Just The Right Words


I love the saying on this sign. It gives me a warm, comforting feeling. Signs make a perfect addition to a wall grouping. Sometimes it is the one thing that will fit well with pictures and " fill" the space.

A collection of signs of all sizes and shapes.

Cozy Up

When the weather is cold like it is right now I think cozy home thoughts. We are not getting the snow as in other parts of the country but for us the thirties is chilly. It is the perfect time to light those candles , put a log on the fire and enjoy. I am burning Black Crow 's Prairie Butter in the store right now and it has a delicious scent of warm apple butter. Yum !! I love the pantry cake and shoo fly to left of the picture also, they speak "homey".

Speaking of being cozy these new sheets just came in from Pennsylvania this week. They are loom made and have a very soft texture. Now wouldn't it be fun nestled under these sheets?

Mantle Top Groupings

New Year and time to spiff up things. After the Christmas comes down its's time to move and redo.
A little grouping atop one of the mantles. This is all set off by the new paint in the room, Restrained Gold.

Corner Cabinet

This is a wonderful corner cabinet with square nails. It is wide so it really has a lot of space inside. Recently acquired a couple of weeks ago I feel it will make a perfect addition to the country home. On the top sits a crock with the lighted pussy willow. I need to add more crocks, a basket or perhaps a doll. It looks a little sparse at the moment but it will not take long to change that to a grouping.

Fresh Paint !!

I love the new color in the front room of the store. It is called Cardboard and I think it shows the furniture off well. Finally have taken time to take pictures after painting, redoing and putting away Christmas . It has been a busy past week.

The over sized chair and ottoman came in right before Christmas plus the love seat to the left. I know you can barely see but the fabric in the love seat looks like an old coverlet.

Welcome 2011 !!

We always think of new beginnings and fresh starts when we start a new year. That is what will be happening at the store this weekend.....same store but fresh paint and a ton of redoes. I think it will be worth the effort , a little freshening up a place never hurts. The store is closed New Years Day but we will open again on Tuesday.

Happy New Year !!!

Last Tree Standing

That's right the only tree still left up in the shop. Before I left Christmas Eve I took all the trees down but this one. It will come down soon also but I ran out of time. The Christmas decorations are all in one room making it easier (I hope) to choose those after Christmas "needs".
All Christms is 40 % off so come in quickly to pick up a little something for next year.
