on this tray perfect for a vanity or bar 21x9



How about this very oversized (approx. 26") oval chinoiserie tray? Yes I kept one for myself :)





As I did for this stunning wood French tray.....love it! Distressed to look old, its fabulous!



And this stunner of a tray, another oversized beauty, perfect for display, serving, it measures about 24" across....so elegant!





I used to have this but sold out and just have this one piece, this is so beautiful, very long 24" by 9", perfect for a bar, serving, vanity or bathroom to put all your pretties on!

Love the scallop detailing

And this chic little bar tray, distressed to look old...its a stunner with French writing, ideal for serving drinks, dessert or keeping on a bar! 12x17



And this fabulous dish (yes kept one for myself of this one yet again) measures about 14 x9, perfect for display or for serving, doesn't get more elegant than this!



And I have always LOVED covered trays/meat dishes, this one is about 14" round with the most exquisite covered dome, talk about creating instant elegance!!




And this gorgeous blue and white piece, have 3 of them (after the one I kept for yours truly) Love the scalloping....a perfect topper for any vignette!



And this beautiful black and gold oversized tole planter (about 15" sqaure) Wish they had more!



Another stunner, a different style of the French tray....how gorgeous is this for a bar or a European influenced kitchen. And yes if you are wondering if I kept for myself....what do you think? 





What is it about all things French? Love love love them! Anyway, thanks for stopping in. I am offering 2 lucky winners each a frame of their choice from my online store. A perfect way to treasure a special photograph. All you need to do to enter is go to my store, set your heart on something pretty and come back here and tell me a favorite item! That's it. I will be back on Saturday to announce 2 lucky winners. Anonymous and people who use their first name, need a first name and last name initial. Be sure to check back Sat. to see if you won. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day.

  1. Tina, glad you are having a good week so far. I love your new goodies. The trays are gorgeous. And I am slightly obsessed with the blue and white piece. Hmmm... sounds like I should move fast if there are only three!! XO

  2. PS: And I think my favorite piece in the store has to be the AP35 Ginger Jar - think it would be perfect perched on our bathtub deck. Or perhaps the A13 planter instead - filled with orchids would be beautiful! You can never have too much blue and white, right!

  3. Tina,

    I am happy to hear that your week is a mixture of work and play, that is the way an ideal week should be.

    I love all of your new treasures! I have to tell you that you are "killing" me! I am having a clear out this week, my stuff is weighing me down and I am trying to pare down. Each time I come to visit here I see something that I want...too tempting!

    I hope Teddy is great!

    Thank you for your kind comments yesterday! I hope you have a great week.

  11. Love your new items. Can't wait to see the new things you will bring in. I just placed two orchids and a lacey blue hydrangea in your SW05 and it looks divine. I really need to take a photo for you but I'm not as talented a photographer as you are.

    If I had to pick just one item, I would choose the SW08. I also loooove your new blues and whites and the new statuary. All to die for. Fingers crossed on your giveaway.

  18. And I thought I was busy... Look at you! LOVE, love that chinoiserie tray! It looks more light blue in one picture though. Are they the same or 2 different colors?

    I continue to be a big fan of your bell jars.

    Need to remember to add my own picture to your customer pictures... Love my trophy.

  21. Love the round tray and covered meat dish. The planter looks great too.

  22. I am loving the distressed silver - it takes something formal and makes it accessible so it can be "dressed" up or down if that makes sense. My fave is the chinoiserie tray though!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I love that you aren't making everyone wait for the new goodies, I can see why you shared them with us right away. They are all lovely, that chinoiserie tray is just beautiful, and your new tole planter is very elegant. (It all is!)

  31. Oh Tina, if my husband didn't threaten what we call "the D word" if I buy ONE MORE accessory, I'd be personally all over these, especially the covered solver pieces. Kind of kidding, but really kind of not :)

  81. Doc Obodo @ templeofanswer@hotmail.co.uk surpass all other spellcasters, believe me!November 8, 2013 at 2:29 AM



    I had doubts about magic spells after purchasing many spells that never worked and actually decided to never buy a spell again. I have tried different casters.. Some of them never answered me after I paid and were obvious scammers, some really cast a spell but for some reason it didnt work. Then I saw a video on youtube with a person who was mentioning she had results with Doc Obodo. Despite the suspicions I had her site looked real so I gave spells a last try. It's probably the best decision I ever made in my life because it worked and my girlfriend came back with me. If you're looking for a good spellcaster look no further,Doc Obodo @ templeofanswer@hotmail.co.uk or call +2348155425481. surpass all other spellcasters, believe me!

  82. This is a testimony that I will tell to every one that wants to hear.i have been married for 8years with no issue of a child, there was no sign of pregnancy at all, i went to several places looking for answers but non could help, my husband gave up on me, i also gave up on myself, i concluded I was born to be barren, i cried all nights and day, mostly when I see other woman around me carrying and playing with their babies, this made me really down, all I needed was a baby to call my own, either a boy or girl, but all my effort was fruitless, till one faithful day, that day I will never in my life, i came across a lady who saw the tears in my eyes and the pain in my heart, she came to me, explain her own issue and how everything worked out, she was even carrying a baby, the smiles on the baby's face made me cry that moment becaus...e I wished the baby was mine, she consoled me and said I will cry no more, she gave me the contact of one Dr obodo for help, i took the contact but in my heart I said what could this one do, for christ sake I have met so many people, to cut my story short, few days later I contacted Dr obodo, did what I was told to do at the end all he said was your problems are over my dear, just like that, i responded to him, how he did it I don't know, just two months after our conversation I couldn't see my period as before, i couldn't believe myself, i waited till the next month it was same thing, i went for check up, to my greatest surprise the result came out positive, i was confirm pregnant..that was the beginning of happiness, am carrying my baby now and no day I don't get that beautiful smile from him, it was once a dream now it a reality so much thanks to you Dr obodo , i promised myself to let other woman out there who are going through all what I went through to be able to reach him and get their own miracle babies, You can reach him on his email: templeofanswer@hotmail.co.uk....your dream can be a reality too....
