Au Revoir Noel

Every year on the Sunday after Thanksgiving we head up to Apple Hill to retrieve our Christmas Tree. I have a large iron urn that my poor husband has to try to get the tree into.  I got a late start on decorating this year so me and the boys decided to make our own decorations. I dug out some old french postcards that I had, copied them onto card stock, cut them out, then strung some up on jute around the room. With the rest of the cards we attached jute to each one then tied them onto the tree. It took us no time at all and I think the effect turned out to be quite charming.  I also made some paper flower garlands out of vintage music sheets. The paper garlands with the paper postcards really gave the tree a simple but elegant look. ( I will feature the garland "how to" in a future post.)

 

Store Closing

I have decided to close my store.  My lease is up at the end of the year and I have decided not to renew it. While I am heartbroken to bring to a close a source of so much joy I am excited about the new opportunities that lay ahead. I will never stop decorating, designing, or creating and now I will have more time to blog about it. I want to thank all of my loyal customers that have become friends for their business over the last seven years.  I will truly miss seeing everyone.

The Pumpkins have arrived! Be sure to come in soon for the best selection.

End of Summer

Summer is beginning to wind down but the heat is still sweltering. I wish I had a beach cottage to escape to! In the meantime I can bring the coast home with the many beach inspired items I carry at the store. No matter what the weather outside I will always have a smattering of shells, vintage silver, nautical rope, and shell encrusted dishes and glasses.
