This week at the shop

We've been busy at the shop this past week, so thanks to everyone who has come out! I snapped a few pictures the other day.

We picked up this great table last week up north. 

Love all the chippyness!

We also picked up these great old buckets.

The graphics are wonderful.  They are from Bombay India, and transferred glycerine to the States during WWII.

Mom put together this adorable flower filled basket this week.  It would be so cute on a front door.

We have a few sailboats left in the shop.  They are perfect for summer decorating.

We also have sweet little glasses and beachy place mats this week.

How cute is this glass?  They are a great size.

We pulled out the old recipe card bundles.  We have sold a "bundle" of  these in the past.

I can't believe this bed was still around.  It is so perfect for a guest room or little girls room, or cottage, or beach house, or cabin........you get the point. Kris from Junk Chic Cottage actually picked this bed up the other day.....yeah!

I used to collect old hat boxes.  I just think they are so great stacked, and are perfect for storing stuff.

Some of them actually have the owners notes still on them.  This particular box held quite a few hats.

This one is from The French Room at Marshall Fields.

I can't stress enough how perfect these flower vases are for large bloom flowers.  They are perfect for hydrangea's.

Mom also got busy this week and made more runners.  We have a few French themed ones, and she even made a few regular burlap ones a little longer than usual. 

Well, there you have it.  Thanks to all those who came out this past week, and hopefully if you haven't stopped by, you will Tuesday.  We will be open Tuesday from 9am to noon.  Have a great week everyone!

This week at the shop

We have had such a rush on mom's burlap runner's, she had to make a ton more for this week's sale.  We are so pleased you are all as fond of them as we are.  They are so versatile and so, so cute! 

These are the few I snagged for a photo op.

We still have a few bags of snowballs left at the shop.  They look so cute in a bowl.

I love these tall candles.  I find so many reasons to use vintage keys and sheet music.  They are two of our favorite things to use.

 
I know, you've seen this done a million times, but I couldn't resist.  They are just so cute!  The glass balls we used have a slight iridescence to them, and they are really quite pretty.  As you can see, Boom Boom really likes them too. 

Nosey cat!  He ended up in 21 of my pictures.  He refused to get off the table.

I love wrapping gifts in brown paper and then personalizing it with fun things on top.  We hope you do too.  We have quite a few rolls ready to go, and tons of ideas for the top.  How about a zinc letter tied on with red and white baker's twine? Or maybe green plaid ribbon with a glittered letter tag on top.  You could even put a pretty ornament tied up on top. 

We are open again this weekend.  So come up and see us.  22029 N. Pepper Road, Unit 2, Lake Barrington, IL.  Thursday 10-5, Friday 10-5, Saturday 10-3.
