I've been a bit of a visitor to the Shabby Chic website for quite a while, and it was lovely to see it being updated recently. As always a really pretty, inspiring place to visit for a a few moments of gorgeous vision. Still the best inspiration after all these years. And, if you want to, you can purchase direct from the site which is new.
Of course, just as I expected, the postage is horrendous. Having bought hundreds of items from the US in the last few years I'm a bit of an expert in US postage (LOL!!) and the postage seems rather on the high side! It seems to say $105 for postage, whereas I normally have always paid around $40 for insured postage for a duvet. Kind of turns you off.
I'd love a set of her crown hooks, so I might inquire how much it will cost to get some sent over. I love buying from either Ebay or website sellers as they always seem to know how best to post items for the best prices as opposed to bricks and mortar shops. Anyway, here are a few photos from the site to get you on over for a peak! You can visit the Shabby Chic website here.
This is Boho Floral...confuses the heck out of me as it looks to me an exact copy of the retired favourite, Sugarplum Sorbet! Is it the same, does anyone know?
Love a good table. I've managed to fit in three inside and one outside in my small home! This one's a beauty!
You can never pass up a pretty crown. This one is $100. Yum!!
Now, these I want. Not sure about the bold gold, but a bit of white paint rubbed back might be the go, I really want a set of these!
Really pretty!
And of course the dreaded couch! This one looks really comfortable. The sooner I get a new couch the sooner I'll get over putting pictures of couches on my blog!
Visit the Shabby Chic website here, a worthwhile exercise as always!
Thanks for sharing! I didn't realize they had updated the site...quite refreshing and beautiful! Love those crowns!

Hi Vickie,
I'm here from Fifi's blog.
It's lovely here!
I'm going to go check out the Shabby Chic site, I am glad they updated it. I too love that couch you've shown - it looks so welcoming, I just want to flop myself down and read lots of decorating magazines in the middle of it or watch an old movie with candles lit. Well, a girl can dream, right?
Happy weekend,

Oh how wonderful to hear they have updated the website. That postage seems ridiculous.
Love the crown hooks though.
