I am SO happy to be back featuring another AMAZING blogger this month!
I took last month off,
but that just gave me more time to think of all the
superlatives
I'm going to lavish on this lovely lady!
She is many things...
A savvy businesswoman
A custom furniture painter / re-finisher extraordinaire
A superstar blogger (well, duh)
A Kenny Chesney-obsessed fangirl
(it's true)
and speaking personally,
an amazingly kind, thoughtful and generous friend.
Just look at what sweet Mary gifted me with not too long ago...
{these are only three of the EIGHT jars she sent me!}
She is none other than Mary, the
With a keen eye for vintage finds,
her home and her Etsy shop are chock full o' inspiration...
{I just purchased this pink cutie from Mary!}
And she's even sweet enough to every so often
give ya a price breakdown on her
fab vintage treasures!
But her true artistry lies in her ability to transform
ordinary furniture into extraordinary,
captivatingly white works of art...
before...
and after...
And if you're ever lucky enough to find yourself at the
or the
then just look for a gorgeous sea of lovely whites such as the ones below...
that's likely where you'll find Miss Mary.
{look at all those sold tags!}
And not only is she super talented,
just get a load of how stinkin' cute she is!
and be sure to tell her I sent you!
You can find the link to her blog right over there, to your right.

Stop by and see me @ http://www.imagimeris.blogspot.com
What talent! That pink scale is darling♥
Hi Anne, Welcome back and thanks for sharing Mary with us. She does a beautiful job of restoring furniture. I really liked the before and after. I hope you are getting settled in your new home. Take care. Your Missouri Friend.
Oh my Gosh ~ thank you for introducing me to Urban Farm Girl ~ she is a cutie and I'm hopping over right now ~ have a great day! ;-)
WOW is all that comes to mind. I'm going to have to get over to Mary's blog for a visit. I love all those wire baskets. The before picture of the tall cabinet reminds me of the glass that was in our front door when I was about five. So much better now!
Awwww....you are the BEST!! You are such a sweet friend, Anne and if you were here in person I would give you a big 'ol hug!
Except...lets take this moment to say that I sooooo dislike that silly photo of myself!! Talk about a bad hair day! That picture was totally a joke took for Miss Becky at Farmgirl Paints because she said I never posted photos of myself on my blog. Well...now we know why! Lol! I was on a hike with my hubs in the woods and we stopped for a "cheesy portrait session" just for Becky and now I see that one all over blog land. Oh well...there goes my career as a supermodel! Hahahahaha!
On a serious note, that post was the most thoughtful and sweetest thing anyone in blogland has ever done for me. I am humbled by your words and only wish I was as fabulous as you make me sound! ;o)
Thank you, sweet friend.
Mary
you should SEE her booth at Kane ... it is like a slice of heaven
She is adorable. She took that picture just for me. I gave her flack about never posting one of herself! SOOO talented to boot. Great feature blogger.
She has a great blog and Etsy store. Very deserving feature! Love it all! That scale is stinkin' cute. I'm just a little mad that you got it...wait..I'm over it. We can still be friends. lol
Wow, gorgeous pictures!! I am swooning over all the white...
Oh Anne ~ You are such a sweetheart to show us all this great stuff. The photos are amazing, but the items themselves have got me all awake now. I was going to fall into bed - but now I must check out Miss Marys amazing "stuff" ~ thx
She certainly has an eye for vintage goodness. Love all that white.
I already `follow` her - I love her stuff. You know, I really think I should apply to your Government for residency!lol I think Texas is where I`m meant to be!I must start researching my family history - I`m almost sure I`ll find some Texan blood in our Gordon Highlander lineage!Fabulous photographs, Lovely Girl. x
Urban Farmgirl...she's my hero! :)
