I hope you’ll join me on my never-ending search for beautiful pieces, with history, for your home. Find my curated treasures, in Booth #154, at the Antique Trove, in Roseville, CA. ~ Barbara
Hello there! I hope you’re doing well! I think this will be one of those never to be forgotten years! One day, I’ll be 98 years old, sitting in my rocking chair, out on the porch. I’ll be wearing my Depends, shaking my head, as I remember the year 2020! In the mean time, let’s eat pie! Today, I’m celebrating Iron Orchid Designs because we now have all of the transfers we’ve been out of for several months! Some of the transfers are in the new format. Still the beautiful images! We aren’t lucky enough to have the Woodland (Christmas)…

Hello, friend! We were busy today, unpacking some beautiful velvet tunics, from Cut Loose, fun baby gifts, from Mud Pie, animal print cross-body purses and wild gift socks and tea towels, you have to see! We’re waiting for silk pillowcases, toddler books for Christmas, cashmere scarves and more great gifts for your friends and family, to arrive! It’s all in preparation for our 9th (ninth!) annual Holiday Open House! Instead of scheduling events over one evening, we’ve spread everything out over 3 days, to keep you safe and happy! Starting Friday, November 6th, through Sunday, November 8th, we’ll have a…

Hello! I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful, warm, mid-October weather! Let’s revel in it! Soak it in and wiggle our tails! It doesn’t get better than this! Now, if you aren’t ready for Christmas in October, close your eyes! Don’t say I didn’t warn you! I live my life 60 days into the future of the future! Right or wrong, that’s the reality for shop owners! Instead of “Home on the Range”, it’s really “Gnome on the Range”! They’re everywhere! On skis, sleds and taking long walks on the beach! We had so much fun bringing the holidays, home to…
Read the rest >>Hello again! Have you had a chance to play with Iron Orchid Designs stamps? I hope you’ll check them out soon, because they are a blast…on fabric, furniture, card making…you name it! Any-who, I.O.D has updated their stamp packaging to include masks. No, I don’t mean the masks that we are sick to death of. I’m talking about the masks that you use to add depth to an image you’re creating. It’s kinda hard to explain, but here’s a great video to explain it! _________ Now, let’s change gears and talk about Cabinet Painting! This Saturday is our last Cabinet Painting…

Howdy, Y’all!, Did you go to the Great Junk Hunt, last weekend at the new Placer County Event Center? The shop sisters piled into a couple of cars and checked it out. We had a great time and I scored these amazing old pots for our home! There was a lot more repro/new product than I expected. Yet, I know how much work and time is involved in finding cool, old junk! Tuesday and Wednesday, we unpacked more Fusion Mineral Paint. I think it’s safe to say that we have more inventory now, than at any time, since this…

Hello gorgeous! I hope you’ve had a great week, so far! As we make preparations for the holiday season ahead, we have unearthed a large stash of holiday purchases for the 2019 season. They’re all in good shape and we’re carefully packed up, but they’re so last year! When you see the shop all decked for Christmas, in the weeks ahead, I want it to be fresh and new! Until then, we’re sorely lacking space! You have been enlisted to help us spread our treasures, throughout the land! You’ll find pillows, wreaths, lots of greenery and Christmas aprons! Everything Christmas…

Well kids! It’s official! The shop is kind of a controlled mess! I added the word controlled, to make it sound like I’ve got it all figured out! Don’t be fooled! Let’s start with a picture of a cute new top! But this is just the beginning! Right now, you’ll also find a new line of jeans that I think you’ll love. 3 Styles…boot cut, straight cut jeggings and girlfriend style jeans. The fit is wonderful and I love that they retail in the $60’s, instead of they $90’s! Please do me a huge favor and try them on.…
