Wow, I wish I could hug each and every one of you for all the sweet comments you left about my Nancy Drew story. You guys really gave me the lift I needed, so here is my cyberspace version of a hug {courtesy of Jonathan Adler}
I also want to thank some wonderful bloggers that have featured some of my posts
Brittany at Loved Stitched featured my daughter’s kitchen renovation here. Check out her blog, she is giving away the CUTEST necklace, and you get to see how darn cute she is modeling it.
Reichel from CopyCatChic posted my find on a beautiful rug for less here She just had the most adorable baby

Jami from Freckled Laundry featured my number pillows here Oh and have you seen her Etsy shop? I purchased the most beautiful tags from her shop that I put on my newly painted hutch in the guest house
She was so sweet to also include some extra tags as congratulations on becoming a grandma. Can’t wait to use them in the baby’s room
Amy at Mod Podge Rocks! posted my damask Mod Podge coffee table on her Facebook page. I just love Amy’s site, she is so real and has the cutest sense of humor.
I have been doing some retail therapy the last couple of weeks. Here is a sneak peak on some items I got for my office
Two Blanc De Chine Hollywood Regency Neoclassic lamps I purchased on ebay (no shades though, now I am on the hunt for the perfect shade)
New pillows I picked up in Newport Beach at a store called American Rag
And this awesome knock off Dorothy Draper Chest I found at an estate sale. Can’t wait to show you the whole room when it is finished.





















Hooray for all your great ideas getting an audience. Jami is a bloggy friend of mine, too and a dear heart. Have a great weekend. We’re getting ready for company and an important event for my daughter..she’s getting baptized!
I’m so glad you’ve been featured! You have worked very hard on your projects and your blog.
Jami’s tags are so cute. They look great.
hope you’ve had a great weekend!

Stephanie! What a joy to see my tags on your hutch like that. It’s the best feeling to see something I made all the way on the opposite coast hanging on the handles of someone’s gorgeous hutch!!! I can’t believe I missed this post. You must think I’m awful. In my defense, the end of March was INSANITY as I geared up for my home tour. I do have a Google tracker set that is supposed to let me know when anyone posts with the words “freckled laundry” and this never came up. Bummer!!! Thank you again for ordering them and supporting my new shop. What sweet things for Chris & Gail to have said too. Aw. You certainly have an eye for design & I adore you new accessories. I still need to accessorize my rather simple living room but it’s just more stuff for the twins to run off with at the moment. {sigh}
