Hello, gorgeous! Happy Easter week! Mr.Wonderful and I will be in Colorado Springs this weekend, celebrating Easter and Betsy’s promotion to major, at the Air Force Academy! Betsy, on right, with an Air Force friend. The shop will be open Wednesday, from 2-4 and closed Saturday. We have new arrivals I want to get stocked, including jewelry and the darling top, pictured above. Full disclosure-The tops are one-sized and run small. They’d be darling on a shorter, petite gal! We won’t be open this Saturday and I hope you have a blessed Easter! P.S: The Shana clothing rep is coming…
Hello, gorgeous! I hope you’re having a delightful week! We were able to head to Tahoe after closing the shop, last Saturday and Bob took this sunrise shot the next morning! Upon our return, there were a number of deliveries, waiting for me and I’ve been busy unpacking and pricing. You all are so encouraging, with your support, which sends my fingers on shopping trips for more! Here’s a preview of new arrivals… While in Baja, with the sibs recently, avocados were the star of the show! How does this sound: Sourdough toast, with a spread of ricotta, avocado…
Hello, gorgeous! After a wonderful visit to sister Susan and Bill’s bayside hacienda in Loreto, I’m ready to rumble! We’ll finally be open, tomorrow, Saturday, 10-2, or when the last person leaves! 🙂 I’ve unpacked, arranged, rearranged and over-thought everything to the fullest. Generally, business as usual! Darlene, Linda and I will be back, to welcome you and Cheryl will be on speed-dial! How lucky am I?! Our calendar is set through April for now and the only Saturday we won’t be open will be the Saturday before Easter. Daughter, Betsy, will be promoted to Major that Friday, so…
Hello, gorgeous! It’s Daylight Savings Time! That means it’s spring time! Yes! All the leaves are popping open after a long rest and the birds are singing like crazy! I just love it! Leavin’ on a jet plane… By the time this post lands in your email, I should be heading to Loreto, Baja California, with my sisters and brother, (pictured above at Thanksgiving a couple of years ago) to meet up with my sister Susan and Bill. I’m really looking forward to it all! (I understand that the cartel bosses aren’t interested in mature women, so I should…
Yes, it’s still January! If I had my way, I’d take January off the calendar! I know we all have it better than many, dealing with blizzards and such, but I need sun! Now that I’m finished complaining, I’ll be moving out of the Antique Trove next Monday, with Bob’s help. Friend and travel companion, Sharon Vigil will be taking my place and you’ll enjoy perusing her vintage finds! February will be all about managing new inventory and updating the lighting and paint for my new little space, in the old Treasured Home building. When I reopen, in March, you’ll…
Hello, friend! It’s a new year and today, I’m counting my blessings. I don’t do it often enough, I’m sure. After living under a cloud for the last month, I’m so thankful to see the sun! That in itself is a true mood-booster! I hope your holidays were sweet. There have been years when Christmas was a sad time for me, but this wasn’t one of those years. Both of my kids and their families descended upon Betsy and Landi’s new home in Colorado Springs, for the week and we all got along beautifully! Imagine that! Landi had spent hours…
Hello, gorgeous! I hope you’re well! I’ve sure enjoyed working with my Shop Sisters and seeing so many wonderful customers, these past few Saturday’s! Next week, I’ll shift into grandma mode, so this Saturday will be our last day open for a bit. So…20% Off, on everything, except furniture, this Saturday, only, 10-3! For example, the beautiful silky kimonos, pictured above, are normally $49.95. While they last, save $10 each! __________ After Christmas, I’m hoping to give my little shop a mini “face lift”, so it will probably be March, before I re-open. Stay tuned! I’ll keep you posted:) In…
Hello, gorgeous! Well, I got the tree “up” today! I had a half-hearted intention of something a little bit bigger, but this will work! Our mantel’s looking pretty. Does that give me extra points?
Hello, gorgeous! I hope you enjoyed a sweet Thanksgiving! I love the preparation and celebration, but what’s with all the clean up? I had no idea last Saturday if anyone would show up to my little pop-up, but you did! It was great to see so many familiar faces and I thank you for your support! If you didn’t make it in last Saturday or just want to see the new additions, I hope you can stop by today. Holiday Pop Up Schedule: Today: 10-3 December 6th: 10-3 December 13th: 10-3 ____________ New outdoor candle stakes! Great stocking stuffers! I’ve…
