CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR ME

The weekend just before Christmas I finally had the opportunity to visit a new store in town called "Not Too Shabby".  It was filled with beautiful treasures & trinkets and this was my purchase ... my Christmas gift to myself!


Having a blended family with 6 kids, Hubs and I have never made it a habit to put anything under the tree for each other.  The kids have always come first but if we see something we like during that time of year, we'll buy it and say it's for Christmas.

I could have filled my shopping cart at this store but I took my time and was very selective.  After all, my house & garage are stuffed with items that are waiting to be displayed in the perfect location.

Thanks Hubs for helping me find the perfect location!


My self-gifted Christmas present is Not Too Shabby!

I'm linking this post to Feathered Nest Friday at French Country Cottage.  Please take a moment to visit the other participants.

Cheers - Lisa

  2. This is so you and I love it! It's something that will work all year round. It's a combo of elegant, shabby, and a bit of sophistication..

    Have a great weekend Lisa!

    Take care,

    I would have purchased that print, too!! It is exquisitely devine!!
    What is the address of this new store? Have you been to see Chatelet; they have two stores in Toronto. One is one Queen Street East, the other Queen Street West. They have a website. Do a Google search for Chatelet Toronto!!
    Take care. Warm hugs, Laura

  8. I'm sure you'll return to that store time and again. What a sweet rose print. I love the frame and the shape as well! Not your typical rectangle! Self-gifting is a great thing!

  18. Hi Lisa
    I love the vintage rose pictures. I have one but the frame is round and needs work. But hey I got it for $5!
    I just found you from Lisa over at Serendipity!
    Nice to meet you!

  19. After I saw the post on the wonderful little shop I had to come find the post on the roses you mentioned. I've missed too many post...the roses are beautiful, the snow is awesome, and that shop is full of the cutest stuff. I will never stay away so long again!
