Blog Woes

I am a self taught blogger and I know that I would love posting almost daily if I could get the hang of my blogging program (as well as my photo program, ugh) but I am having issues. Constantly. I have been working on a post for DAYS, a very simple little thing with only 2 pictures and I cannot get it to post correctly. I am frustrated.

If there was any chocolate in sight right now I am pretty sure I would eat, no inhale, the whole thing.

 

Mother's Day~

Happy Mother’s Day to our

lovely Mother!!

We hope you had a

splendid day!

We love you very much!

New Furniture & Exposure

Here are a couple new pieces of furniture that we have. Most of the furniture that we sell is vintage/antique finds that a local lady repairs (if needed), sands, paints and all together makes beautiful. :)

 

This pink cupboard is solid and very sturdy. It has the best chunky crystal knobs and shelves as well as an inside drawer. Great piece!! $295

This is a primitive styled corner hutch that can fit into almost any room and any style. I am so tempted to take this one home. $295

We have many more pieces of furniture available and our selection is always changing.

Also… be sure to watch Inside Edition tonight (4:30 pm AKST channel 5) for a glimpse into our shop!!  The tv crew was here last week filming and we are so excited (and thankful!!) for the national exposure :)

May Day

Happy May Day!

A bit cool and blustery here but May 1st none-the-less :)

Does anyone remember as a child putting flowers on people’s porches, ringing the doorbell and running to hide? It is a lovely tradition that should be reinstated.

Laugh in Flowers

“The earth laughs in flowers.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I overwintered this baby!! At one point it was a inch high little stick that didn’t look like much, certainly not like it would eventually grow into this beauty!

Last summer I had 2 of these Geraniums growing in the kitchen windowsill. They still sat there come fall and there they remained all winter until 1 of them froze. This one didn’t look so good for awhile but now look at it :)  

This is my favorite picture, capturing the sun and the flower.

It gives me a “ gladheart ” :)
