My dear blog has been sadly neglected and I haven't listed anything on ebay since November. On the plus side, I haven't bought anything either!
One of my fave magazines of all time is "Romantic Country." It is extremely difficult to get a copy of this in Australia but I hear it is freely available in the US. Fifi from Chez Fifi sent me a copy which I am so happy and grateful for - it is a fantastic issue!
This gorgeous house featured in the mag is all done in pinks and greens, my favourite two colours. I wonder if the owner, Elizabeth, has a blog? I noticed she has a rhinestone clock collection in one picture. I have always wanted to start a collection of these but they are very pricey!
This house had hand painted roses on everything. The above is a wooden curtain pelmet. Below is their fabulous bathroom with roses painted on the cabinets.
A lot of us like using the wooden wall words in our homes. These have a touch of bling!
I came across this book on Amazon recently. Isn't the cover divine? Am coveting a copy.
As you know I love Romantic Country magazine too Petah! And Fifi did a fabulous job! I have not heard of Dime Store Decorating! I will definitely have to check that one out! Thanks for letting us know about it! So glad to see you posting!!

Hi Peta,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you back again! Looks like the issue of Romantic Country is packed with heaps of ideas, I am going to try & get a copy of 'Dime Store Decotating', it looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing it with us.
