First Vintage Market A'ffaire a Success!

Our very first Vintage Market A'ffaire was a real success and a whole lot of fun! We were pleased not only with the many people that attended, but the weather could not have been nicer! The day was full of excitement. We are already planning our next event which will take place in December! Watch for the exciting details of that.

The shop is taking on a new "Christmas" feel and I'm very busy reworking all the decorations and bringing winter back into the store. Please stop by soon to say HI!

And don't forget 'THRIFTY THURSDAY' ...coming up on November 18th. HALF off all clothing, purses and shoes!

Well, I guess the flyer about tells it all, but we are about to embark on the first ever Occasional Sale in Walnut.

Its been exciting to see it all take shape. This flyer ad is the bomb! Created by Susan Meyer Prince using a photo by Pam Witt, makes this really cool. And yes, the kitty is real. It's my little Tara, who lives in my shop's courtyard.

Now our sale must live up to the challenge!

Cheryl, Kathy and Pam have been scanning our areas for the most unusual and interesting of vintage items and beyond.

Come expecting unique things...bring your friends.

Sale starts at 10am sharp...NOT before...

Will be held on the lawn of the previous Antique City Bed and Breakfast, a 99 year old home!

No HINTS on whats available, only that there will be a little of everything!

SALE IS ONE DAY ONLY!!!

Then we will begin collecting for our spring Vintage Market Affaire' !

Open House is Over!

Fall Open House is over for another year!

What a beautiful day it was! I had many visitors and if one of them was you, I thank you from the bottom of my heart to make my day a success. It sure seemed like everyone had a good time. There was cookies and treats, but the favorite of the day were the courtyard kitties. 3 babie kitties have strayed into my courtyard and they are precious! A little shy and wild, but cute as buttons! Watch for a new blog on "Take Pity on the Kitties..." coming soon. I will be listing the address as soon as it's up and running.

"SASPA TIP OF THE DAY"

Make your glass sparkle! Clean with white vinegar and newspaper! This will work on your windows and all your pretty glass!
And, what a great way to re-use newspaper!
Why not use a glass or crystal compote dish or covered cake plate, fill with gourds, squash and little pumpkins as a fun fall centerpiece?
Fun, festive and fall-ish!!
