My biggest dream has come true: I get to do what I love with my boys right by my side. When I look at this photo all of our hard work is visible here. This is a dream job & I’m so thankful to be here, I will never take any of this for granted. At the book signing, someone asked me when/if there was a moment where I got used to doing things like this. And honestly, I don’t think I ever will, it is so surreal to me that so many of you follow the blog, our lives, and the book. It is something I am truly grateful for but I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to it.
You guys know that I went through something pretty difficult recently, and when I’m ready I plan to share about them … But the book signing this weekend at Rehab Vintage Market was exactly what I needed! It was such a great reminder of how amazing our community is, how you guys truly are my friends because when we meet in real life each of you feels like an old friend instantly, & how this little book of mine has brought us the coolest opportunities like these book signings where I get to hug so many of you. I cannot express how thankful I am to be invited to so many places for book signings. I had an incredible time at Rehab Vintage Market & I loved seeing you guys get to know each other as you waited in line and support their incredible shop!
A little glimpse at our book signing at Rehab Vintage Market:
I had to share a peek of Rehab Vintage Market with you guys because it seriously is so gorgeous! Before the book signing, I had seen pictures of their shop, but it did not do it justice it is even more beautiful in person. One thing I really loved about their shop is that it is actually an old house that they converted into a store. They use the layout of the house to their advantage to create the cutest little rooms for you to explore through. Each of their vendors styles a vignette or two in their style to curate a beautiful store. I love that they had a variety of styles represented in their shop from vintage, cottage, farmhouse, coastal, and more! If you live in Melbourne or are ever visiting the area I would highly recommend visiting their shop.
A little mini tour of Rehab Vintage Market:
We also had the incredible opportunity to stay in a cozy white cottage by the beach while we visited Melbourne! Heather from Rehab Vintage Market styled this cozy white cottage and was absolutely gorgeous. The floors were painted pure white and were just so beautiful, I can’t lie it made me want to come home and repaint our floors (again). Each room was styled so beautifully and made us feel right at home in Florida. I took a few photos in the cottage to share with you guys so you could see how gorgeous it was! They are considering turning this into an Airbnb & I honestly don’t know if it would be possible to find a cuter Airbnb than this!
Here is a mini tour of the cozy white cottage we stayed in:
Having opportunities like this is something I truly will never get used to, it is surreal to me that you guys all follow along with this Michigan girl living on her farm. I’m so thankful to have a community that is as supportive as you guys. I can’t wait to meet more of you as we continue to do more book signings, head over here to see my upcoming book signings! Thank you so much for visiting the blog, liking my posts, buying my book, coming to book signings and everything that you guys do. Xx Liz Marie
not to sound incredibly cheesy but I am so proud of you for sharing your love for design, your sweet family and yourself with us. You inspire me everyday to chase my dreams and to never give up. Also I cant get enough of this cottage by the sea, this is a dream for me.
OMGosh…what a beautiful cottage.. To me it looked like you had decorated it!! You are my go to for inspiration.
Thank you for the tour! *sigh* It makes my attempts at decorating seem so pedestrian, although I do love our home. I’m also loving your book. <3
When you are ready to share, we that love you will be here, ready with hugs, comfort, and encouragement.
What a BEAUTIFUL Cottage….every inch of it!!! ???
So great meeting you at Rehabvintage Market!
Amazing for you and your family ! Blessings abounds… and you bless us with your work ! Thank you for sharing real life with all of us … even though we have never met – your words inspire me always! ❤️
That looks like such a fun weekend! I would love to visit Rehab Vintage Market sometime if I am ever out that way. It looks so cute and full of amazing vintage goodies!!
Thanks for sharing Liz… beautiful photos.
Love the cottage! Let us know if she turns it into an Air bnb.
Hope and pray you’re feeling better.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank You! My husband and I are newly retired and considering moving from NY to Florida. I have been struggling on how I could blend my love for anything farmhouse with a coastal vibe that I feel is a must in southern Florida. This post has not only inspired me but given me a sigh of relief that “yes” it can be done!
Liz, love your story and that cottage you stayed in is beautiful and just your style . Hope they do use it as an air bnb. Perfect place to stay!
We moved to Florida from Michigan and have followed your blog for awhile . So happy for you that you are living your dream! ?
