Hello sweetness! I hope your week is sailing by, on water smooth as glass! Isn’t that how it should always be? In a perfect world and all?! Speaking of smooth water, I posted a couple of pictures on Facebook, of my new love for kayaking.  Never mind we’ve had the kayaks now for three years! What’s changed is my attitude!   Before, I would mentally map out a goal for how far I wanted to go.  Like it was my job…a chore…a self inflicted responsibility. (I included a picture of my feet, so you’d know it was really me!) I didn’t…

Dear Princess of Paint, Yes, we know.  We have felt your pain. It’s been a long time since our Fusion Mineral Paint shelves have been (nearly).  full. We’re expecting our knight in shining armor (also known as the UPS driver), to arrive with boxes and boxes of  paint, on Wednesday!  We’re sort of making it  an unofficial national holiday! As you know, we have new business hours…. But, since we’ll be at the shop unpacking the delivery anyway and since so many customers have been waiting for their favorite colors, we’ll be open Wednesday, from 11:30-4:30!* * It would be a…

Hello Princess! I hope you’re enjoying the week, staying happy and healthy! Tregae and I spent a good part of the day today, unpacking new Mud Pie,  P.F Candles, paint suprplies and restocking shelves. Mr. Wonderful helped load the clock table for a customer’s newly remodeled home and then we brought in a vintage dining table, to take it’s place.  It’s gone through Bob’s 62-point (just about!) furniture inspection and repair.  The paint finish will be getting some love, but it looks sweet with one of our new buffalo checked table runners!

Hello beautiful! Well, here we are.  Week two of our new shop business hours!  So far, so good!  Thanks for showing up, for last week’s boutique sale!  Because of you, we have lots of empty hangers!  Don’t despair! More fun frocks are on their way!  (Like that…”fun frocks”?) First and foremost, we’re having a FURNITURE SALE, THURSDAY-SUNDAY!  For example, this 6′ long, farm-style table and chairs, will be sold as a set, for $775, normally $1090! We have lots of new arrivals coming this week.  Iron Orchid Designs arrives today. We placed a Fusion paint order Monday.  Most colors are…

Hello, Beautiful!, I just wanted to drop you a quick note, to remind you that our boutique sale, including all clothing, scarves, bags and jewelry, starts today!  Everything will be at least 20f% OFF! Many items are discounted much more!

Hello, beautiful! Yes, it’s June!  The sixth month of a year none of us will quickly forget! If you need to escape the news for just a bit, please remember our new business hours.   Jill will be starting school soon, working part time.  Tregae, Michelle, Darlene and I will be on hand, to make sure you enjoy your visits to the shop! So, what’s more enjoyable, than saving money?! I’m not sure if you’ve seen this new Cotton line!  It’s light weight, machine washable, no iron!  What more could you ask for?  I feel like a Bohemian princess, when…

Hello, buttercup! I thought we could take a rambling tour of my latest projects, at the shop.  Are you with me?  Well, let’s go! I found this window box on Facebook Marketplace last weekend.  I had noticed it before, but now the price was a bit lower and it was just a couple miles away.  So I brought it home.  Dirt, spider webs and more dirt! I decided to paint it in our “go-to” color, Ash.  I wanted the piece to be useable throughout the year.  Ash is my perfect neutral.  I painted the back side of the window in…
