A bit of a new look for us......

Retro Style!    One of our talented vendors found these vintage Drexel chairs and recovered the seats  in a fabulous animal print.  They look terrific paired with this corner end table freshly painted black.  (I always thought this style was an absolutely enormous unwieldy size but it's not so bad between two chairs).

So what do you all think??  ~S~
 

New to our Etsy -Halloween Items

Just added two sets of sweet little Halloween items to our etsy - check them out below!

 

Halloween Elves

UPDATE:  The elves have found a new home-thank you!

Cupcake Toppers

It's beginning to look like Halloween everywhere I look!  Yippee!  ~S~

Happy Fall!!

We really love Halloween in the shop so since I have Jury Duty tomorrow and won't be back in until next week, I thought I'd share a couple of pictures with you.

 

First vintage Halloween candle I've found and I think it looks cute under this dome on a pedestal base.

Does anyone else love striped pumpkins as much as I do?

Gorgeous, huge floral arrangement and check out the container!!   

And this handsome fella is a vintage Beistle skeleton I couldn't resist

See you all next week!!  ~S~ 

New in My Etsy Shop

Just added three sweet pincushions to my Etsy shop-this is really fun!  ~S~

One of them.........

Get a FREE Quart of Glidden Paint

I know - two posts in ONE day, whatever am I thinking?  Just had to pass this along since tomorrow is the last day to sign up.  The colors are lovely and it is for a whole quart!!!  Thank you to one of my favorite blogs for the heads up!

Glidden free paint offer - expires October 11, 2009.  ~S~

The Florence Nightingale Pledge - A Framed Motto from Buzza

Even with the slight water stain I love this.  A huge THANK YOU to all in the nursing field whose touch eases a patient's heart in many ways!!

Have a terrific weekend! ~S~ 

UPDATE:  The motto has found a new home - thank you!

My First Etsy sale!!

The West German bird dish has gone to a very nice lady from our neighbor to the north-Canada.  Thank you very much for making my day!!!  ~S~

A New Etsy Shop!

Spent the afternoon learning how to list items in an Etsy Shop - here are the first three items - many more to come!!!  You can find us here!

NOTE:  This was a really easy thing to learn to do-thinking about opening your own Etsy Shop? - DO IT!!

~S~

Happy October!!

I love these dried flowers and have a bunch this year as you can see-just started drying them last year when I realized they had gotten past their prime to eat. 

Recognize them?  Californians and Oregonians should-perhaps others of you, too!  Artichoke flowers is the answer.

Since this is only the third year for the entire plant, I think the crop would have been a rather nice one-more plants to be added to the garden next year just so we can have some to eat.

 

 

Enjoy the fall-we are!

P.S. The blog will be moving shortly - we are under construction with our own domain name too, thanks to my son.  ~S~
