Seeing Orange!!

Yes! It has been since February since I have posted here. A friend kindly pointed that out to me lately. All I can say is sometimes life has a way of putting the best intentions on hold. Since the last post the shop has enjoyed Spring, Summer decor and now Fall has appeared. I know it might seem a tad premature for some with our hot Texas days but most have been ready to think of the season ahead. We can just crank our A.C.a bit lower and at least dream.......

Dream or imagine is about all you might be able to do with this post since there are no pictures. The cell phone and Facebook has become the easy avenue and I am not able to Blog from my phone. There may be a way but I haven't figured it out yet

Back to the ORANGE though....the shop is filled with great hand made folk art , seasonal floral & textiles making it fun to add some new touches to our homes.

Hearts!!

I

I am quite certain this gal has been a slacker. Last post was December 2016 and here it is already February 2017 ? How can that be? Where has the time gone? I know I started the new year not with a resolution but with determination that I would clean out , organize at home and the shop. That I have been doing and I guess that has been my main focus. It feels good to toss out or donate what is not needed in our everyday life. That being said here it is February without nary a post. 

I love hearts!! Hearts of all kinds, different textures whether hard or soft ,manufactured 

 or handcrafted. My husband for years has given me heart necklaces or earrings that I so enjoy wearing throughout the year. Also they can be found in my home in various spots. 

With Valentines a few days away I also make sure there are hearts in my store. What says love more than a heart? Well maybe a sweet kiss or a hug!

Only A Few More Days Till Christmas!!

Only a few more shopping days!! We will be open 10:00-5:00 through Friday. Christmas Eve will be open 10:00-2:00.

Old brown jug works great with these new dishes. 

Rearranging areas making things fresher.

We are excited about our redo in one of our rooms at the store. Kathy and I have been busy with placing all the new merchandise. 

A bit of farm is appearing. 

Whites and wood make a nice clean contrast.

We have new and old things that might delight for Mother's Day. 

Old Brick Wall

This is one of our favorite rooms in the shop. This early step back looks right at home in there.

Bunnies In Waiting

Touches Here and There

Sometimes just adding a bit of greenery or floral will give us a feeling of the season.

Lavender pot added to the Arnett's sheep certainly says Spring.

Greenery tucked into the pewter vase adds freshness to this display.

More lavender and a sweet little yellow chick.
