Romantic, Elegant Inspiration Treasury

I really love the colors of this treasury--so romantic, soft and elegant. It inspires me to drink a glass of French Chablis in my vintage, silk nightie and put on some gorgeously rich movie like Dangerous Liaisons...

Cottage Style Street Team's Christmas in July!

One of our members wrote me an email this morning and it was so funny how we were totally on the same page!
Jenny, otherwise known as Be Cheery aka Lollipop Workshop suggested that the next promotion the CSST does should be a Christmas in July!
It was so weird because I was thinking the same thing!
I have been making Betsy Girls, getting ready for Christmas, and I would love to list some as part of a promotional event!
So there you have it! Now here are the details:

Start making some lovelies for Christmas and then we will all list our goodies on July 25th, 2008!
Tag your Christmas Creations with "CSST" "CSSTeam" and "July Christmas" Then we will be able to find all the wonderful CSST goodies!
I'm so excited!
I will be uploading the picture I used here in this post at the Cottage Style Christmas in July Flickr Pool. Feel free to use it on your blogs!
If you have any questions, contact me directly through Etsy or just ask in the comments.
Have a wonderful week!

Featured Seller: The Pink Tulip

Two words:
Spun Cotton

I never knew I loved spun cotton until I found The Pink Tulip.
This piece is totally amazing:


Maryanne's profile reads:

"I taught myself to knit, crochet, and sew by the time I was eighteen years old. I've been gardening since about eleven years old. Flowers and sewing are my favorite things !!! With sewing I love to mix antique or vintage fabric, buttons, anything old with new. And I enjoy making my own patterns. "

I am so captured by Maryanne's little world; her magical creations. Stop in and see for yourself!
Love,
Sadie Lou

Featured Seller: Faerie Window

Who are we kidding here? We all know Lori of Faerie Window! She is a regular blog Author and blog reader! Her creations are always of perfect quality & imagination.
Lori's blog profile reads...

"welcome to my little world where i am loving my family, cutting up paper, and making whimsies from clay and mache..."

Probably my favorite, signature creations are Lori's ceramic bunny shapes perched on little handcrafted boxes. Lori "sugar coats" those creations with German Glass Glitter...

All of the items in the Faerie Window shop have this magical, timeless feel about them.
It's one of my favorite places to shop!
