Almost Spring Break!

Spring break is coming up next week....can`t wait! I`ll be closing my Ebay store on Wednesday this week until the following Friday. I plan to re-open with some new listings!
We have not closed on our beach condo yet so I have not been able to post any pics............but I do have a bunch of furniture and decor waiting in a storage unit!........My linen fabric came, it is so nice, I have already re-covered a shabby chic chair seat with it.........I plan to put it in the master bedroom at La maison de plage.
For all of you waiting on the burlap buckets from my store...I promise they are on the way but Fed-ex has caused a hiccough in the shipment............I`m hoping they will fix it soon! The buckets are sooo cute and just perfect for so many uses.






I also wanted to give you a sneek preview of the cutest glitter crowns I am waiting on..........they are on a metal stake...........I know I will be sticking them everywhere!!

Gorgeous French Linen Script Fabric Find!

Hope you are having a good weekend!
I wanted to tell you about this great find I made today................I had been searching for a pretty fabric with  a design that was like a lot of my goodies on Ebay......script background, crowns, cherubs, ephemera, etc. I had been admiring a French linen ( I LOVE linen) that I could only find in the UK and was outrageously price by the time shipping was added............well today I found it on a website here!!!!! I wanted to share it with you..it will make the most beautiful pillows or drapes. It is still a little pricey at $32.99 a yard but it is truly gorgeous, pure linen from France. Here is the link and a photo................https://secure.designerfabrics.ca/shop/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=22789

I plan on making some sofa cushions but some of it may find its way to an item I list in my store!

Here`s to another go!

I`m so lame.........I can`t believe I have not posted since August!..........I am definately going to do better now. Well, to fill you in on a few things...........Ebay is going strong, almost more than I can handle. I have quit work at the hospital, its weird to be no longer practising as a nurse after almost 25 years!................But, I lost my devotion to it.........and it is a job you have to be devoted to!
I`m enjoying staying home and crafting, I have a business license now and am introducing new items into my Ebay store that I purchase wholesale..........unique French items and some Bethany Lowe `pretty` items...........my favorite is the twine with velvet flowers............yummy!
My goal for this year is to open my own website and online store, it will be called www.linen-chic.com. I will have most of my Ebay items on there (at sightly better prices) and new items. I also plan to have bulk purchases, custom orders (personalised tags and business cards) and one of a kind antiques..............Can`t wait!
The biggest adventure right now is decorating a condo we are in the process of purchasing at the beach..........that beach would be Tybee Island, just 30 minutes from Savannah, GA...............It is soooooo exciting!

After a lot of thought we have come up with a name and theme for the condo...................not quite your typical beach theme.................It will be called ` La Maison de Plage`...............simply French for `The Beach House`...............The decor will be based on a French beach house............I plan to blog about it as we go along and post pictures of our progress...............starting today, an empty shell.............When finished, we will be renting out this gorgeous La Maison de Plage on VRBO.................details will be given when it is listed...................Please follow along with our vision of the perfect French retreat right here in Georgia.....................
