For folks who like the vintage Cottage/Victorian look...

[Thrift Shop Romantic]

I wanted to let you know I'm having a thrift-related giveaway on my blog beginning this week.

There are two wholly-thrifted gift baskets I'll be giving away as part of a drawing for those who guess most correct answers in two challenges-- "Which item was NOT $1 or less?" and "Which items came from a thrift store?"

For people who like cottage/shabby chic or romantic decor, you might want to give it a go.

Just have fun with it!

TSR, I checked it out, and I am a lost lamb when it comes to this look. But--all your stuff is gorgeous!  You have such an excellent eye! 

You really have a feeling for what you collect, and it shows.

Maybe I'll give it a shot, but I know I would be wayyyyyyyyyy off

It all looks rich and chic to me, like it all cost big bucks! 

What fun!!

Thanks, SeSo-- you're sweet.    I know the style isn't everyone's cup of tea-- so to speak-- but I'm out of MY league with mid-century modern. And I figured there may be some cottage/Victorian lurkers, anyway. :-)

Keeps things exciting!

Well, the tumbler is my beloved Imperial Grape -- and in a perfect world, you found it for under a buck!  At least that is one of my thrifting goals/fantasies...

Thriftily,

Ah, I'm not tellin' yet, Ms. A! :-) That would ruin all the fun.

All will be revealed on October 15.

It is a great pattern though, isn't it? I totally see why you love it!
