Again, a nice little gift for someone you love,
and a chance to encourage them with Scripture.

Both the bookmarks and Pearls jars are great stocking stuffers.

I pray you are knowing peace and joy as you celebrate our saviors birth.

Tea Anyone??

I know Spring is usually the time we think about having teas, but I have a wonderful Christmas gift idea.

First, let me brag a little.

My daughter does layouts for Pine Hill graphics, a publishing company owned by her father-in-law.

She does amazing things on the computer to help make other peoples dreams come true.

I am so impressed and proud of her.

One of the things she worked on is a tea book, "Treasuring the Gift of Time" by Julie Loree Peterson.

It is a 125 page book with beautiful photos.

This wonderful book is full of ideas for decorating, games, crafts, recipes, projects, and planning fun teas for children. =0)

Everything from making pretty hats, to napkin rings, invitations, beaded doilies, centerpieces, button frames, and more.

We have limited copies of the book, signed by the author. What a wonderful gift for your tea time friends, children or grandchildren. Or maybe even one for yourself. =0)

So take a peak and see what you think.

You could give it in a gift basket along with a tea pot, tea cozy made of vintage fabric, and doily.

Add some teas, or hot chocolate to make it complete.

Tea book is $18.

Tea accessories available.

Prices vary.

Blessings on your day.

More Treasures

Here's an idea for those egg cups we don't use:
Put them on a cake stand, sprinkle bits of tinsel, pearls,
and/ or glitter around, and, instant centerpiece!
Advent calender house with little doors that open.
Lightweight cardboard. Sale $3.00

This is a very old rocking horse, but very cute with packages around it for display.
A lightweight grandchild could even ride it.
Still pretty sturdy after all these years. $60.
Kitty Ornaments. More of the Bradford Exchange Collector's ornaments we have available for $12 a set.
These are the only kitties.

Have to rush. Store opens shortly.

blessings on your day!!

Beautiful Gift/Centerpeice Boxes

OK, I got the other photos to load.

These two boxes are the newest I've painted.
Each measures 10x7x4.

The Snowman is painted only on the front,
with the snowflakes going all around the box.
$20. SOLD

This Holly and Berry box is just gorgeous, and is painted on all sides.

$28.

They both have wire and wood handles.

These are lovely centerpieces filled with pine cones, or small gifts,

or a wonderful way to give a gift box to a friend.

The "wrapping" is actually part of the gift.

SOLD

1 more available:

10x5x4

$28.
The photos do not do these justice. They are both beautiful pieces.

More Fun and Beautiful Creations

This is part of a corner of Burgundy's and Gold's.
Click on photo to enlarge, and let me know if you have questions about anything.

This beautiful, old secretary belonged to my husband's grandmother.

We are not parting with that, but the glassware in it is available.

There are tea cups and saucers, sugar and creamers, candles, and little lavender sachets.

This jolly guy was not hand-carved here, but it was hand-painted by one of my students.

She did a wonderful job.

This bird cage may be a "re-run", but is a lovely piece.

The gold decor just sits in it, so you can take it out and fill it with decor for other seasons.

For some reason other photos did not load so will show you the newest lovelies next time.

Blessings on your day.

Fun For Girls

I took some photos of our little girl pinks today. Lots of fun stuff here, from little girls clothes, to dress up, to decor.
On the top shelf is a vintage nurse music box. A very unique piece.

The cute little ceramic tea set has lavender flowers, and is a 16 piece set.
The tea pot is about 5" tall, and included in the set are 4 cups and saucers, 1 sugar, 1 creamer, and 4 dessert plates.
Just right for a tea party for 4.
(there is a closeup of the tea set later)

We have lamps, cradles, jewelry, and other little girl accessories that are not pictured

Let me know if you have questions about anything

Isn't this the most beautiful doll set you've seen? She is an 18" vintage MANN porcelain doll in original clothes. The set is $45 and would make an adorable Christmas gift for that special little girl.
There is also a vintage high chair available.

We have a line of little girls clothes by Mia Luna designs.

Size 6 months to 6 years.

These adorable jumpers can be worn as summer dresses, or with a blouse and pants or tights for winter. Laren takes special orders so if you need other sizes she can do that.

Better not wait till the day before Christmas though! =0))

The sign above the clothes is by Kathy, and we have several to chose from. She does exquisite work and were glad to have her in our store.

Hope you enjoy what you see. Come in for leisurely shopping and a nice visit.

Blessings this season as you Celebrate the birthday of the King.

Victorian Designs

I am having so much fun making these stockings, that i decided i need to "feature" them in their own little area at the store.
So today, in addition to cleaning house for company tonight, i will try to put together some other fu fu, white and cream, "somethings" for that new area.

So look for a surprise in the next day or two. We'll have new pretties.

Have wonderful Monday. Hope you have sunshine inside and out. =0)
Blessings, Barbara Jean
