Trunk Show at Beth and Michael's

I did another trunk show today at Beth and Michael's house. They are a very sweet couple who bought quite a few pieces at my shop. They have a great house off of Patton Chapel in Hoover and have done a wonderful job fixing it up! I had forgotten all the pieces they bought from me but many in these pictures were from the shop!

Devastation in Alabama

Elizabeth wrote a wonderful post today about the terrible devastation in our state of Alabama and beyond so hope you will read it when you have a chance. I couldn't have said it any better about how we are all feeling for those affected...

A Few New Things in Booth at Encore

Antique chippy paint mantel - $150.00, Green Distressed Large Mirror - $28.00 (SOLD), Robins Egg Blue French Provencial End Table - $42.00

Chocolate Brown/Turquoise Chest - $85.00 - SOLD

Great Idea for a Jewelry Holder!

Here is a very cute idea I got from my sister-in-law. Take a picture frame and remove the glass, picture and any backing. Purchase some screen wire and cut it to fit the back inset of the frame. My sister-in-law hot glued dowels to hold the screen wire taut. Then sit it on a cute decorative stand and you have a great display piece to hold earrings or other jewelry! (I am working on some of these to put in booth and have at my next trunk show which is this Saturday!)

New Pieces in Booth at Encore! ALL SOLD

The robins eggs blue piece is an antique cabinet with glass knobs and would make a great TV stand (THIS PIECE HAS SOLD). The two french provencial pieces are a desk painted chocolate brown/antique white/pale gray and nightstand/end table (BOTH SOLD). (I'm sorry, I need to double check the prices I put on these and post when I have them - I know I priced the nightstand at $42.00)

Here's a new piece I just put in this morning. The mirror is sold separately at $29.00. This cute piece can be used as a dresser or buffet, tons of storage!
