Vintage Marketplace

Hello everyone,

Awhile back I showed you my chintz teapot from my

favorite haunts. To see my teapot GO HERE 

This is Trends Marketplace. The booths are amazing and packed 

with every possible collectable imageable.

I want this armoire. I would love to have it 

in my guest room, but it is too large for the spot 

by the window.  I think I will start looking

at consignment shops or on craigslist. 

I just started a pinterest board for armoires 

and china hutches for my tea cups.

I want these chandlers too.

Walking into this boutque is 

Happyly Ever After.

Painted furniture galore is scattered around every booth.

The rooster decor on the table is something I could have

taken home. I did buy two tea cups and a vintage vase.

They will show up in a tea time tablescape soon.

I hope you enjoyed a little bit of my favorite place I visit once a month.

As you can see I can't visit to often, or I wouldn't have any room

left in my house.

Please come back for a visit soon.

Joyously,

Betty

Cozy's Guest Bedroom

Hi everyone,
It's overcast today. We've had some beautiful weather for February, but since it's going to be Spring on Friday...now the weather will turn cold. How's your weekend going? Last week Sweetheart and I took a mini vacation to celebrate ♥ a birthday. ( He turned 73 on March 10, 2015.)

Before we left on our trip I took some photos of our guest bedroom. I posted a close-up of my new tea set. HERE and now I want to share with you my cozy guest bedroom. A little bit of vintage and a little bit of cozy and comfy.

The queen size bed has the best mattress and a heated mattress pad. The lace edged sheets and pillow cases are snowy white. The patchwork quilt and shams I bought at Tuesday Morning.  I have a small vintage tea cart I use as the night stand.  A little glass lamp to read a favorite book. Soft towels and guest soaps in my mama's vintage basket. I have my mink hat in the round box. I think I bought the hat in the early 60's to wear to church on Sunday. Nobody wears hats to church much anymore. I sometimes wear it in the winter when the wind is blowing. I love my MINK HAT.

Slippers to put on after a day of seeing the sights. 

My mama's statue of Our Lady of Fatima and my daddy's rosary in the glass dish sitting on top of the tea cart. 

My vintage hats to wear to tea rooms. 

A little vintage dress I found at the thrift store.

Remember this tea set from HERE?

I was surprised when I saw this photo of my tea set on my guest bed. Two tea sets. Gosh! I just love this. 

My vintage dresser with the teddy bear my mom and dad gave me for my first Christmas on December 25,1941. 

My mama's rosary and the dressing table mirror, brush, comb and jewelry box were a gift from my Sweetheart on our first married Christmas, December 25, 1960.

Hope you've enjoyed your visit to my Cozy Guest Bedroom. 

This week I will be editing my vacation photos to share with you. See you soon.
Joyously,
Betty

*Fall Picnic*

Hello everyone,

Company is coming this weekend. I wanted to add a little fall color to our patio. While thrift shopping a couple of weeks ago I found this vintage wicker woven picnic basket...I knew it would be a wonderful addition to my patio area.

My sun hat is ready to shade the Autumn sun while working in the yard next week

Mr. and Mrs. Scarecrow have joined the party in the patio. I love to bring this pair of cuties out every September. 

Sunflowers are so perfect for my little vignette.  

My bistro set is used as added seating when we have a party. I found this soft Autumn colored throw at the goodwill for .99¢ Sweet♥

A neutral colored bow and tendrils surrounding the handles.

I love the detail on the vintage wicker basket.

Lately I've been fascinated by the 'Watercolor' technique on photographs. I played with Photoshop and created my version of a 'Watercolor' photo... 

Here is my new flag for the garden. Speaking of editing photos. I wish I knew how to remove the fold lines from my new flag without getting out the iron. I guess next week when I'm out working in the garden I'll take the flag off the flag holder and iron out the creases. LOL!

They say: Nothing is ever perfect...

Thanks for visiting and thanks for the wonderful comments.

*Vintage Plant Stand*

Hello everyone, 

Last June we updated our kitchen and dining room. I've been trying to finish up the details for awhile, but life keeps getting in the way of sewing the valance over the three windows in the dining room. 

I was so excited last week, when I was in my favorite antique store an spotted this french inspired black wrought iron plant stand. I've been looking for a tall plant stand for a long time.

I love the Old World four-tiered stand with delicately scrolled trays. I have two house plants, a copper gratin pan and a GOLDEN CROWN E & R ANTIQUE FRUIT SERIES PORCELAIN VINTAGE TEA CUP AND SAUCER FROM ENGLAND displayed on my lovely plant stand.

I have a basket of vintage tea towels and a bouquet of lavender from my garden sitting on the floor. The smell of the lavender in the dining room is divine.

Copper and faux fruit add to my French Country Kitchen decor.   

GO HERE for more of my Inspired French Country Kitchen.

Hopefully I will get to my sewing project soon and I'll share the rest of the kitchen and dining room. 

Thank you for visiting My Cozy Corner.
Joyously,
Betty

Angel~Tea Cups~Cloche

Happy Thursday to all of you wonderful bloggers and friends.

Yes, I'm very happy today. The sun is warming the ground and the temps are amazing. We are in the low 80's and perfect weather for gardening. I've been planting outside for the past few days.
Our garden tour is only 23 days away. 

I visited my favorite thrift store last week and found another cupid. Or (baby angel) and two new tea cups. Our Camellia tree is blooming and I couldn't resist to set a table with my new little friends.

While it was raining a few weeks ago, I was ironing some of my tea towels and some small table cloths and hung them on the clothes rack.  

I love  my cloches and I've always wanted a bell shaped one. While in Michaels Craft store I bought this beauty. Exactly what I've been looking for to showoff my tea cups. 

The three together. *Oh so pretty*

I love my dining room. The windows look out into my garden, but I love my lace curtains for my romantic tablescape. The camellia is an old garden favorite called 'Pink Perfection' and is a wonderful addition to my garden.
