It’s Taco Tuesday, at our casa. I won the lottery, when I found Mr. Wonderful! Besides being suave and debonair, he’s a great cook! Tonight, we’ll be having a favorite of mine…Bob’s tacos! He makes the best enchiladas, too! I have a few specialties of my own, but we’re pretty simple cooks. That’s ok with me! New arrivals… See that adorable linen jumper, from Cut Loose? There’s a draw string at the hem, plus pockets. Super cute! A few other linen pieces arrived last week, as well. Check ‘em out! Speaking of linen, my nephew is getting married in…
Today’s the day! Just about every six weeks, we host our popular (and free!) Demo Day! 11:00-12:00: Iron Orchid Designs You’ll have a chance learn about I.O.D’s stamps, moulds and transfers. The best part is that you’ll be able to see how fun and easy all of these products are, hands-on! 1:00-2:00: Fusion Mineral Paint Have you wanted to try your hand at furniture painting? I hope so! It’s so fun and transforms old furniture pieces, to treasures for your home! Today, I’ll be painting a cabinet door. No matter what you want to paint, the same rules apply. As…
Hello, darling! It’s Tuesday night, as I write to you. I’m in my jammies, with a clean face, covered with an extra dose of cream, that sadly doesn’t seem to have the same magic powers it used to have. Oh well! Demo Day… As you see, from my chalk masterpiece, in the photo above, this Saturday is Demo Day! Best of all it’s a free introduction to both Iron Orchid Designs, (transfers, moulds and stamps), 11:00-12:00 and … Fusion Mineral (furniture) Paint, from 1:00-2:00 p.m. My goal is to give you the confidence to try one or both of…
Greetings, friend! This is a long one, so have a seat and grab your coffee…or a shot of tequila…or whatever suits your fancy! 🙂 I got a little more long winded than usual! While Tregae was teaching our super-popular Vintage Window class*, in my absence, last Saturday, I was exploring Oklahoma, with my daughter and her family. 🙂 (*I’m always on the lookout for old wooden windows, so if you happen to have a stash, just sitting around, I’m your gal!) Family time. (Landi and Betsy, above) We listened to a blues band, Friday night, at a local brewery. We…
Greetings, dear one! How’s your week going? I feel like I’m two days behind schedule! But then, I usually feel that way! Busy isn’t something you win awards for. Sadly. I know it sounds silly, but I went to the dentist Monday morning, as I do on a regular basis…in Lafayette. Depending on traffic, that can be up to two hours by car. Why you ask? Well, I’ve been going to this dental office for nearly fifty years. Can you believe it? Originally, my dentist was my oldest sister’s husband, Ned. Then he retired and his wonderful son, Matthew took…
Hello, again! I’ll keep this short, especially since the post I spent the last hour on, has suddenly disappeared! Boo hoo! Valentines Day is nearly here! We have cards, small “I love you” gifts and free gift bagging, like always! We’ll now be open on Wednesday through Sunday! Yahoo! Mr. Wonderful installed a new grid wall display, for me, at the shop today. And it was his birthday! It’s going to be so much easier to see everything! (If you need our old rolling displays, let me know. $25.00 each! I’m happy to see that the shop is filling back…
A week in transition…out with winter as spring clothing arrives! I hope you’re doing great! You know, I always try to put my best foot forward, but today, I feel like a goof! How can you write a blog post, without pictures? It isn’t easy, that’s how! I spent the whole day at the shop, moving, pushing, painting and packing. You’d think I could take a picture or two! Nope. Didn’t happen! The season of the dress! Maybe I can paint a word picture or two. We have the most colorful, fun knit shifts, that arrived yesterday. Perfect for this time…
Hello! How are you on this fine day? Wonderful, I hope! Let’s get to the good stuff! Our Valentine’s Day Sale starts today! All Myra Bags are 25% Off! Not just bags, but wallets, weekender bags and backpacks! The sale goes through Sunday, February 13th, while supplies last! I don’t think you’ll find a better selection of this popular bag, anywhere in the area, but at 25% off their already great prices, I expect sales to be brisk! It’s my go-to bag… for all the shop sisters, too! Many of our wonderful customers have them in all shapes and sizes!…
Hello again! So, here we are! Week #2 of our Half Off Clothing Sale! While many of you took advantage of this better-than-ever sale, last week, there’s still plenty of wonderful pieces waiting for you! It might be the perfect time to give your winter closet a little pick-me-up! In other news… Early this week, I had some sister time, in Yountville, with two of my three sisters. It was a great way to catch up, since we were all going in different directions at Christmas. We ate and drank ourselves silly! Good times! While I love getting away, I’ve…
Hello friends!, You probably know that they don’t test folks, before they open a shop! There’s no manual, rule book…nada! You’re just supposed to have a smidge of common sense. I came up with the idea for this “Half Off” sale, while doing inventory this week. (A terrible task!) I just thought, we have sooo many clothes and I have sooo many spring clothes already on order! What’s a girl to do!? So, here we are, selling all clothes, at pretty much cost. I guess it goes along with this whole non-profit adventure. The sale will continue through January! And…
