Country Living Fair Rhinebeck, NY



We are just back from participating in the Rhinebeck New York Country Living Fair. The show was amazing and we met so many great people. These two photos were taken at the shop as we were packing up the Uhaul van.




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!!

Jeanne d'Arc Living



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 ...

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!
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!

Finally Back


 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 Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine. Each issue is more beautiful than the next! September just arrived and it is gorgeous!!

Jeanne d'Arc Living & Nosey Goose Event

  The first news: Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine June has arrived. It is absolutely beautiful!!

And next:
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 ...

Jeanne d'Arc Living Magazine




We are SO excited to have been selected to carry Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine. It is one of the most beautiful magazines available with gorgeous photos, great articles and recipes and NO advertisements. It is one of those magazines that you will look at again and again!

Despite 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 finds.

Atlanta Gift Mart



As we do every January and July, my mother and I spent four days shopping the Atlanta Gift Mart in search of fabulous new products to add to our shop and website. We had a very successful trip. I can't wait for every thing to start arriving!! I don't normally take pictures but this time I snapped a few in some of my favorite booths and showrooms. Enjoy!!

There is so much to see that it's impossible to do it all. But we walked and shopped for basically three days ( two half days and two full days) and did as much as we could. And like I said, we really found some great new merchandise.


These white distressed wire birdcages should be arriving soon ... they are great to fill with goodies every season!

These two pictures are a glimpse into the Bella Notte showroom. They have the most gorgeous bedding!!


LOVE HER!!!! And really wanted her but she was just for display.

Great hand painted wood signs

Thought this was a great display with the vintage lampshade frames. I actually have a few of my own that I embellished and made lights out of. They are headed to the shop soon.

I wish I had taken a few more pictures ... oh well, next time.

Thanks for visiting ...
