Couldn't wait to show you!

Hi Bloggerettes!  I'm so excited to show you what I won at the auction yesterday.  I could swear that this must have come out of  Rachael Ashwell's home.  I'm so excited to show it to you that I took a photo of it in the trunk of my car.  Is that blogger love or what????


Now I know that you shabby style girls are lovin this chandelier.  I  might have bid a little more than I planned but hey, a girl has gotta have it! Yep, had to have it. You just can't put a price on lovely rust like this!  Not sure if I can part with it or not.

I am also still in the rufflemania mode.  So, what better to do than whip up a soft white pillow loaded with ruffles....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Now don't forget to enter my giveaway.
Everyone have a wonderful week and I hope
you find lots of good stuff.

~~hugs~~

People Who Know Me Would Say: said...

That is the coolest chandelier ever! If you decide you can part with it, you should do a blind auction on your blog. Set a reserve so you don't sell yourself short. I think you've got a lot of shabby chic lovers who read your blog.

Janean said...

hand it over right now!!! LOL. that is stinkin' gorgeous. adore that pillow to pieces too.

better frisk me before i leave this post because i've already got a place for both of your new finds. heheheheh.
