~The Season Inspires~

I just got back from a wonderful trip to Hawaii...

My son and his family live on the Big Island so it is always a treat to visit them!

This trip gave me the opportunity to work on my plans for the holidays

and I can't wait to get going on this years holiday season!!

Here are a few updates I've made on my space at Monticello since I got back.

 

 

 I found another one of these awesome clocks that mimics a

Swedish Mora Clock...

It's a reproduction, but I just love its shape!!

 

 

I'm excited to get started on a total revamp of my space

at The Iron Cottage!!

I have a treasure trove of stuff to uncover

and get displayed!!

 

 

I will have new pictures soon!



~Monticello Makeover~

The Fall Show at Monticello's is over, but it has driven a

wonderful inspiration for this beautiful Fall Season!

 

 

Hope you can make it in to check out some fabulous treasures to be found!

~ Latest Project Accomplished ~

I finally finished a project that's as sweet as can be!

I posted pictures of this beautiful twin headboard a few posts ago,

and it has been sitting in the barn getting splattered by bird poop!

It only took twisting my husband's arm to get the frame

made for the bench section, and after that it was smooth sailing!

I'm not going to be happy when it sells, but I have no place for it

in my home, so hopefully it's new owner will appreciate it!

 

 

Here's the before pic of how I found it!

 

 

Well, I'm off to Bend to treasure hunt for the upcoming

Fall Show at Monticello's!!

I can't believe it will begin in just 2 weeks!!

I have a larger space this time, so I am able to bring

in some of the most amazing finds!!

Stay tuned for some sneek peeks...

~ Lake Oswego Rocks ~

Well... we had an amazing Grand Opening for the new shop!

 Lake Oswego is evidently the place to be!!

Besides the fact that we haven't even advertised...

people are getting sucked off the road and finding they love

having a new place to shop in their own neighborhood! 

Here are a few pics of some of the new treasures

that are arriving daily!

The French Armoire just sold  ;(   But I can't wait to show you what I found to replace it!! 

I'll finish with one of my latest projects...

Have a great week...and hope you have a chance
