Sachets & Sofas & Santas, Oh My!

Sachets & Sofas & Santas, Oh My!


I have been a bit slow posting as of late, but I've had the fun task of re-decorating our family room! Finally got all the Christmas decorations packed away, & started on the search again for the PERFECT sofa & wing chair. This has been on going for the past year & a half at least........I'm so happy with the end results. Of course, I had to have new valances & pillows, but basically everything else was something that I already had. Just moved things from other rooms ~ "shopped" my own home, which made DH happy! Kind of like one of those entire room makeovers for under $500!! I'll be adding more pics soon, just wanted to give you a quick preview today.


My precious friend & PRH sister, Bertie of Aunt May's Cottage gifted me with some wonderful goodies for my birthday last month & I wanted to share those with you, too. She makes the most beautiful sachets & they are every bit as yummy smelling as they look!! Perfect eye candy!! Full of sequined medallions & dripping with pearls! Run to her website & get one for yourself or for a perfect Valentine's Day gift!
She knows how much I adore Laura Ashley's Isabelle Rose fabric, so L@@K what else she made for me!!!!!!! My very own custom made PINK SANTA!!!! He is all mine (I know this because of his adorable tushy tag that says so!!). He is so gorgeous that I will leave him out year round. He matches the fabric that we lined our armoire with beautifully!!


Plenty of bling & sparkles in all the right places to make me, the BLING QUEEN, blissfully happy!!! Much love & kisses to you, dear Bertie!!!


Till next time......


Big Hugs,
Stephanie

Steph, How sweet of you to mention my little gifts. You are so welcome and deserving. You put the "bling" in so many lives and we are all blessed to know you.

Love your room! The beautiful sofa and chair are just so YOU. Perfect in every way.

Truly a masterpiece. When is Romantic Country Magazine coming for the shoot?

Wiw! That is the prettiest Santa I've ever seen! What a nice friend.

I also like your armoire...and it is rigged for electricity throughout. Neat!

Hi Steph, your room looks wonderful. I especially love that glass topped table. And isn't Bertie clever, the pink Santa is adorable. I would be leaving him out too. Too pretty to put away.
Hugs, Coll :-}
