Pillow Talk

This box arrived on my doorstep a few weeks ago. I love getting packages in the mail!

This one was from my daughter Megan. She moved from Maryland to Kentucky over the summer because of her husband's job. Megan loves to paint furniture too. She wanted to make something for our Tag Sale, but shipping furniture from Kentucky to Maryland is not very practical. I had mentioned to her that I thought we could use a little softness to break up all the furniture pieces. So, she decided to get creative and whip up a few pillows for us.

Megan doesn't have a sewing machine, so she sent the top and bottom of each pillow. Then I sewed them together and stuffed them with pillow forms. I definitely got the easy part of the project.

Most of the flowers are made from felt. I love the color combinations and the fact that each flower is unique. She even added little leaf and button details.

Here they are all tagged and ready to go.

Aren't they just too cute!

And they were a big hit at our sale!

Thanks Megan, you are sweet and talented!

Scenes From Our Vintage Tag Sale!

After months of dreaming, planning, thrifting, painting and so much more ...

our first Elizabeth & Co. Tag Sale has come and gone.

And guess what, it totally exceeded our wildest expectations.

We are thrilled and exhausted!

This is pretty much what we were left with,

a few odds and ends waiting to be picked up by their new owners.

Customers were waiting long before we opened the doors. One woman reached her arm through the door with a handful of money begging to buy this bench from the porch.

As Susan helped her load it into her car, I went running out with my camera yelling,

"Wait, I need a picture!"

Ok, now we were ready!

Mother Nature blessed us the most gorgeous weather on Friday and Saturday.

After a scorching summer here in Maryland, it was a cool and breezy,

with bright sunshine streaming through all the windows.

The house really sparkled and you could just feel it coming to life!

People kept asking us if the house was for sale too. No, it's not.

This was my husband's grandparent's home and it is filled with many

happy memories for him!

The flowers were a sweet surprise from some very dear friends!

We not only filled the house, but the porches and the yard too.

Pretty amazing what three girls can accomplish!

Don't you love the old doors?

Susan handled the front desk like a pro.

And thanks to our friend Renae for lending a hand.

There were times when it was pretty crazy!

It was a weekend filled with fun and laughter and thankfully,

lots of shopping too!

The best part was the love and support of our family and friends -

some old, some new!

A huge thank you to all!!!

Will there be another Tag Sale? You bet, probably in the spring.

Our heads are already spinning with ideas and projects.

It's our mission to convert the world to vintage,

one Tag Sale at a time!

So stay tuned, we'll keep you posted on our progress.

And hugs to Karla and Susan, the best partners a girl could ask for!!!

We're ready for our close-up!

The girls @ Elizabeth & Co. spent the day primping! No, it was not a spa day, although we could really use one. We were putting the finishing touches on the house for our little tag sale this

weekend. It's clean and shiny and besides all the treasures, it's filled with flowers and pinecones

and pumpkins and berries. Here are a few close-ups.

That's it for now.

Thanks for all your support and good wishes.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
