Christmas Open House

 Friday and Saturday
We are all set up and ready for ya'alls!  We of course still have half of the shop dressed in Thanksgiving finery because it hasn't happened yet and it's a favorite holiday.  So if you need last minute items stop by.  For those of you who like to get a jump on the gifting, we have one of a kind items and will be replenishing daily!  We have gifts for all ages and Hiromi just brought in a suitcase full of her new beautiful purses, and hats, pouches and flower pins.

What's "On Golden Pond Look Like?"

Nap Time!

Thank you for a wonderful 2012!  It's hard to believe that this March will be our 3rd anniversary.  Time really does fly when you do what you love. 

I did get to sleep in two days in a row, but it's back to the design studio tomorrow.  I've got so many idea's and never enough hours in the day.  February 1st will be our big reveal, so stay tuned for a bookish review "Winter Whites and Shades of Grey."  It's time to get our French on! 

First Friday January 4th our 2nd annual pajama party

We brought Kim Cole back for Palm reading and she
designed and made these shirts for the occasion.

We'll have to bring her back again next summer when she
can stay longer, the lines are always to long to get everyone in!

From our Home to Yours...

A Very Merry Christmas!  

I didn't do much in the way of decorating this year, and my inspiration came from the usual source NATURE, a pine tree that was planted to close to the garage and needed to come down.  The top of the tree is our Christmas tree, and the rest of the greens were used all around the house and shop.   I didn't spend any money to decorate, just used what I had.

This wreath is made with a very old Christmas tree stand with a
big screw in the middle that I capped with an ornamental ball.

A little candle tray to welcome visitors

I used greenery in existing containers.

on the side of our garage

On the front porch I used a pallet of silver, white and red

I didn't use a lot of lights so I used something
unusual and covered it with white lights.

A red tin with holly from my yard.

This is my Nativity Scene in the foyer.

I dug out my children's nutcracker collection for a fun mantel,
and added one of my grandfathers cannons.  I buy
outside lights on summer clearance to use at Christmas time.
They last a very long time.

ornaments.

In the face of ferocious hatred, believe in the possibility that there exists the potential for

equally as big, intense, lovely and fiery ferocious LOVE.   -kate swoboda

Kizer House Room

Linda and I were honored to be a part of the Indiana Landmarks Historical Holiday walk on Washington Street.  We decorated a room at the "castle house".  But the best part of the weekend was going on the tour that showcased private homes, and hearing their stories.  Such a talented and gracious lot of people.

Our room was a botanical theme in the second parlor.  Here's a glimpse... 

The items are for sale but won't be in the store until March, so please call if you are interested.
