This is your lucky day! While you read this, with your morning coffee, Mr. Wonderful has a nice corned beef, simmering in the crock pot. Just ask and lunch is on us! PLUS, today only, get 10% off all things green! That includes Leticia’s beautiful topiaries! She just delivered new plants to the shop for you, or some lucky person you love! Truthfully, I just thought up this brilliant sale idea. When I took these award-winning photographs this afternoon, St. Patrick’s Day hadn’t occurred to me! But hey, there’s a green bottle! What luck! And check out that hand painted…
Three new I.O.D. transfers are here! Ephemeral Melange, shown above, is just one of three new transfers, introduced by the IOD sisters this afternoon. It’s a unique tablet of fun. Just 12×16” and full of small images, perfect for a craft party! Time to call the girls! The new moulds and stamps are somewhere out there in the ocean, on a container ship. They were expected months ago, but we’ll be here when they finally show up. Worse things could happen! I’m keeping the people of Ukraine in my thoughts and prayers. The hardships they face are hard to imagine.…
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…
