Come On In! (To The Treasured Home) October 25, 2012
I know some of you are more than a stones throw away, so why don’t we take the grand tour of the new shop! Let your fingers do the walking! Saturday’s the big day!
The window decal went on today and I love it!
This lovely bear, greets you, as you walk in the door! It’s painted by one of our local artists, Jean Lamour.
Harry, the headless cowboy, is also on hand to greet you!
I am tempted to take these preserved boxwood balls and the pedestal planters home with me!
I LOVE these bird houses!
The pennants are made from old school books that have been repurposed. Isn’t that cool?
This is “calendar girl”, to help children celebrate the days leading up to Christmas. “Calendar boy” is on the other side of the Bakers rack.
MMS Milk Paint, anyone??
And this is my first milk paint project!
…my vintage fabric pillows and Little Piggies!
I also adore my little match box mice!
…some of my painting projects.
These little elves are hanging from a bottle drying rack/light fixture!
And finally, where the thousands of happy customers will complete the sale! (Thinking positive!)
I hope you enjoyed the tour, as much as I enjoyed sharing!
Thanks for all of your sweet comments of support and good wishes that greeted me this morning. You’re the best!
Rock on! It just looks fabulous Barb! Enjoy the day… xxx
Thanks, sweets!
Barbara, what a great looking shop full of wonderful goodies. I am looking for some of those plates you have stacked. Hopefully HomeGoods will have them. I love your milk paint project. It peeled off beautifully. Congrats again on the shop.
Thanks so much, Kim! I could sleep for days, but I’ll save that for later!
Hugs,
Barbara

Thanks, sweetheart! How are things in paradise?
Beautiful Job! Can’t wait to drive down from Oregon and visit your lovely shop. Is the rug for sale?
The store looks “FABULOUS”, just like it’s owner. I wish I could have been there to shop. If you haven’t sold them yet, how much are the Woodland Spode plates?
Barbara

Oh Barbara how fun and how beautiful it all looks. I know you are a combination of relieved and elated that you are open. Now I can live vicariously through you and your shop. LOL I wish you nothing but the very best to you and oodles and oodles of success.
Hi Barbara! I just discovered you via the retailer link at Miss Mustard Seed’s site. I’m local- in Citrus Heights and I am so happy to find you! I’ll try to drop by soon- you have a beautiful aesthetic- I think we are kindred spirits, for sure. All best wishes to you in this endeavor!
Hi Bettsi,
Glad to meet you! It’s all part of our DNA, eh? Thanks for the good wishes. I hope to meet you in person one day!
Take care,
