hello my bloggy friends!
what a week or 2!!
our family went on an 1800 mile road trip
last week and into this week to attend our
2nd oldest daughter's college graduation...
AND in order to be economical we took
a little car instead of our big SUV......
um....3 kiddos in the back seat of a small car
for 1800 miles.....
......well you might be able to guess how
that went......ha ha....
but we did celebrate her graduation, and
along the way saw some beautiful countryside~
and made more memories :)
I thought I would share with you this
darling little boutique...
no, I wasn't so lucky to visit it along the way ~ because it's located
in Sarasota, Florida...
It's owned by Mark & Susie Holt.
Both their store and home have been
featured in countless magazines
and you'll quickly see why!
everything shabby, chippy, frenchy & lovely!!
love the textured walls...anyone who's been
following me for awhile knows how
I love my textured walls.....
and a sink dropped into a vintage cabinet....
yummmmmy.....
on the to-do list....pronto...
chippy cabinets, chicken wire....
true love....
chandys, mirrors & pillows, oh my!
loving the aqua mattress cover and
the beautiful iron bed!
I would be perfectly happy
moving right into their store!
they also have an online boutique you can visit
I think this deck might be part of their home...
gorgeous setting...
I would like to thank all of you for your
tremendous support of my new online store!
I've been busy with orders & sewing up a storm!
I'll be adding new products in the next few days so
be sure to check back soon to see what's new!
Have a fabulous weekend girls!
xoxo,
Shellagh

I wish that store was near me - I would live in it! I love looking at shabby chic pictures like this! Have a great weekend and glad you survived the road trip (I have 3 kids and know I wouldn't)
I raised 4 boys....and I know how road trips can be with young uns in the back....I got many a grey hair that way!
I have been to the Cat's Meow when they had their smaller store in Venice, Fl. It is a wonderful place.

Hi Shellagh,
I have this magazine and loved their store as well! I would love to have my home look this beautifully pulled together.
Congrats on your new online store, I love everything.

BIG congrats to your
daughter....and to
HER parents!!!
This is a gorgeous
little shop. My
grandparents used
to live near Sarasota
but now we have no
relatives, there...
I'll have to peek
at their on-line shop.
Welcome home!

For all the times I've been to Sarasota I have never been to this store:( I didn't even hear about it until a few months ago. Next time we go and visit my dad I'll be stopping there for sure!
You must be so proud of your daughter!!! And I'm proud of you for surviving that road trip! ;-)
Yummy images, thanks for sharing them!
Hugs,
Anne
Glad you made it back from the road trip!
Congratulations to you and your daughter too.

Wow, lots of gorgeous inspiraton here for the mini French apartment! Thanks for posting these gorgeous pics!
Glad you survived the road trip! Congratulations to your daughter!
I love The Cat's Meow and have gotten into a wee bit of trouble from going there. I did a short post about them last July when I first started blogging and featured the porch. Susie is a real sweetheart. Your post reminded me that I have not been there in a while. I think I need to remedy that!
Have a fabulous weekend!

Ahhh, family road trips. I remember feeling like you will die if you have to sit in the car one more minute! But I remember the good times more!!
What a fantastic store you've shown us. I would like to move in too!
My dream road trip would be to get to stop at every little antique store and boutique I ran into along the way and to get to stay in really, really nice hotels! :)
Hey Shellagh....congrats to your daughter on her graduation......you must be so proud! Glad you make it home safely from your trip!
Looking forward to seeing your new items.....
Blessings,
Susie
Hi Shellagh,
Congratulations to your daughter! How proud you must be and what a wonderful celebratoin it must have been!!
Oh yes... the family road trip with kids bickering all the way there... gotta love'm! It makes getting to your destination that much more rewarding, though, doesn't it? You're just so glad to get out of that car, it doesn't matter what happens after that (lol)! ;o) Glad to hear you had a great time. :)
Can't wait to see your new items, Shellagh!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs ~ Jo
Can I move in there?
Sorry dear the heat caused some issues for me...I got way behind on things.
oh yes I have heard of that boutique even from way over here in australia! Looks amazing, lucky you to be able to visit
alicia
what a lovely store...it would be a first stop if i was ever nearby.
glad you survived the road trip. i remember many of those growing up- three of us in the back seat of a small car was no one's idea of a fun time.
Congrats to your daughter on her graduation, and to your family for surviving 1800 miles in a car : ). Looks like a great shop, thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see what new goodies you've been cooking up. Take Care, Carre
Susie and Mark have a great house and store!

Thank you shellagh for your wonderful visit.
About the painting just paint, sanding a little aging and a whole lot of sanding :)
I am so grateful for your friendship and a whole lot of beauty at your place to be inspired by.
My Brother made his big move from Hawaii and is getting settled in that beautiful state of yours. I think he is less the 40 minutes from you and I will let you no when I make a visit:)
Just have a great piece waiting that I can paint with you guys :)
xoxo

Shellagh, I just came over from Time Worn Interiors and love your blog. The shop is gorgeous and so inspiring. Love the sink in the sideboard. We are getting ready to redo our masterbath, and want to try that. I've added you to my sidebar. Now got to go so I can read more of your posts. blessings, carrell

Hi Shellagh,
That looks like the most amazing store ever!!!! Now I have to laugh about your road trip...we did one a couple years ago with the 3 boys and yes, it was a bit challenging!! Lucky thing is we only seem to remember the good parts!
Happy day!
