Antiques, girlie things and junk… with a giveaway you will LOVE!

This giveaway is now closed. Winner is April from Thoughtful Escapes. 

Congrats April and thanks to all who entered!

Don’t I look calm, happy and deliriously content?

You see,  I’ve been waiting for this package.

So when it finally arrived at the post office, I barely made it out the door when I dashed the box onto the sidewalk and stabbed it open with a pen.

The pen didn’t make it, but the goods did. Ohhhh boy did they…

My newest treasures came from

 Katie’s Rose Cottage Designs run by Lori.

Did you just gasp?  Wait till you take a peek inside her store…

How did I miss this… *sob*

These jars go for $10 @ in my area. Great deal!!

Downright painful.

I swear this wasn’t there before… um… Lori…

The down ruffle pillow with tattered rose


So when I saw this ruffled beauty, I had to have it. It was a matter of life or death.

And I have to tell you, this pillow is AMPLE. It’s big, beautiful and doesn’t come as just the case. It’s filled with DOWN so you get that amazing down ‘crunch’ sound when you squeeze it.

The material is lightweight, has a slight shabby crinkle and the ruffles and flower holds beautifully.

The pillow is my new teddy bear of sorts. I carry it around all over the place and plunk it down so I can just LOOK at it. It goes everywhere!  Bet it would be decadent in my bedroom too but…

The farmhouse metal basket

… my bed wasn’t made. (never is)

No worries, my fabulous metal basket resides in my bedroom for all my girlie things.


And how cool… the little pots come out so you can do other things with them too!

It’s gorgeous. I love the patina, the scrolly metal, the wooden detail on the handle… and ran around the house with all these ideas for it. But I really loved it in my bedroom. For now. 🙂 (I reserve the right to change it out on a whim) 

Although the tote appears lightweight, it’s actually pretty strong! Gotta love metal.

The tattered rose black hat

Wait! Did you see my hat?!?

After I placed my order, I was wishing I included the hat. It actually kept me awake at night. So I did the right thing and got the hat too. I need my sleep, right?!?


The hat is to die for. It wears slightly frayed edges with a tattered rose which is girled right up again with a sparkly jewel flower. I no longer wear earrings nor rings so this replaces that bling in a unique way, wouldn’t you agree?

The hat is thick and durable and comes in a one size fits all with elastic in the back which provided a good snug fit on me. But I tend to wear them loose and floppy (I’m farmer jacket material here) so I just took the scissors to the elastic, did a tiny little snip and BAM it was perfecto!

While it’s tempting to remove the flower  so you can play with it elsewhere, it would flop around if it were just pinned, so it’s PERFECT.

Customer Service

I would nab either the awesome Vintage Aqua Jars in Rack (45.00) or the Vintage Famehouse Egg Gathering Basket (28.00) or the Large Coal Bucket (28.00) or the French Farmhouse Large Basket (18.00) of course a charm or two (3.50-2.50)… the combinations are endless.

  14. I would love each and every french farmhouse wire basket and ALL the hooks! It would go a long ways to making our home seem more of a cottage. I figure if you have low ceilings you may as well embrace it!
    (the aqua jars seriously sell for $10 in your area… really?? wow I pick them up at yard sales for $0.50 to $1)

  15. Oh my goodness! I’ve got to have the Vintage Aqua Jars in the rack… They would be PERFECT on my kitchen table… or coffee table… or anywhere.

  16. OMG I am in the “just buy me the whole store” group!
    But we just did this thing in our living room with our couch in the corner, along with our huge ottoman making a make-shift-sectional. To make it cozy I have thrown throws over it, a sheepskin across the ottoman etc and that Large Feather/Down Ruffle Pillow would be absolutely perfect!

  17. Seriously .. how do you decide!! I would buy one of everything and my husband would have a cow!! Great stuff and thank so much for the give away!!

  18. Her shop has such beautiful things! I really love the large feather/down ruffle pillow that you selected and I also love the vintage rusty doorknobs. I have added her site to my favorites and will visit often. Thanks for sharing this great shop with us!

  19. I love Katie’s! And I adore the Hanging Vintage Ticking Lavender Pocket Pillow which is sold but maybe she will have another. And the aqua jars too, can’t leave them out!

    I will post about it and come back and let you know!

  20. You look so cute with all of your feminine stuff! I’d definitely want a hat just like yours! And maybe a pillow. And that shower curtain is lovely and that already sold lampshade too.

  21. I’ve already been to her blog and seen that bread pan with the milk bottles, drooling the whole time over it. Totally LOVE her stuff!! I’m also pretty crazy over the French farmhouse buckets. There’s more than that too, but I’ll keep it minimal….

  22. I love Lori! She is precious..and her stuff is awesome 🙂 My favorites are the coal bucket, egg basket, and train case. Thanks so much for the chance to win some of her goodies.
    And you look TOO CUTE in that hat, Donna 🙂
    Enjoy your pillow!

  23. OMGosh, what a fantasic shop! I love everything! The French Farmhouse Large Basket sure is a beauty….I want one of each item!!! lol

    Love your new jewelry holder!!!

  24. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, how can one choose just one or two things from Katies Rose Cottage. I want it all!!!!! Love the pocket pillows, love the refurbished vintage items, love the bling jewelry. Lori is such a doll, and I love her website. Thanks for promoting this!
    Shirley C.

  25. How exciting to get all those great goodies. Love them all.
    I love the wallhangin (pillow) in the ticking with the doilies and flowers……really I’d love to have anything .

  26. Oh, wow! Let’s see… I’d *LOVE* the “Holy Night” pillow, as it’s my husband’s favorite song (not just favorite Christmas carol). I’d also love to have a vintage sewing drawer (loved the one in its original stain). I’m already going to scoop up the bread tin and milk bottles, but I’d love a fork easel and/or teapot. I’m with a lot of people — I’d like one of everything! The ideas are fantastic! Not only am I subscribed to FJI, but now I’m subscribed to the KRC blog! Thank you!

  27. I luv, luv, LUV this site. Thank you so much for featuring it. I went and ordered some items already!

    For the giveaway, I’d luv to have the Joyeux Noel pillow.

    Gratzie for the giveaway!

  28. I love it all!!! I really like the rose cross the body bag and that lovely pillow! 🙂

  29. I love several of the item that have sold marked on them. I love the blue jars in the holder and most all of the pillows and all of the rusty tins. So I suspect if I won, I would have no problem getting over the loved sold items and choosing something beuatiful. 🙂

    Tamara tlsbooks@cox.net

  30. Thanks for this yummy giveaway! I adore that French farmhouse flower holder but someone already snatched it! The train case is awesome and so are the bin photo frames…

  31. Be still my heart! Wow! Can I love it all? lol
    I really fell hard for the Vintage Kerr Jars in Canning Rack. Those would look awesome in my rustic kitchen.

    Stacy

  32. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the old blue jars in the canning rack. . . if I weren’t broke right now, they’d already be mine so I hope I win! I also love the old galvanized watering cans, rustic hooks, handmade pillows and especially the hat you got!

    Thanks,
    Cindy

  33. Oh goodness, how could I pick anything? I love, love, love the pillow. But the metal tool basket is so wonderful. And the hat…. I can’t choose! It’s all so amazing! Plus I know I’ll change my mind if I get the chance to order, so, best not commit until I see if I’m lucky enough to win! 🙂

    Thanks to both of you for your generosity!

    ~Angela~

  34. Oh…..such a sweet and girlie giveaway, Donna! LUV it!! It’s a toss up between the ruffly pillow you’re holding and the ruffly shower curtain! Just somthin’ about those ruffles….! lol! 🙂

  41. Her pillows are absolutely gorgeous. Love Love Love the one that you got but also the “Faith” pillow too and the french wire baskets ~ all so pretty!

  42. Oh My Donna – I am in LOVE with everything at Katie Rose Cottage. It is so difficult to even choose what my faves are as everything there is so “ME” and would work in our tiny log cottage home. If I won the $60.00 givaway the first thing I would order is the Rustic Coal Bucket for my kindling:
    http://www.katiesrosecottagedesigns.com/item_1195/Large-Galvanized-Coal-Bucket.htm

    I also adore the Vintage Train Case and would add that to my shopping cart in a heartbeat:
    http://www.katiesrosecottagedesigns.com/item_937/Vintage-Train-Case.htm

    I will be watching this shop on a regular basis – So many of the treasures I love are already sold. Many of these items would make ideal gifts for my vintage loving family and friends.

    Thank You for this opportunity.
    Wishing You All of Life’s Sweetest Blessings!

    P.S. One of these days I am going to get photos of my brown kraft paper kitchen floor loaded somewhere and share them – Pinterest idea that changed how I feel about our kitchen in a big way!

  43. Oh what awesome eye candy she has in her shop! Love the train case, but I really NEED your pillow:) Okay, doesn’t have to be YOUR pillow, doesn’t look like I’d be able to snag it out of your hands anyway but I LOVE IT!

    It would be the perfect icing on the cake for the 14 year old couch I’m attempting to recover.
    Mom thinks we should dump it, but she doesn’t realize how broke we are. Plus, it’s so comfortable.

    I just bought fabric to redo the cushions and pillows and need one “pop” to tie it all together in the middle. I’ve been checking forms at thrift stores, but when I saw your picture, I was like THIS IS IT!!!

    Thanx for sharing this awesome shop!

    a hui hou, Shelly

  44. i checked out the items and i love the large watering can and the rustic mini lantern.i also love the farmhouse hooks and the metal hooks

  45. Oh my! There is so much to love. The French Farmhouse baskets (all of them) are must haves, followed by a long list of everything else. Thank you for sharing her site.

  46. I just love EVERYTHING Lori has on her site pretty much, but I do adore her pillows!! Lovely giveaway from a lovely lady and shop!!

    (this is the only way my comment would go through)

  47. I Love everything in her shop! There’s so much awesome stuff (the pillow and those blue bottles are to die for, I can’t get those in my area). But if I were to pick one thing, my favorite thing would be the first Vintage Lace cuff in her Vintage Finds section. I will be tweeting/Facebooking this contest! Good Luck to Everyone!

  48. Wowzers..I need the large Farmhouse basket, the zinc rose, metal hook, the topiary…I NEED these things! Everything on her site is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

  49. First of all Thanks for the info on this cute shop… Love the french farm basket and I think I have to buy this hat your wearing. Your look so cute… I think my daughter would love this hat.. Oh heck with that I would love it…
    Hope I win so I can get a few things..

  50. Oh my gosh!! I am totally in love over her India Rose shower curtain.. I just may have to order it, even though I have glass shower doors on all of the showers in our home. Seriously, I swoon!:) And just about everything else on her site is delish!!

    Missashleigh at juno dot com

  51. Oh wow! Those AQUA jars are amazing! You just don’t see those much in my area. I tried painting my own pasta jars to achieve that look, just not quite the same. So many lovely things and really reasonable prices – YAY!

  52. You’re so right. I’ve been a fan of her shop for awhile now. If I were ordering right now, right this minute, I think I’d buy the Holy Night pillow, the Fresca soap, the Love charm necklace, or the pillow you got or the ice skates…..

  53. Oh.My.GOSH!
    What wouldn’t I love?!
    I would surely love one of those gorgeous wire baskets, or a pillow, or milk bottles…
    Hmmm… so many wonderful choices.

  56. Oh Donna this is such a delightful giveaway. Lori’s items are fabulous. I’ve done some ‘window shopping’ and here are my choices: Vintage Farmouse Egg Gathering Basket for $28 and the French Farmhouse Bucket3 for $23 and the French Farmhouse Large Basket for $18 and last, but not least, the Zinc Rose Magnet for $5. The best part is that Lori is local to me so I wouldn’t have to wait too long for these lovelies to get comfy in their new home. Thanks, ladies!

  57. OMG – I JUST found your blog today, and I adore (ADORE!) it! And how cool that I didn’t miss this giveaway! If I won, I’d have a really hard picking something – because I love it ALL!

  65. Donna,

    First of all,you look so adorable in that hat. I would love one of those. I also liked the numbered galvanized, pots, the French wire basket…too many things to mention!

  67. I am so thrilled to find a shabby chic store that is reasonably priced and her style matches mine! I love so many of her items. If I were to win I would have to get one of the ruffle pillows like you received. The handmade ruffled lampshade would be fabulous in my bedroom. Ruffled purses, galvanized number pots perfect for growing herbs in the winter…ahh so many cute ideas!!! Thank you for sharing this fabulous site! Since scouring it Wednesday she has already added more! SWOON!!! shaeded at gmail dot com

  77. I love her stuff. I would have love 1 or 2 of the Topiaries and mason jars i baskets, but they are sold.
