Summer Wedding Season

 Delicate glass boxes look even better with the brides ring inside.

 Classic hand blown Blenko water jugs are a timeless wedding gift
 the couple will treasure for many years. 

Tiffany inspired leaded glass picture frames worthy
 of the pair's special day.

We know every bride has a cake plate on her list, and she'll cherish
 this Jadeite beauty made right here in Ohio.

Mother's Day Creations

At SoBo we like any excuse to create something unique and fresh out of a vintage item. Giving a vintage object new life is our specialty. Our wonderful friends at Rhubarb Reign worked for weeks, (maybe even months) on creations for Mother's Day.

 Photo holders made out of vintage lamp parts could hold a your Mom's favorite picture or the card you send her for Mother's Day.
 
Moms might recognize these bottles from when milk was still delivered to your door, now they have been re-imagined into vases. If you look close you will see the petals of these flowers are made from vintage reflectors once used to adorn your Christmas tree.

 Whether you Mom is famous for her entrees or desserts her recipe will look right at home in these whisk photo holders.

 Another kitchen utensil is given new life in this last project, an egg separator would fit perfectly on a kitchen windowsill or counter.

We always strive to have one of a kind treasures at SoBo Style and hope that's something you and your Mom will appreciate on her special day.  Happy Mother's Day!

Organic Cotton Totes




We are thrilled with our new organic cotton totes and coin purses!  I have personally been carrying the bird print tote the past couple of weeks and love it.  Proudly made in the bay area, the bright graphic prints are inspired by San Francisco's natural beauty.  The classic bicycle design fits right in with our Clintonville crowd.

Couture Hardware



Introducing our collection of couture hardware! As Heidi Klum would say, this jewelry is a combination of hard and soft.  Our amazing artists are always hard at work setting new trends and Heather Kramb surprised us this time. It was a real treat to explore her box of treasures and this is just a sampling of the goodies she brought us.

Lasting Impressions












                     Dan Palmer
                    12.28.1929 – 12.25.2012

Dan Palmer was an integral and immeasurable part of Sobo Style for 12 years.  He relished the “hunt” for our special SoBo pieces.  The treasure hunt was an exciting quest to Dan’s outdoorsman side.  Seeking our unique pieces brought out a new type of tracker in him.
He scoured garage sales, estate sales, flea markets and antique shows religiously.  And he always came back with something very special for the store along with a great story to share with us and our customers.
Once he found these wonderful pieces, he worked on them meticulously.  He repaired, refinished and painted our vintage furniture with all his heart and soul.  We called him “Quality Control” and if something needed repaired, we called Dan Palmer.
His last trip to Montana in November 2012, he brought back 3 bulging sacks of shed deer antlers.  Every single antler was snatched up to his amazement (and to ours!) We would tell customers the story of how he had traveled to the same ranch in eastern Montana for over 50 years and they ate it up.
After all his hard work, he was most thrilled when customers purchased a piece that he labored on with intensity and commitment.  He was thrilled when he found out one of his dressers or hutches sold and went to a good home.
There is a large part of SoBo Style that is gone but his lasting impression will be with us always.  Dan Palmer was a one of kind man and his spirit will continue to live on at SoBo Style.

Take the time to come see the new collection from Maddie Lisee because she really has outdone herself this time around!
