Happy Friday!

I first shared this photo on Facebook a couple of  nights ago,  but thought these products deserved a bit more attention.  These fabulous Carafes, Mini Decanters & Decanters are perfect for gift giving, holiday parties, wine parties and make wonderful hostess gifts.  We adore this company and their great products including tumblers etched with numbers 1 - 12!  No more wondering if you have your glass or someone elses!  We also adore the mini cloches with the words "delicious", "delightful", "decadent" and our favorite adjective, "divine",  (divine, 2nd only to fabulous!) etched in beautiful script letters.  The newest addition to this fabulous collection is a very large cloche with "Fromage"  etched across the front.  Pair it with our new nickel cheese markers for your next party!  Hoping you enjoy these as much as we do! 

Wishing you all a fabulous week-end!  Don't forget we are open tomorrow from 10-2:00!  Stop by and make sure you let us know you read our blog!

Pairing Old and New

It's hard to believe but we just finished our first full week!  We had a great time and loved meeting so many new customers!  Don't forget our Grand Opening is this Tuesday, Oct. 11th, 4:00-8:00 p.m.  If you are unable to come during that time, please stop by anytime during the day, as we will be open regular business hours!  We can hardly wait to share the store with you!

I couldn't resist posting this picture of one of our displays.  The gorgeous plaster scroll candle holder would be great on an occasional table, a bathroom vanity, a bedside table, etc.  I love the pattern of the cheetah pillow with the tones of this gorgeous piece!  Notice, we paired it with antique suitcases we found on our trip to Round Top.  When putting together any grouping I always suggest that you don't stick to one style, as then your room becomes too thematic.  The suitcases/trunks give this grouping warmth and character.  It makes the room much more comfortable and adds that lived in touch. 

Just wanted to say thank you to my sweet friends who have dropped by to see the beautiful store and wish us well.  We are so excited to see our old customers and to meet new ones!  I am blessed to have an amazing family and friends.  I truly love my life and those in it, and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! 

He's back!  This gorgeous black rooster would be beautiful on an island or dining table.  I think many of us are afraid to venture back into the world of the "country style" of the 80's!   The difference is he is now done in one color.  No colored feathers and please, no friends!  Just one per household, please.   The home today shouldn't resemble a barn, full of farm animals.  Instead, an accent piece.  And this guy, well he is stately and beautiful, standing 17 1/2 inches tall.  He is available in black and stone.

The Black Rooster was a favorite at our open house in May! Pair him with a great floral and cookbook stand and you have an instant kitchen island grouping.

The Stone Rooster is equally as gorgeous and regal! He would be a fabulous addition to any home.

What a great day we had today!  Our first customers of the day were Jennifer M. and Leslee D.   Jennifer took home a piece of our great fall decor, and Leslee stuck to our signature staple, a few fabulous Carriage Candles and a feather wine bottle topper!  Since both arrived at about the same time, we decided they tied for our first customers at our new location!  We have a special surprise for them during our Grand Opening festivities on the 11th!  Who knows?  We may have a surprise for you as well....just saying.  I would mention it on Tuesday night if I was you!  It will let us know you "follow" our blog.  We love or FB Fans and Blogspot Followers!

If you haven't made it in yet,  here's a peek of one of my favorite things!  Enjoy! 

In less than 12 short hours we will be OPEN!  Even though I should wait until tomorrow, I couldn't resist sharing these gorgeous candles with you.  Hand sculpted in San Diego and available in several different finishes and styles.  They are almost too beautiful to burn!  Whether it's a fleur de lis, cross or a beautiful crown, you won't be able to resist adding these to your home.

Don't feel like you have to wait until next Tuesday for our Grand Opening.  We'll be there all week!  Or better yet, come see us now AND later!  Can't wait to see you!

p.s. Thanks Debi for following us!
