Sissie of Sissie's Shabby Cottage in celebration of her reaching 500+ followers!

Hold onto your hats, girls ~ she let me pick ANYTHING that she had in her terrific etsy shoppe HERE ~ and of course, I chose her Sissieliciously PINK Ruffled Pillow!!!

Just look at it ~ could you blame me?!?!?!

It came wrapped so beautifully in a huge box with lots of pretty tissue paper and ribbons and the sweetest Eiffel Tower notecard!

Look at the OODLES and OODLES of PINK Ruffles!

Bling here and there in the lovely raggedy rose centers!!

It is every bit as pretty on the backside, too!

Just perfect on the bench at the foot of our bed!!  :0)

Thank you, Sissie!

Sissie really knows how to do things up right, as you can certainly tell if you have ever visited her beautiful blog!

 ~ Sissie ~

This is the phenomena that is....SISSIE!  She lives in NC and is having the time of her life right now, whether it be decorating her own home or out scavenging for beauties for her booth space. When she isn't busy re-decorating or rubbing decals on pretties, she can be found sewing GORGEOUS and I do mean GORGEOUS items for her esty shoppe, Sissycakes. Burlap, ruffles and roses are passions of hers, and she does them so well. I asked her a bit about herself and she told me that she started sewing when she was a young girl of about 12. Fast forward thru some years of outside work in the business world and raising her son. She started back up again a couple of years ago and credits several others in the blogs as having inspired her to create again.

"I'm not sure why I started doing the ruffles but I think it's because I love everything girlie and pink. I think ruffles kinda say it all."

Sissie is one more fun-loving and talented lady ~ I promise you will love her, too! Please visit her HERE and tell her that Stephanie sent you!
