Welcome to the New Year, Favorite Drop Cloth Projects, and a New Sponsor

Welcome to the new year! I hope that everyone enjoyed the holidays and emerged with renewed energy and enthusiasm for 2011.  As sad as I am to see the boys go back to school and Mr. go back to work today, I am excited about the new things that I will be sharing with you over the next couple of weeks.  The holiday sponsorship was so well received, I plan to continue it into the new year.  If you are interested in advertising a small business or etsy shop, email me for affordable rates.  In addition to new sponsors, stay tuned for giveaways that will be announced very soon and I think you are going to love them.  Also, the cottage and vine etsy shop kicked off just before the holidays.  I will be adding a few more burlap goodies for the home as well as vintage table linens.  

Last week, I hosted a drop cloth projects party.  Thank you to everyone who linked up!!  While all of the projects were wonderful,  I wanted to share a few of my favorites.

If you think the front of this chair is gorgeous, wait 'til you see the back!

Casey lined these gorgeous panels with canvas for the light blocking benefit.

A neighborhood party just got better.  

Between You & Me

This bed-skirt could not be any more beautiful if it was made of exquisite linen.

By using tutorials from Pink & Polka Dot, this camel back sofa got a pretty new slip cover.

With a drop cloth and a little nail head trim, this table has a whole new look.

I can't wait to try a few of these myself.  I case you missed the party, go here to see all of the projects.
