Hello, gorgeous! This week’s blog post isn’t about the shop, furniture painting, or baby James, but I hope you’ll give it some thought. Last week, I joined my dear friend, Karen, to learn about Impact 100. It’s a women’s organization that supports local non-profits. There are chapters around the world, but each chapter is managed locally and all monies raised, stay right here in our own community, benefitting local non-profits. There are no salaries! All work is done by committed donors! Last year was the local chapter’s first year. The goal was to gather at least 100 women who would…

Let’s get creative! I often hear people say “I’m not creative.”. To tell you the truth, I might have said the same thing, before I started painting furniture, about 14 years ago! Until I opened a shop, that was all about giving old, discarded pieces of furniture, new life, I didn’t make the time to enjoy the creative process. So let’s start small and learn the basics. It’s what Demo Day is all about. It’s not a big time commitment and it’s absolutely free, which is even better. Here’s the plan… 11:00-12:00: Iron Orchid Designs Iron Orchid Designs offers stamps,…

Hello, gorgeous! I hope you survived Sunday night’s storm, without damage! I woke up in the middle of the night and it sounded like hurricane force winds, outdoors! We did lose power, late in the afternoon, until early this morning. Fortunately, we had plenty of candles and a battery light, for roadside emergencies, that worked well. My sister had a couple of old camping lamps, that she set up, for light. What did people do before electricity? We are so spoiled…especially since this kind of weather doesn’t show up too often. Bob and I played a couple of romantic rounds…

Hello, gorgeous! Cheryl and I returned from the Las Vegas Market on Monday night. Our shopping expedition went smoothly and we found some adorable things for the holidays, as well as this spring! Just a little “sneak peak” into Christmas 2024…we’ve decided to call the holiday 2024 season, The Year of the Snowman! Wait until you see how many versions of this little guy we found and fell in love with! We learned that you love things that light up, so we went all in! Big, little, short, tall. Oh and we couldn’t pass up a number of festive moose.…

Greetings, princess! I hope you had a relaxing 3-day weekend! It’s Monday evening, here at home and Bob’s watching Monday Night Football. I’m feeling good, after a productive day, getting stuff done! Before I forget… We have Democracy Straight Leg jeans on Sale! I don’t know how I managed it, but I ordered way more of this style, than I intended…sizes 2-14. The sale applies to everything on this rack. Jeans and jackets are all $49.99! I wear this style often. It has a wee bit of distressing, but in my humble opinion, the straight leg style makes your…

Am I too late? It will be January 9th, by the time you get this newsletter. Usually I try to get shop news out to you every week. So, my New Year’s resolution is to be more consistent. We’ll see how that goes! Micah helped me out at the shop today. I use the word “help” loosely, since I nearly trip over him, as he follows me everywhere! If you have an animal, or a toddler, you know what I mean! I just love our Valentine display, complete with a cowhide rug, I had on the Christmas display table. Look…
