Friday Madness!

So, we decided to start up a little something we like to call Friday Madness. Every Friday we will offer a storewide discount to all of our very lovely customers. Without further ado, today's Friday Madness...

Stop in today and spruce up your fall wardrobe!

We would love to know- What would you like to see go on sale next Friday?

Friday's Quote:

"Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread. Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique."

Wishing you all a very fabulous and relaxing weekend!

haunted house

This weekend some of the grandkids and I had a lot of fun making our own haunted house.  I bought this old doll house at the flea market for $5, then picked up some decorating supplies at Michael's and we went to work.  The kids had so much fun and I love the way it turned out.  A little spooky, a little kitschy, a little silly...  just right.  I really loved watching their creativity and how they wanted to decorate it, like the rooms full of spiders.  So, what do you think?

welcome, baby bella!

Our wonderful, sweet Jen just had her baby on Friday and we cannot get over how beautiful little Bella is!  Can you believe those chubby cheeks on a newborn baby!  Congratulations, Jen and Vance!  We cannot wait to meet little Bella in person!  Welcome to the world sweet baby girl!

birthdays

Well, my two youngest children are both hitting some pretty major birthdays this year... 21 and 16.  Before Alex left to go back to college we had a little birthday party for him, along with our family tradition of a slideshow on your 21st birthday.  This year we set up a screen by the pool and let all the little kids float around on rafts as we watched the last 21 years of Al's life go by in photos.  Then, he was off to school where, I am sure, he had the real 21st birthday party with all his friends.  And, next up is Emily's birthday.  What do you do as a parent in the age of extravagant sweet 16 parties?  Can some nice gifts and a tray of cupcakes cut it?  Do you do anything major for birthdays in your family?  Do you have any birthday traditions that fall with certain ages?  Please share!  Perhaps I can come up with something for a 16 year old that isn't too over the top...

around the shop

More new things around the shop to share.  All our little fall treasures and fall colors have me so excited for the seasons ahead!  And, of course, we have some always exciting Halloween goodies to get you in that spooky Halloween mood!  So much new stuff, you really should just stop in and see us.  And, once again, a huge new order hit the store today, after these pictures were taken, so it is already looking new once more...  Isn't that the fun of it?

and bath mats...

Ok, I know I have been talking about all our little Library projects a lot lately, but I am just so excited about all of them.  Coming soon is our bath collection starting with these fabulous bath mats.  I can never find a bath mat I actually like and usually end up with one of the generic fuzzy ones that fall apart after one wash.  I cannot handle how much I love the look of these in my bathroom and they are super durable.  Best of both worlds.  Thoughts?

repurposed collection

This is our latest collection from Library and we are calling it our "Repurposed Collection" as it is made from repurposed men's clothes.  We also made a set of black velvet pillows to pull them all together and look especially perfect for fall.  What do you think?  And, of course, we had to make a couple pouches to go with it all...
