It's finally here!
The holidays are BIG for us.
I mean, we go all out on decor, gift items, and well... Pretty much anything that has to do with the Holidays.
It starts in January, at show, and in my head.
Where I try to pull together themes. And order enough for that theme.
Boxes everywhere.
Glitter everywhere.
But, when you hear a squeel as a box is opened.
It's all worth it!
This is my week, how's yours?

Having a store is a whole mix of wonderful, angst, joy, stress, pleasure, irritation, and Christmas morning mess.
Yes, all of this and more!
And to get through it (with any kind of sanity) requires a village.
There's the Artists who help you see IT....
The Organizers who help you find IT.....
The Motivators who help you keep going towards IT....
The Facilitators who connect the right Hats towards IT.....
The Widget-Tracker who tell if you can have IT....
The Believers who always think you'll make IT.....
Thanks for being in our Village.
Couldn't do it without YOU!

What to do when you've painted your piece one Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan, and a month or two later, decide you want it another color?
Maybe you've moved. Maybe you were just a little afraid of picking color. Or, maybe you've went crazy with the first can & color and now, you need this piece to stand out more.
Maybe you changed you're mind more than once, or twice.
No worries!
Just re-paint with your new Chalk Paint® Color!
Still no prep, other than cleaning.
Decide whether you're painting everything or, just part.
Finished!
Got Chalk Paint®?

What's a girl to do with 3 vintage sofas?

Perfect for a backyard wedding. NOT! So Ashley stepped in and completely re-built the sofa.
Yes 3.
No. I'm not a sofa hoarder! We were planning a backyard wedding last year and I wanted to 'dot' our backyard with vintage seating.
So, one thing led to another and in 2 short weeks I had 3 vintage sofas.
One was especially bad.
It looked great on Craig's list, and in person, till we went to load it and discovered the ENTIRE center was missing. The seller had put a pile of books on the floor under, and then the middle cushion over (another story).
Perfect for a backyard wedding. NOT! So Ashley stepped in and completely re-built the sofa.
She had to rip everything out, and start from scratch. Because it had to be completely re-done, we could actually do anything we wanted.
We narrowed our search, and getting inspiration from Jennifer Aniston, went with a rich pallet - a gilded frame and creamy white upholstery.
Oh, and the wedding.
It was a huge success. With lots of dancing, singing, and friends. And all the sofas were perfect!
Now she's at Re-Find Living in Auburn. Waiting for you.
