the one that makes your heart go pitter patter...
that's what I found at the Irvine flea at my sweet friend
Rose's space she took the most rusty, chippy, all full of goodness
bird bath and placed it in a white urn filled with sand then topped
with beautiful sea shells, I knew then it had to come home with me
that I would fill it with sea shells from my Gracie girl
and now this beauty has a place in my heart and my home
It will always remind me of my first day moving into Country Roads and how
Rose greeted me with her warmth and kindness
and that was the start of our friendship.
She has always been there to lend the supportive shoulder
as I spread my wings in this world where we " junk in love "
I " heart " you Rose
you can always find Rose and her beautiful wares at
the Irvine Flea, Rose bowl, and Urban Barn
I did this lamp today and added one of the pieces
of coral that Rose sells and a sea shell
yes I'm in love for sure
New arrivals for #31 at Country Roads
Have a beautiful week girls!!!
stop by and see all of the wonderful goodness
of Kathleen's White Wednesday Post

eeekkkk, everything is soooo gorgeous!
It is amazing, Kate!
Great idea, I love how you filled it too!
I have probably shopped with her and didn't even know it at the Rosebowl.
Such a small world

I totally agree when it comes to Rose. She is a pretty special lady isn't she? Your space looks great, as always! We got so busy again yesterday (I'm not complaining) that I never got back to check it out or take pictures.
Take care, Sue
what you were at the irvine flea and I missed you????? oh no, how can that be? Yes I agree that Rose she is sooo sweet!! and I love what you bought! your space looks fabulous! happy Tuesday sweet girl!
Darn, I was the first to comment last night but Blogger wouldn't let me actually post the comment! Kate, I just wanted to say that I love your new piece and I understand why you are so in love!! Oh to shop at the Rosebowl or Country Roads, I'm about 1,200 miles closer than I was before. Maybe before I leave Utah!
I haven't posted anything in my blog or elsewhere in forever. I feel soooooo blah! My rental is soooo KHAKI! Walls, ceilings, my accessories and furniture seem to clash!! Mr Man, said we are NOT going to go thru the trouble of painting textured ceilings and changing the wall colors only to change them back again before we leave.
I just spent a small fortune on 120inch curtains for the living room...argh! I have no inspiration. I would really love a pretty home here in Utah:)
If I post pics, wanna give some advice?...cause I could sure use the help!
Love,
Pat
Hi Kate, that lovely, crusty, chippy bird bath looks just perfect in your home. Looks likes it was made for you.
Happy White Wednesday! I actually did my very FIRST WW post tonight. Check it out if you get a change.
Blessings,

Hi Kate,

Sylvia

I love it, very inspiring!
Hi Kate, thanks for stopping by my blog. I wanted to make a comment on your comment about Goodwills in California. And I absolutely agree with you, they are the best in CA! I used to live in Tracy, CA 5 years ago and loved, loved my local GW..I remember being so thrilled over finding a whole box of apothecary jars! Almost all of my furniture is from CA GW..I had to bring it with me to FL...hahaha
Sylvia
What a fabulous find and I love all the seashells nestled inside. Also really like your idea for the lamp base. You can never go wrong with shells, can you?
Sorry you weren't feeling well, hopefully you're better now.
Take care,
Kathleen
Be still my heart, Kate!!! Every photo is pure Heaven to me!:-) If only I lived closer... you would have nothing left to sell!:))
btw..You're new blog design is gorgeous!!!
You continue to be in my prayers every day, my friend!
Be Blessed!

Kate,
I am a new follower to you blog. Your site is so beautiful! I have a question about one of your items and wanting to know if it is for sale. Can you email me at allison.petunia@gmail.com I wasn't sure if I should ask here in the comments section. Thank you!
Wow, so cool, and so unique I love it! I also adore the lamp with the coral you put in it, you are so creative!
Been missing you, where has the summer gone, oh yes its all wrapped up in my argh ankle!

Hello Kate~((sigh)) love it! What caught my attention is the different design elements giving a beautiful variety of textures from...the sea shells to the crystals. I would have a great time interchanging this vignette for each season.
Seeing your photos and reading about So-Cal is such a joy. The OC will always be home and holds a piece of my heart...even though I'm living in the Pacific Northwest.
Thank you for strolling in for a visit and leaving me a sweet note. I know how hectic the summer activities can be so I truly appreciate you taking the time to chat.
Sweet wishes,
Sara
