Amazing Architectural Salvage

 I LOVE architectural salvage. I've got it throughout my home and garden. It is one of my favorite things, not to mention super hot in design right now. Its staying power is two fold--it recycles and it adds charm and character from days gone by that just is not found in modern homes--even many of the top-dollar custom homes.

Downtown Lynchburg, VA + Farmers' Market

Most of you know I went to Lynchburg, VA last Saturday to celebrate my great-great-aunt's 101st birthday! We had a blast. She loved seeing all of us together--there's a ton of us, too! We went to one of her favorite restaurants, Charlies, one of my favorite haunts when I lived in Lynchburg. While I was still in town, I headed Downtown and hit some antiques and junk stores. See posts here. I also went to the Farmers' Market! Here are some photos from Downtown and the market:

Junker's Heaven

Mikey Fuller Music

Most of you know by now that I play piano and organ. If you didn't already know that, well, I do! I recently launched a new web page dedicated to my music. On http://www.mikeyfullermusic.com/ you'll be able to listen to some samples, book an event, or learn more about my experience in music. I'd love for you all to pop over and check it out, then pop back here and leave a comment letting me know what you think. And don't worry--Shabby French Cottage isn't going anywhere!

Spring Cleaning. . .

I've been Spring Cleaning, so needless to say the house is a disaster right now! But I hope to be able to use my hall closet for the first time since I moved in, as it still full of stuff I never unpacked plus stuff I sort of shoved in there with no rhyme or reason. I've lived here for over three years now...no more excuses! I'm sharing some photos of some Spring goodies today you may have already seen. . . sorry!
