Hello, beautiful! Yes, it’s June! The sixth month of a year none of us will quickly forget! If you need to escape the news for just a bit, please remember our new business hours. Jill will be starting school soon, working part time. Tregae, Michelle, Darlene and I will be on hand, to make sure you enjoy your visits to the shop! So, what’s more enjoyable, than saving money?! I’m not sure if you’ve seen this new Cotton line! It’s light weight, machine washable, no iron! What more could you ask for? I feel like a Bohemian princess, when…

Hello, buttercup! I thought we could take a rambling tour of my latest projects, at the shop. Are you with me? Well, let’s go! I found this window box on Facebook Marketplace last weekend. I had noticed it before, but now the price was a bit lower and it was just a couple miles away. So I brought it home. Dirt, spider webs and more dirt! I decided to paint it in our “go-to” color, Ash. I wanted the piece to be useable throughout the year. Ash is my perfect neutral. I painted the back side of the window in…

Hello again!, Well, first of all, many, many thanks, for helping us celebrate our reopening last week! Your continued support means so much to me! Jill, our fabulous manager, for the last nearly six years, let me and Mr. Wonderful know that she’s returning to school this spring. Jill is like a daughter to us and while her absence will change things at the Shop, we know that this is an excellent long term move for her. Congratulations, Jill! Jill will work part time, while going to school, so you haven’t seen the last of her! ❤️❤️ Now, I know…

Dear Friends of The Treasured Home, I hope you’re enjoying a relaxing spring day! I normally have no problem getting my message out to you, but I’m struggling with this one. I guess I’ll just get right to it. I never opened the shop expecting to make a lot of money. In fact, you may have heard me refer to the shop as my non-profit! Yet, I have benefited in so many other ways! I’ve made wonderful friends and had a blast teaching workshops and shopping for things I hope you’ll love! These last two months have been challenging…

Hey there! If anything good has come out of this shut down , it’s that I’ve had the chance to paint and create. That has been really fun! Based upon ou r paint sales, online and curbside, I know many of you have been doing the same thing! Before I forget, I’m planning to do a small live Facebook Live, featuring about 5 or six maxi dress styles, Friday, at 4 p.m. They’re fun, comfortable pieces, perfect to wear to a barbecue or entertaining at home. Just go to http://www.facebook.com/thetreasuredhome Well, the state of California now says that we can reopen May…

I hope you’re doing well! Last week, I decided to do my first virtual Zoom furniture painting class. Just to make sure you didn’t forget, I sent out two different reminders. One email had the correct link and…you guessed it…the other email had an incorrect link! Not good. I promise to avoid that, hopefully, in the future! I’m sure it was frustrating for those of you using the incorrect link. As…

Hello friends! How are you holding up, during all of this craziness in our world, right now? I wish I was one of those people who could relax easily, reading a book or binging on Netflix. It’s just not something I excel at! I am getting some couch time in today though…making plans to update our web site and writing to you! I’ve been feeling like I have Iron poor blood lately, (to date myself). Since one of my new year’s resolutions was to listen to my body, I’m laying low. As I enjoy some peppermint tea and a peanut…

Hello Friends! I don’t know about you, but the last week has been an all out roller coaster ride! Not the kind of ride that makes you laugh and giggle, but the scary kind. But since that’s no fun to talk about, let’s talk about making things pretty. Let’s talk about something we have control over! During times of uncertainty, I do at least two things. I trust that God will be with us, as we navigate the unknown. 2. I rely on distraction. Makes me think I’m in control! 3. Watching…
