Greetings! My sisters and I had a great time on Cape Cod. We kicked off our little getaway by attending a literary luncheon followed by lots of shopping and lots of clam chowder! But my favorite part of our trip was going to the shop Vintage Lizzie and meeting my blogging friend, Lizzie!
I had been to Vintage Lizzie once last summer before I started blogging. Fabric goddess and adorable sweetie Lizzie has a beautiful blog that I follow and so this time visiting her shop and re-meeting her was a must! I packed a couple of personalized cottage clips in my bag to give to Lizzie and was floored when she handed me a large, heavy shopping tote!
Now this is wonderful packaging! A white tote with a b e a u t i f u l label affixed, tied with a long piece of floral fabric. GASP!
Inside the large bag was this lovely box–a gift on its own! "Open it later," said Lizzie and so I waited until that night when my sisters and I returned to our room, to slowly savor the fun of opening a beautiful package.
GASP! SWOON! GULP! and repeat!
Completely dreamy! Sweetly wrapped fabrics with floral prints, vintage seam binding, millinery flowers, a pin cushion with heart-shaped pins ...
cards by Jo-Ann Coletti, a bisque mermaid (SWOON), a strawberry sachet, and more!
SWOON!
Here are some photos I took around Lizzie's shop ...
Lizzie's online shop(s) feature beautiful things like these ruffled napkins. Ooh la la!
I hope you will visit Lizzie's blog and online shops and if you're ever taking a trip to Cape Cod, her shop will make your visit cottage-complete. Thank you SO VERY MUCH Lizzie! You are as inspiring and sweet as you are generous.
{Believe it or not, I had a box waiting for me when I got home from a "chintzy" pal of mine from the O.C. Stay tuned!}
Thank you so much for all of the Where Bloggers Create comments. I am still catching up and hope to visit everyone soon!
I love blogging!

You can just pack that up and send it to me. It would fit perfectly in Migg G4s shabby chic bedroom.
I am starting a NEW Mr. Linky party. It will begin on Aug 10th so everyone will have a week and a half to think about their first post. I have a poll up for votes on which button should be the new button. The "party" is called The Knock Off Knock Out-where THRIFTY meets creative sensation. Go over and learn more about the new weekly event and I would appreciate if you would cast your vote and HELP pick the new button design and its the last week for the July GIVE-A-Way, if you would like to be a part of that event..

I love the mermaid! Not to mention all the vintage floral goodies in that box! What was on top of the box was fabulous too! I love the pin cushions sooooo much! I hope she sells some of this in her shop!
Thanks for coming over to visit me yesterday. I love hearing from you. Are you going to post pictures of the cape? Did you have time to take any? When I was in Maine last year I did not go to the cape but loved the other beaches so much. I would love to relive that.
I am leaving for vacation tomorrow so I won't be around for a week or so. See ya when I get back!

Hey - just got your note. Thanks for understanding that Mommies need time too - and for not saying something instead about parenting that makes me feel guilty! :) I do believe that a happy Mom is a good Mom! :)
Hi Elyse, I'm back again! This time to say thanks for the nice comment you left on my blog
You had asked about how I first fell for tatting. I wrote about what I thought of a tatting as a very young child in this post and in this Mother's Day Post I wrote about how I learned!
Thanks for asking! :)
(((HUGS)))!!!
Gorgeous treasures Eylse! Lizzie's store is fabulous too!!
A gift from the OC? I just love M :)

How wonderful that you have gotten to meet Lizzie. I had lunch to meet 3 fellow bloggers for the first time yesterday myself. This getaway to Cape Cod sounds like so much fun--just rambling around and doing what you want to do! I always admire people who can make the outside of a gift as exciting as the inside--Lizzie fills the bill!
Are you ever fortunate to be near her store. That woman is really something else. I can't say enough kind words to describe her sweet beautiful things she presents with her incredible style! I have found her thru Ebay some years ago. I'm very happy she has a blog too! What a lovely gift and the wrapping was so nicely done. I bet it had you anxious to see what was inside.. very nice things.... how exciting!
Have a Wonderful Day-
Wonderful gift. I love them all
Happy PS and have a great weekend

what a beautiful package, just gorgeous, sounds like a wonderful trip, I am going to visit her website now, thanks
Cold, dark, raining all week. Summer is not going to make it to northern Michigan this year. We haven't seen many days over 70! WOWZA! So, with that in mind, Pink Saturday is especially important for me. I sit back and cruise around the blogs filling myself to the brim with my favorite color.
I'm swooning in all of that pink☺
♥Thanks so much for adding a bit of sunshine to my day♥

I am off to explore it some more, thankyou and Happy Pink Saturday, Char
