Gearing Up For Fall

 We have a few handmade items in our shop.  These are a couple of those items.  The twig birdcage filled with a darling little primitive looking bird (created by Brenda Stires Lewis)-  fills our front window at our shop.

 Beautiful Swedish style desk with fold up lid...hides away any mess.

 Indoor/outdoor Dash and Albert rugs.  Affordable and beautiful.  Nice combo!

 

Our Fall Window Display. Along with Dash and Albert indoor/outdoor rugs, we have cotton rugs, bags and throws.

 Back by popular demand...the recycled  cotton/canvas pouf.  Stitched into a globe.  Very comfy seating for any room.

 Just in...Two's Company Pagoda lanterns in three sizes

 Sweet little hand carved birds - in two sizes

 Glass lanterns great for indoors or out. 

 We just received a new shipment of pillows.  These are linen with wool applique.  Many more to select from.

Great gift ideas for any time of year.  Pretty soaps.  Lovely for a powder room

Dipping!

Dipping!  And... I don't mean in the traditional since of what you might be thinking of. What I mean is "Paint- Dipping".  I am not actually sure if that is it's technical term, but that is what I will call it. I think I would dip everything I own in paint if I did not have some since of self control.  I really love how galvanized items look with a clean line of paint.  Super easy to do, you just dip your item in a container full of paint to the desired line you want and pull it out.  The trick is making sure you shake off all the excess paint and let it dry completely.  The paint should level itself out.

 

I thought I would take a couple of vintage shoe forms and play with this technique on them.

Why not.  Like I said...it would be easy to get carried away with Paint-Dipping...I say..."GO For it!"  Have fun.

The little jars/vases look super cute .

New Window Display

 Our first real window display.  Thank you Elle for all your hard work today.

 Is it that obvious?!!!  We do love birds.

        

 Beautiful vintage crocheted pillows and birds.

The perfect 42" square drop leaf table or console, or.....whatever table.  So versatile.

 The color of these peonies knock me out.  Had to share their beauty. 

 New Dash  & Albert rugs, both indoor/outdoor and cotton

 We just got this bench and table in.  Totally perfect for a small kitchen nook or breakfast room, or perhaps an entryway.

 Table has a carved base

 A little red, white and blue for 4th of July or any other day of the year.

 New Totes from Dash & Albert, too - with leather handles

 We have two of these super cool pendants.  A simple change out of old, outdated pendants to these could really "spruce" up a kitchen island, or hallway, or bath, etc.

 We have these wonderful bulb covers...that also will take a bulb from drab to really hip.

The bulb covers adjust to more of a "petal" form.

A few beautiful new items. The Eco line from Paddywax.  We  now have scented diffusers

Lovely pair of end tables with marble inlay

New Eco Paddywax Candles, and more

New Eco line of Paddywax candles, the containers made from recycled wine bottles. Lovely scents like Bordeaux Fig and Vetiver, Basil and Cucumber and my forever favorite Verbena Lemongrass
If you do not like the thought of real antlers, you might like to try these antler hooks. Great for a mud room or entry way. Good conversation piece.
We have several new pillows. Add a few to change an entire room's feel and look.

The hot selling "poufs" are back in stock, they are made from recycled cotton tent material.
