Hello! Happy day after Thanksgiving! Guess what! It’s Small Business Week! This past week, we’ve gotten more stocking stuffers in and the rechargeable light modules have finally arrived, back in stock! We have free make and take classes on Friday and Saturday, that filled up long ago. But, there are still Two more spots open for our upcoming Santa Tray class! Sign up Here. Moving on, have you ever bought a piece of furniture that just didn’t work in your home, as you hoped it would? It’s happened to me too. I don’t think any of us have missed this experience…
Dear Friend, I know that this has been a very troubling year, for so many of us, for a multitude of reasons. I have a new practice that I’m working to instill into my daily life, hoping it becomes a habit. It’s something I’m thankful for. It’s so easy to listen to the negativity. There’s plenty to be heard. But does it really serve me? Us? I’m not suggesting to deny reality. I just find it easier to be kind to myself and those I encounter each day, when I look for the positive. I avoid the news, when possible…
Please welcome guest instructor, Kathy Pavloski! I met Kathy this year, pre-Covid, at the shop. After a few conversations, I learned that she teaches classes outside the area and she shared her work with me. Pretty wonderful! Ever since, I’ve been trying to get her to teach a class at The Treasured Home. Finally, today, we got a date and project on the calendar! Yes! I don’t know the process exactly. I just know it was inspired by some vintage paper placemats Kathy found at an estate sale. (You’ll be relieved to know that you don’t have to paint the…
Hello, darling! It’s Taco Thursday, here and I thought I’d take a minute to let you know what’s up, at the shop! So are you ready? Let’s go! It’s five weeks and one day until Christmas. I could have left that morsel of information out, I can hear you say! Why don’t we back up a bit and just enjoy Thanksgiving! Are you the master of the turkey, this year? If so, I found this informative graphic online and thought you’d find it helpful. Not really? Well, I’m in charge of a giant Caesar salad! Impressive, eh? You can…
Hello, Friend!, Thank you so much attending our Holiday Open House, last weekend! And thanks to our great team, Darlene, Michelle, Leticia and Tregae, who all worked their tails off!

Our next Free Make & Take classes are scheduled for November 27th, (Filled) and Saturday, November 28th at 2 p.m., in celebration of Small Business Saturday. I…
Greetings! Lisa, our knowledgeable Brighton rep, will be on hand today, to show you all of the new Brighton designs! It’s a great time to add to your own collection, or shop for friends!

This is a BYOB event! When was the last time you went to one of those?! Seriously, our insurance company has told us to not serve alcohol! But, you can bring your own. Go figure! Stop on by!…
Hello friend! Can you believe that this will be The Treasured Home’s 9th Holiday Open House? I remember Mr. Wonderful was a bit skeptical about my shop plans, back in 2012. I have to admit, I had my doubts, as well! I told him, “I’m going to give it two years.” It’s been a wild and wooly roller coaster ride, but I’d do it all over again! I’m so thankful for our wonderful and loyal customers! You are the best! As a small token of our thanks, everything in the shop will be 10% off, Thursday through Friday! New arrivals…
Hello there! I hope you’re doing well! I think this will be one of those never to be forgotten years! One day, I’ll be 98 years old, sitting in my rocking chair, out on the porch. I’ll be wearing my Depends, shaking my head, as I remember the year 2020! In the mean time, let’s eat pie! Today, I’m celebrating Iron Orchid Designs because we now have all of the transfers we’ve been out of for several months! Some of the transfers are in the new format. Still the beautiful images! We aren’t lucky enough to have the Woodland (Christmas)…
Hello, friend! We were busy today, unpacking some beautiful velvet tunics, from Cut Loose, fun baby gifts, from Mud Pie, animal print cross-body purses and wild gift socks and tea towels, you have to see! We’re waiting for silk pillowcases, toddler books for Christmas, cashmere scarves and more great gifts for your friends and family, to arrive! It’s all in preparation for our 9th (ninth!) annual Holiday Open House! Instead of scheduling events over one evening, we’ve spread everything out over 3 days, to keep you safe and happy! Starting Friday, November 6th, through Sunday, November 8th, we’ll have a…
Hello! I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful, warm, mid-October weather! Let’s revel in it! Soak it in and wiggle our tails! It doesn’t get better than this! Now, if you aren’t ready for Christmas in October, close your eyes! Don’t say I didn’t warn you! I live my life 60 days into the future of the future! Right or wrong, that’s the reality for shop owners! Instead of “Home on the Range”, it’s really “Gnome on the Range”! They’re everywhere! On skis, sleds and taking long walks on the beach! We had so much fun bringing the holidays, home to…
