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.

A little bit of this, and a little bit of that...

Well, I thought I'd share some of what's new at the shop.  Hope you come out this week to see for yourself.  We have lots of furniture, and some great new smalls.

Another little cabinet, perfect for a bathroom.

Lots of little tables.  This one is painted in Annie Sloan's Duck Egg, which you can now buy in the shop.

We have a couple of old cow bells. 

Lots of cool architectural pieces this month.

We are crazy about old crystal door knobs, and have a couple of bowls to prove it.

One of our best sellers, are antlers, so we made sure we have a ton to choose from.  They are perfect for fall tablescape's.  If you don't believe me, check out our friend Susan's blog over at Maple and Magnolia.  She did a beautiful tablescape today using antlers as part of it.

This is painted in one of the new Annie Sloan colors, Pure White. 

Any dresser I paint in Paris Grey, turns out fab.  Add crystal knobs, and it just sets off the whole piece.  This isn't the greatest of pictures, but trust me, she is a beauty.

Burlap ribbon would look adorable on a Christmas tree, don't you think

I love this piece, but personally think it needs a light tatter for some character, and maybe a 1, 2, 3, on the drawers.  What do you think?

You better get your burlap runners while they last.  They are perfect for a Thanksgiving table.  Poor mom can barely keep up with demand.

 
Extra seating anyone?  We have a couple of cute benches.  Including a really nice black piano bench.

Aren't these great? 

Need a great and inexpensinve gift for someone? Give one of these vintage key necklaces, I think they are a steal at only $18 each.

This little house is just perfect for winter decorating, which will be here sooner that we know it.

We have tons of vintage ornaments in back.  I can't wait to bring them all out. 

Give us a visit at 22029 N. Pepper Road, Unit 2, in Lake Barrington, IL.  Thursday and Friday hours are 10-5, and Saturday 10-3.  We will be open next weekend as well, November 10th, 11th, and 12th, as well as November 17th, 18th, and 19th.  Hope to see you soon! 

A special thanks to all our repeat customers!  You guys are the greatest!!
