Hello, gorgeous! I hope you enjoyed a sweet Thanksgiving! I love the preparation and celebration, but what’s with all the clean up? I had no idea last Saturday if anyone would show up to my little pop-up, but you did!  It was great to see so many familiar faces and I thank you for your support! If you didn’t make it in last Saturday or just want to see the new additions, I hope you can stop by today. Holiday Pop Up Schedule: Today: 10-3 December 6th: 10-3 December 13th: 10-3 ____________ New outdoor candle stakes! Great stocking stuffers! I’ve…

Hello, gorgeous! Are you excited? Me too! K I love how my little space turned out! Good thing you can’t see my garage!  All the excess that was in this space has been donated or added to the fiasco in our garage! I started on this project after returning from visiting my little grandson. 🙂 Growing up so quickly! I added this giant bow today, so you can find me. I’m wondering if it will still be there Saturday morning! Being a trusting/forgetful soul, I arrived this afternoon, to find the front door unlocked. Thank goodness no one did their…

Hello, gorgeous! I can’t stay away! While I’m still a vendor at the Antique Trove, I wanted to try hosting “Pop-Ups” throughout the year, in the same building, where the old Treasured Home used to be and now where The Crafted Canvas is located. It’s a small space, that’s been used for storage, for years, that I’m working hard to make “charming”. Wish me luck! “Rome wasn’t built in a day, so be kind. 🙂  I’m hoping to create a charming little space, that you’ll enjoy visiting. I love finding things for the Trove, but miss the people and community,…

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 daughter of Polish parents, Waldemar and Krystina, who came to the United States in the 1980’s to build a better life. After working for another machine shop, Nikki’s parents opened their own business and built it into the success it is today.  Nikki has inherited…

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 more, but I think they’ll be a great addition to the neighborhood. ____________ Final-Final Sale! It’s been five months since we closed the shop and I’ve gone through a bit of a process, letting it all go. I’m finally parting with things I thought I…

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 Bob, out on the boat. Bob continues to feel more like himself, every day. 🙂 _________ FINAL –  FINAL Closeout Sale! Sat., August 23, 10:00-3:00 (At the old shop space, in Fair Oaks) While we’ve donated a ton of inventory to the Renew Thrift Store,…
