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.…

Hey sweetness!, I’m early this week, but I have important news to share! First of all, let me whine for a bit! It’s only Monday, as I begin this post. I’ve spent at least three hours, trying to get two software programs to talk nice to each other. That means waiting for “customer support”. I am not a technical type of person and this makes my hair catch on fire. Smokes coming out of my ears, too! I’m a hot mess! I need a day off. Oh wait, this was my day off! I did go on a lovely kayak ride…

Good evening, darlings!, While we were walking Micah, the shop manager, tonight, I told Mr. Wonderful that I was going to write a blog post, when we got home. He asked, “what about?” and I said a bit of this and that. Ready? (By the way, on our Micah walks, Bob holds the flashlight and the leash. Guess what my job is? Here’s a hint. It involves a bag! I’m the lucky one, for sure!) For starters, let’s talk about Fusion Mineral Paint. Nothing new, right? Well, I am hoping to inspire you with the work of two novice furniture…
