Holiday Open House

I'm just going to let the pictures

 speak for themselves.....

Our local main street association even provided carriage rides for the evening!

The champagne flowed,

 goodies were served and

 a good time was had by all.

A great big Thank You

 to everyone who came out and

 made this event a great success!

So much to share!!

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year...

The colors, the textures, even the air smells wonderful..

Really loving these ceramic

pumpkins

Great primitive hutch filled

with all the best Halloween decor

Always have to have a few bed springs hanging around...need a hand??

Bethany Lowe at her best!

Loving all of our Grey...

It's the best neutral and goes with most everything...

So very Scandinavian...

We have an amazing four panel screen in the store. This size is hard to find and beautifully done by local artist,

Tamra Alexander Cook

Happy 4th of July !!

I am so very thankful for all of those who have volunteered to serve our country.....

It is because of you that we have the freedom to fly our beautiful flag and all that it represents.

And may none of us eat too many hotdogs,

or too much apple pie today....

Happy 4th of July everyone!

From my front porch to yours,

Sandi

After and ...almost before..

Just a quick little post today.....

 A glimpse of what's new.....

Love, love, love these numbered

 hooks and pitchers...

                                                        sold

           This cane back sofa turned out so lovely....

if only I had remembered to take a BEFORE shot...

Oh, well.

I always have the best intentions of doing a

before and after.....

I guess I'm always so eager to rid the piece of it's ugliness that I forget to take a picture..Trust me it was reeeally baaad.

                              Love the side detail !!

Easter Goodies



Ahhhh....finally, the weather is starting to feel like Spring, although it did snow a couple of weeks ago. Who woulda thought, snow (ok, so maybe snow may be an exaggeration, there was white stuff on the ground for maybe an hour) in Feb. on the central coast of Calif.

Easter falls really late this year, April 24th to be exact...... 





So the Easter bunnies are out....



Nicole Sayer designs are here...



Glass glitter....great for making Easter pretties!!





This is a wonderful old iron vase (very heavy), I can really see this in my house, but I can't keep it all ya know !!!



Nice little twin iron bed



Cute fabric bags and totes for spring, love the floral prints!



Locally
grown lavender

I hope wherever you are,
 Spring is on it's way...

 And don't forget to set your
 clocks ahead on Sunday!!!
(Yeah! Extra daylight !!)

Thanks!!
Sandi
