Christmas Cookie Baking Vignette

Today I have the pleasure of doing a guest post for my friend Diane over at An Extraordinary Day!

Diane has been hosting a series on Christmas vignettes and invited me to share a vignette that holds a special memory. So today I'm sharing the little Christmas Cookie Baking Vignette that sits on my kitchen counter. 

It reminds me of one of my very favorite holiday traditions - baking rolled out sugar cookies with my family on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. The cookies are delicious, but it's the love and laughter that makes them extra special. And this year, we have a new little cookie decorator to join in the fun. I can hardly wait for Christmas Eve!

You can check out my guest post over at An Extraordinary Day!

If you haven't already met Diane, I hope you take some time and browse around her beautiful blog. And Diane is not only talented and creative, but one of the sweetest and most encouraging bloggers out there. Her positive energy always makes my day!

I'm a guest at Redoux today!

I am so excited to be hanging out with my friend Karen at Redoux today! This girl is a bundle of positive energy, talent and creativity!

Karen loves junque (she's French you know!) and she knows what to do with it. Her motto is ... Don't throw it out, Redoux it!

Karen's pallet pot hanger was recently featured in Country Living!

How cool is that!

This vintage sewing cabinet is topped with Karen's specialty, junque wood!

And how gorgeous is this plank topped farm house table!

Karen even created her own work bench from pallets.

And as you can see, this girl has mad skills!

 When Karen invited me over for a visit, I asked if there was anything in particular she wanted me to share today. She said that she would love to know how I got into the furniture refurbishing business. Well it certainly wasn't planned, that's for sure! For the whole scoop, you'll just have to join me over at Redoux today!

And while you're there, browse around and get to know my friend Karen. You'll thank me later!
Au revoir!

I'm at Primitive & Proper Today!

Happy Friday everyone! We girls here at Elizabeth & Co. are in the middle of a crazy tag sale weekend. But I'm lucky enough to be two places at once today, because I'm also guest posting over at Primitve & Proper. If you follow along, then you already know that I'm a huge fan of Cassie's work. But even better than that, we have become real life friends. How cool is that!

Well a few weeks ago, Cassie saw a listing for this table and chairs set and knew it was in my area. I was particularly excited because I am seriously running out of furniture!

And here is what it looks like now, hanging out at our tag sale with me and the girls. It's another homemade chalk paint project. And I went preppy blue and yellow! Head on over to Primitive & Proper to check out the details. And while you're there, you'll definitely want to browse around. Besides all the fabulous furniture projects, Cassie has been busy decorating the house she and her family moved into a few months ago. It's the perfect mix of vintage and modern, and totally adorable, just like Cassie!

And if you live in the Westminster, Maryland area, I hope you come check out our tag sale this weekend and say hello to all the girls here at Elizabeth & Co. We have a whole house filled with vintage goodness! Be sure to check out the preview post for photos and all the details! ..... Thanks so much to Cassie for inviting me over! Happy weekend everyone!
