Updating an Old Chalk Board with I.O.D. Transfers

By Barbara Bussey | March 2, 2020 |

Hello Princess!, I hope your week is off to a great start! I was delighted to learn that my nephew and his wife, welcomed their first born, while I slept, last night!  A healthy baby girl!  Great news! After running errands this morning, I stopped by the shop.  After unpacking a few small deliveries, I ventured into some creative play time, which is always fun! But of course, it’s never quite that simple.  For me, entering the shop is    like falling head over heals, down the rabbit hole!   One thing always leads to another. After my normal course…

This Week at the Shop!

By Barbara Bussey | February 17, 2020 |

Greetings, gorgeous! First of all, I hope you’re  enjoying a delicious day off! Happy President’s Day! Since the shop didn’t open until 11:30 yesterday, (Sunday), we  had a slow-moving morning…my favorite! As devoted grandparents, we had a sleep-over with Micah (Jill’s dog), and the three of us took our time getting out of bed! It was sort of like a doggie sandwich! I’m delighted to say that our first Charcuterie 101 class, for March, is filled with 12 of you lovelies! You are all the best! From what I hear, this is going to be a great class.  I think…

Ready for a Spring Get-Away?

By Barbara Bussey | January 29, 2020 |

Greetings! While in Las Vegas, for winter market, we  had dinner with our long-time friends, who own the wonderful Kauai condo that we stayed in, last November. The condo is right across the street from the ocean and I loved going to sleep at night, with the windows open, listening to the sound of the waves . While our friends were going  to visit their home in Kauai  (April 18th to May 16th, 2020), plans have changed, leaving their rental vacant. If you’d like to have a get-away this spring,  you and another couple could rent this gorgeous 2-bedroom, 2…

Dallas Market Update!

By Barbara Bussey | January 16, 2020 |

Hello beautiful! This is a long one, so get your sweet tea or beverage of choice, sit back and set a spell! (Yes, I’ve been to Texas!) I hope your new year is off to a good start!  Just between you and me, January is probably my least favorite month of the year.  It’s mainly the weather that gets to me.  You know, cold, damp, grey skies.  Boo hoo!  Maybe I should count my blessings and think of the people shoveling snow in Michigan! I’m also thankful that our Jill is slowly getting better. We hope she’ll be back at…

We Re-Open Saturday, January 4th, with a final 60% Off of Christmas!

By Barbara Bussey | January 2, 2020 |

Greetings, dear friend of the new year! Tregae and I spent the day on Thursday, packing up 8 boxes of Christmas memories.  But, when it came to the two hundred and twenty-nine large black reindeer, galvanized reindeer and trees, (I exaggerate a little), I knew it was time to ask you for a another small favor. The fact of the matter is that we need you to adopt a reindeer!  Just one is all we ask!  Think of it as a Christmas decor rescue program!   You know, my vehicle has never seen the inside of my garage.  Poor thing…
