<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We were fortunate to have an end booth so we were able to set up outside as well as inside. I brought a duplicate of our signature pink bike that sits in front of the shop. It was one of the first things to sell!! If you live in the area and did not go to the show it's a must for next year!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I hope everyone is enjoying these first few days of Spring. Here in Connecticut it still feels like Winter (a few flakes were flying around today and it's still chilly) but I have faith that warm weather is right around the corner. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Just a quick note to let everyone know we have lots & lots of new merchandise arriving daily at our shop: The Nosey Goose, in Madison, CT. I have also been listing some of the new goodies on my site. We have a few copies of Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine February and March left with April on the way. If you haven't seen the magazine yet, it's a must!! It is so gorgeous and filled with beautiful photos, ideas and recipes! Have a great week and thanks for visiting!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It's been a month and I'm back again. Life has been busy with both family and work. My mother (and business partner) and I attended both the Atlanta Gift mart and the New York gift show searching for great new products to add to our shop. We had a ton of success and it's been fun as the new merchandise slowly arrives. We are in Connecticut and we got buried in snow last weekend ... 34 inches ... which is more than this area is equipped to handle. Our shop in town has been closed for a few days but hopefully soon things will be back to normal and back to work. I've added a few new things to our website along with the February issue of Jeanne d' Arc Living magazine. Stop by if you have a minute. Thanks for visiting ... </span><br />

Every year my New Year's resolution (or one of them) is to be much better about keeping up with my blog and each year I let it slide. So here we go again ... let's see if this year will be different!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The new Jeanne d'Arc Living for 2013 has arrived. If you have never seen this publication, it is absolutely gorgeous! It is from Denmark and the photographs are just beautiful. Every issue inspires me! </div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"> I don't know about you but I want to know ... Where did the Summer
go??!! As each year passes I feel like time goes by that much faster.
Maybe because my kids are bigger and busier? Who knows. Anyway ...
I'm finally back to work and back to my blog. I have been busy creating
new pillows and listing new items both new and vintage repurposed. My
mother and I shopped a few trade shows and things are starting to
arrive. We are also thrilled to be carrying the <a href="http://www.cottageflair.com/catalog.htm?category=202">Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine</a>. Each issue is more beautiful than the next! September just
arrived and it is gorgeous!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: large;">We hosted our annual Home & Garden sale at our shop in Madison, CT this weekend. It is always a fun event ... we decorate the lawn and porch of the shop with vintage and antique items, geraniums, herbs, etc. We had a gorgeous day on Friday, Saturday was a volatile weather day, Sunday was lovely and the whole event was a success. I thought I'd share a few photos ... </span></div>

the not so great weather last week we were able to spend a day at
Brimfield. For anyone who is not familiar with Brimfield, it is one of
the biggest antique shows around. It is so much fun to shop and we came
home with a nice mix of goodies along with repurposing some of our

<br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-size:130%;">This Summer has been so crazy for us as I'm sure it's been for many of you. Time sure flies!! We just got back from our vacation ... we camped for five days 6 miles outside of Hershey, PA. The kids had a ball one day at Hershey Park and then we dragged them for a bit of history to Gettysburg and Amish country. We all enjoyed different parts of the trip but I have to admit, my favorite part was spending a bit of time in two amazing group shops right near the campground. I had a ball and so wished I had more time in them but, we were two families trying to get everything in that everyone wanted to do. I think I did well for the time I was there ... Stop by and check out some of the vintage pieces I came home with (and I still have more to list!). Some fun new merchandise we ordered in Atlanta has also arrived ...

There are no shopping bags to find or riddles to solve. This year, many of our Boutique owners will be offering a beautiful product at a deeply discounted price. Each day of our Christmas in July event, one boutique will offer a special, first come- first served, specially priced item! The discounts will be 50% below retail or less! If you find an item on this list that excites you, stayed tuned to see which day it will be available at the deeply discounted price. </div> <div> </div> You'll need to be on your toes to get the discount! There will only be 1 (one) Boutique, and one special each day!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:180%;" >Cottage Flair day is July 13th at 6:00</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Here is what we will be offering: <a href="http://www.cottageflair.com/catalog.htm?category=88">Christmas in July item</a><br /></span></div>Cottage Flairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18312415988985458431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560333128874975797.post-57972124674841825872011-07-03T14:07:00.000-07:002011-07-03T14:26:23.822-07:00Porch Addition Finished!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmCN49wjTBJ7IrDafUw9FBVn4AU0svlQ3hh7bpk2Huy1bOxvkSepbHIejFWNPRQ4a-0syhnL_L9R__CXjOoZZ7P61bQugjPeSNGT0Nj4HvqCC4-nz6T6bdasuuD8c5eV3GPpjszbPRhV0/s1600/003.JPG"><br /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrCKmno8xc6JS7qu1fXRIOnGr7NQBaAT7cBRcYQI2pquHHJ4HupXKCpGGGek9sLvNNtzasiui-CIMdDy3RQVRCZSWql6mCQcaQjPmQKlujSsGiOZ1b6FQWR4P-N-lDkeYFjcxKwSicdHQ/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrCKmno8xc6JS7qu1fXRIOnGr7NQBaAT7cBRcYQI2pquHHJ4HupXKCpGGGek9sLvNNtzasiui-CIMdDy3RQVRCZSWql6mCQcaQjPmQKlujSsGiOZ1b6FQWR4P-N-lDkeYFjcxKwSicdHQ/s320/001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625237336720685282" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:courier new;">So ... here it is.
