I am happy to say that we are still creating our beautiful lines of vintage textile garments and of course, our cottage furnishings.<br />
The precious little shop "The Attic", in Coronado, has been very good to us. I am there several days a week with my goods and of course a fabulous unique selection of vintage as well as new jewelry. Each of us girls bring something new to the shop everyday. The intimacy of the shop is so soothing and inviting, I would love to see you there and share some time with you. <br />
I have been invited again to participate in the Victorian show, May 18th through the 20th. If you have never attended this wonderful event, you definitely should, I know all of you would enjoy the beautiful home of Michelle Smoley. Michelle opens up her home to showcase all that is Victorian and delicious!<br />
The boutique hours are: Friday and Saturday 9 to 6. Sunday 9 to 4. <br />
The address is: 2303 Mesa Dr., Oceanside, 92054 <br />
Hope to see you there! Shirleanne.<br />

<br />

My very dear friends at the Attic in Coronado ( you know them) Nancy, Jane and Kandi...well, they have so generously given me an opportunity to join them inthe sweetest little shop in town. We will feature our garments.vintage jewelry and romantic furnishings there. As things are scheduled at this time, I will be in the shop (that's the one on Tenth) on Mondays and Thursdays.

Each time there are vendors in the garden I experience a deeper connection with each of the girls that participate there, and my life is richer for that. Sherry and Laurel showed incredible garden furnishings and a nice selection of vintage art... my old friend Dee Cook was here too. We shared many stories of our old days at The Corner Store and she sold grand pieces of architectural salvage. Jude came too... and of course I love all of her rose themed treasures.ShirleannesCottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04447061895196209479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228629306548830935.post-42488063869964796562011-04-24T16:15:00.000-07:002011-04-24T16:15:51.481-07:00more Garden Walk moments<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinMjI0IuKuG_TplsNoUktKdtCBGC0gI01REDaFMHB76SJIf69RllNVUD9vVoRUlQRsCe0vsdBZE6RmJK2CgANl8bF41zS1oU9hBF6tFtmf4L6PolNnUlWOb9reiDNzfLW93OE8G5-mUjjl/s1600/Shirley+and+Vanessa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinMjI0IuKuG_TplsNoUktKdtCBGC0gI01REDaFMHB76SJIf69RllNVUD9vVoRUlQRsCe0vsdBZE6RmJK2CgANl8bF41zS1oU9hBF6tFtmf4L6PolNnUlWOb9reiDNzfLW93OE8G5-mUjjl/s320/Shirley+and+Vanessa.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Oh my....Rita was right there with her camera and as you can see...sweet VANE .

I love them all and our fabulous clients that visited and shopped. I am excited now to be preparing for the Point Loma Garden Walk April 23rd. and then off to the Vintage Market Place at the 'Oaks" June 3rd and 4th. Also you can come visit me here at the Cottage every 3rd week-end.Thursday through Saturday, I will be bringing in more plants and garden things...we can sit in the courtyard and watch the doves...till then,Shirleanne</span></div>ShirleannesCottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04447061895196209479noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228629306548830935.post-37981690317673297952011-03-23T12:23:00.000-07:002011-03-23T12:35:37.252-07:00Chateau de Fleurs Studio and Vintage Marketplace<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtbhhGAKQbyVkyL9_4OtcPHa9WFOcGIqXThRqpFEf1lhgYnXyj1Un7IcNWfe4WtAHNzyPu4T0r9d-RaEmt0GTyPSWMi1y2vIDTncMpMZXVwOzpwTGzkWDz58CVeXCUn0Pjpk4TeYEtRDXl/s1600/Chateau+de+Fleurs+march+2011+157.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtbhhGAKQbyVkyL9_4OtcPHa9WFOcGIqXThRqpFEf1lhgYnXyj1Un7IcNWfe4WtAHNzyPu4T0r9d-RaEmt0GTyPSWMi1y2vIDTncMpMZXVwOzpwTGzkWDz58CVeXCUn0Pjpk4TeYEtRDXl/s320/Chateau+de+Fleurs+march+2011+157.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />

It's finally happened. Bear with me while I learn how to navigate and share with you some of my favorite things. I'm Shirley Castellanos of Shirleanne's Cottage in the Garden. I'll be sharing my cottage furnishings that my husband, Jerry works on, creating just the right patina on the vintage pieces that I love. I have my own clothing line with pantaloons, hobo handbags and jackets - all made with vintage matelasse, chenille and linen.</span><br />
