Collage of Summer Times & Thrift Store Finds at Maisonvogue

Picture
Daisy the Raccoon one of the family of Raccoon's who visit us at Maisonvogue each day, loves to play and bath in the little fountain on the back deck ...just outside the Kitchen Nook window ...a perfect place to sit and watch her 
Picture
Just one of the many plates that I have picked up at the Thrift store and just love

These flowers are just some of the flowers I have in my cutting garden 
That I just grow to cut and bring in the house to enjoy 
These are Cosmos and Zinnia Flowers all grown from seed ...they just thrive and go bonkers each year
They get so unruly that I have to put wire tomato cages around them so they can grow up them and not flop all over the place 
I love my cutting flowers 
Free bouquet's all Summer long

These are just two of the unique pillows I have for sale in my Etsy.com Shop this Summer ...they are of French Laundry Maids walking and sitting in a beautiful park in Paris ..lots of detail ..beautiful fabric on the backside of these pillows echoing the era ...high quality fabrics, overstuffed so that they will stand nicely when leaned up against something ..these are taken from an Old Master's Painting ...a tiny unique piece of artwork for your home decor ..place on table's, shelves, in the corner of a favorite arm chair ..all hand printed, hand sewn by myself with lots of love ...FREE unique gift wrapping and tags ..just $20 each

I named her Daisy and this year she has only shown up with one baby as she usually has several ...I have named the baby 'Blossom' ...Daisy and baby Blossom have a great time on the back deck in the flower pots and bathing in the little fountain ...too cute for words

I just love hand thrown pottery but it's so expensive ...I was super lucky to find this lovely dip 'n' chip bowl in a gorgeous blue at the Thrift store for only $1.99 ...in perfect 'new' condition ...I will treasure it always 
Picture
All of the above , except the fruit, were thrift store finds ...my treasured rose bud plates of which I have a set, you can see below, my precious, beautifully shaped bright red jug (pitcher) ..my metal bottomed basket which I just love to bits and says 'Mmmm!  Home Cooking' inside the outline of an apple pie ..then there is my olive oil bottle ..all of them just costing pennies and all 'as new'

Whilst out at the Farmer's Market this Summer called ' Pepper Place' we found this great bus as you can see they have made the roof inside higher by putting a VW Bus on the top ...it was amazing to look inside of it ..so roomy and light ...made us smile 
Picture
I was really lucky to find this lovely bed cover at my local Thrift Store ..it's just perfect for the Summer look in our Guest Bedroom ...really high quality, in perfect condition and I searched and found the great bed skirt that isn't a match for it but actually matches it perfectly ...as you can see I display some of my pillows on the bed ...I just love my guest room and wish I was a guest in it sometimes ...ha! ha! ..apart from the 4 poster bed and the some of the furniture it is mainly made up from thrift store finds

I haven't posted these wooden Princess / Bridal Tea signs in my Etsy.com shop this Summer but they are available if you wanted to purchase them ..just contact me through my Etsy.com shop ..link in column above or in 'comment's in this blog ...I made them from scratch and cut out the wooden teapot shape and decorated them by hand ..adding wood crowns, pearl beads, flowers, chandeliers on the backs etc ..you can hang them anywhere ...I hung mine above the buffet table at our Daughter's Bridal Shower ..I will personalize them as shown in the photo with your desired Name, Occasion, Date or mostly anything you may like

Another much loved Thrift Store find ...Not Bella the Cat just the 'Kindlin' box ..solid wood ..made beautifully from pine wood ...to keep your 'Kindlin' in it ....after my Husband did a minor repair ..he had to replace the back of it as it had a crack ...I cleaned up the beautifully hand painted snow scene and it came up perfect then I repainted the 'Kindlin' letters in black and revarnished the whole of it ..I use it not for 'Kindlin' but to keep all of my table setting decorations, napkins, etc for our Christmas time tables ..I bought it for only $4.99

The Squirrels love the Black Oiled Sunflower Seeds that I pile on the bench on the front garden

As you can see Daisy wanted to say ' HI' ....thanks for popping by
