I’d like you to meet Nikki, of The Crafted Canvas! This photo was taken, early this month, when Nikki was given the keys to her new space…what six months ago, was The Treasured Home. I can’t wait for you to see what she has done with this space! I loved hearing Nikki’s story! She’s the…

Hello, gorgeous! I hope the world is treating you well!  I’ve been working inside today, avoiding the heat, getting things checked off my (never-ending) to-do list. We all have one of those, right? The old shop space is getting painted this week, as we prepare for our new tenant. I can’t wait to tell you…

Hello, gorgeous!, I hope you’re doing great!  We came up to the lake, Friday evening for a short visit, with dear friends and head back tomorrow. I’m watching a fellow, kayaking, with his black lab in the front seat.  Micha won’t put his toe in the water, let alone, go kayaking! He was busy watching…

Hello, gorgeous! Well, here we are!  It’s our last full week, today through Saturday, that we’re open for business. A few years ago, Cheryl took the lead, at the shop; a truly brilliant woman, friend and mentor. Darlene has been our fashionista, always so good at helping you find the right outfits! These women have my heart. This is…

  Hello, gorgeous! I’ve been saving some vintage pieces, in our storage room, but reality is slowly sinking in. The fact is, I love my collection of old treasures. Some of them are almost like family! But even family knows when it’s time to find their forever home. So, here we are. A month into…

Hello, gorgeous!  Yes…you! I have to say, that our retirement sale has gone much faster than I had imagined! You have been so supportive over all of the years and especially now, as we explore new adventures. I can’t thank you enough! This week, save… 40% Off this week! 50% Off next week!
