The blooms on my hydrangea bush at home are so gigantic they always fall over. So, i end up cutting them and bringing them in the store for display. Everyone things they're fake because they're so humongous. (is that a word?)

We received more of the ceramic switch plates today. We have single ($19) and double ($22) switches. Almost every design is also available in triple switch, outlet and dimmer, so we'd be happy to take special orders. These are so much nicer than the typical plastic and brass switch plates, you know it's all about the details!

These vintage baby crib pieces are my favorite thing in the store right now! The old pink paint has a bit of green paint showing through and the foot of the crib is curved and has an adorable painted floral wreath. Tiny little clips have been added to the head of the crib so that photos or cards could be displayed on it. Wouldn't it be precious to decorate an entire nursery around these vintage crib pieces.

I drove down to Kentucky this weekend and scored a bunch of new treasures. My cargo van was LOADED! Everything fit in the van thanks to my friend, Lylse, who packed it all in with the exception of one piano bench.

We covered the seats and backs of these vintage wrought iron chairs in oilcloth fabric.
The bright colors and prints give a completely new look to the vintage patio furniture.
I think these would be so cute on a front porch or back patio.....

I'm so happy the way my living room turned out! The brick fireplace and the walls were painted a warm creamy color. The fireplace is actually a shade darker than the walls and the ceiling has 50% of the wall color in it. There is a definite 'glow' when you walk in the room.
Mom took my color swatch home to look at for her kitchen and it was a completely different color. It's so weird how different colors look in different environments. Let's just say she passed on my color.
I found the curtain panels on line at Saffron Marigold. They are made in super soft India cotton and hand block printed. I came across the web site by chance and the colors and the sheerness of the fabric are perfect for the room. Since there are tabs at the top, I can pull them open or shut easily.
As for the cushions on my oak mission chairs...I had them made at Begley Upholstery across the street from the my store. I found the vintage fabric months ago at the flea market, 7 yards. They made cushions for the chairs and 4 pillows....I love them!
It's truly a whole new room and i am really happy with the way everything turned out.
My wisteria has never looked better! I planted it several years ago and it has taken quite awhile to get established. Last year i got a wrought iron trellis at the flea market and have been training the westeria to grow up and around it.
I think it's looking pretty good right about now....

Baby Bonnets
We just recieved another delievery of these cute cotton baby bonnets. They are made locally and can be worn with the brim up or down....we try them on almost every baby girl that comes in the store, they're so adorable. I want to take one home and put it on my Madam Alexander doll!
vintage porch furniture
I scored some awsome vintage patio/porch furniture this week. A red and white 2 seat glider, a pair of black and white metal chairs and a heavy-duty bouncey chair with cushions, that I could fall asleep in! The bonus is this rose design wrought iron settee set with a marble top coffee table. I have never seen anything like it, it looks like it's from tuscany or something. The set includes the settee, an arm chair, a side chair and the marble top coffee table.
