How is everyone today? I am tired, bored, and in class :( LOL. It’s ok though I have my friend Monica to keep me company. She won’t let me post a picture of her LOL. Hey everyone! Monica is French! Oui, she moved here 3 years ago from Paris and boy is she Frenchie LOL. In honor of Monica and Frenchiness I bring you…Marie!
Yay! I just got it, well Taylor got it for me :) It’s a lot different than I thought it’d be, it has a lot of tutorials for Marie inspired crafts. While we were book shopping I also found…
It’s called “New Cottage Style,” it’s pretty cute it goes through different cottage styles, European, American, Swedish, and..one other I can’t remember…maybe country…but it talks about how the style is changing and what things you can do for a more modern cottage. It was on sale (at Barnes and Noble) and you know I can’t pass up a sale :)
This pretty toile bin holds my Romantic Home magazines and a few others, now it will hold these :)
Holding books and magazines was not what I intended it for. I only bought it because it matched a basket I have from Peterboro Baskets. The liner is the same red and white toile. But until I find a better use for it, this is what it does. It was pretty exciting finding the bin it was at my local Marshall’s at school and there were two. I came back two weeks later they were still there. I went back a week later and there was one left. I went back another week later and the same one was now $2 cheaper… so I bought it LOL.
I looove toile :) Is anyone else enjoying their Marie? If I can I am going to do one or two of the projects inside and of course share. Has anyone else done any? All the best everyone!

Thanks for saying hello on my post! Your just over the Ortega Hwy from me, too! You've got quite a lovely collection of things for a girl your age. Wow, it seems like only yesterday I was a 20 year old coed at UCLA, now I have a 21 year old son at the University of Dallas! I think I'll head over to Barnes and Noble in Temecula and get a copy of New Cottage Style. Thanks for the tip!
You are so adorable!! I love how you find such neat things, quite the decorator and so young too!!! I love my Marie magazine, it is different but really fun to look at, did you like the movie? I loved Kirsten Dunst as Marie, those costumes were fabulous!!! And her shoes!
Have a great week, sweetie!!
