shop update | Grand Opening Weekend

It was such an amazing weekend that simply flew by! Speaking of flying...I was suprised at the variety of fun items that flew out of the store this weekend! Everything from candlesticks to coffee tables and everywhere in between.

My favorite part of the weekend? The loads of amazing customers that I met!!! I have never talked with so many warm, encouraging and kind people in such a short peroid of time. Saw some familiar faces and discovered some new friends.

So enough of my gushing and on to some pics. Here's a peek of the store before the weekend shoppers came through..

I am so blessed with all the family and friends who have given so much to help make this happen ...I believe I may be permanetley endebted too them!!!

Looking forward to the future...

Grand Opening of our New Store

Things are moving along so quickly and I decided it's about time to let you in on what's going on...

We are opening a real live brick and mortar store!!! So excited!!!

No it's not a joke, we are opening April 1st and yes that's less then a month away. I am frantically painting, upholstering, shopping, searching and scouring high and low for the best stuff to offer you!!! I'm pulling out all the stops! I've even begun pilfering my personal stash of fabulous finds and treasures to bring to the store...even things I swore I'd never sell are quickly getting shuffled to the sell pile. It's going to be great and I can't wait to open the doors.

Mark your calendars and I look forward to seeing any or all of you there!

I will keep you posted as things progress and will be announcing the specific location soon...just to peak your curiosity I will tell you it's in Auburn, WA.

Keeping Secrets

The ground is lightly covered in snow and I'm wholed up inside with the remains of a nasty head cold.
