celadon home giveaway!


We are so excited one of our very favorite flea market artists has agreed to do a giveaway with us!  Michelle of Celadon Home makes the most amazing one-of-a-kind personalized art for your home.  She has four main categories you can choose from in her etsy shop.  The first is a great option for a wedding or anniversary gift.  She makes your art piece from a color photo of the couple (whether it be you, friends or family) and vintage sheet music cut into these little hearts and arranged with the couple's initials and wedding date (she also includes the original photo on the back of the frame with a note that the artwork was made from that picture).  Similar to this, her second option is a holiday gift for families.  She, likewise, takes a family photo of your choosing and arranges the photo hearts with two more hearts containing the family name and date established.  I love both of these ideas so much for that difficult to buy for person in your life. 


 The third option is one of the sweetest I have ever seen.  It is a personalized art piece made from your child's artwork.  This would be the loveliest mother's day gift, or a grandparents gift, or so sweet in a baby's nursery (made by an older sibling, of course!)...  there are so many great possibilities for this idea.  And the last option is one of the coolest and more original ideas I have seen in a long time.  The wedding guest book option.  You receive a kit in the mail prior to your wedding of craft paper hearts, gel pens and an example for your guests of what the final product will look like.  Then you mail it back to the artist and she creates your original artwork with these hearts and vintage dictionary hearts.  What an amazing piece to have hanging in your home!  What I love so much about all of these is that from across the room they just look like a piece of art, but when you get up close you discover the beautiful personal details in them.  


Now, about that giveaway...
Visit Celadon Home on etsy, then come back here and leave a comment telling us which of these four options is your favorite.  That's all! (Make sure you do it by Monday, September 12, though!)  Super easy.
Then, next tuesday we will announce the winner and that lucky person will get to choose one of these amazing options to have personalized just for them!

These are great options for Christmas gifts, so be that person you are always jealous of (whether you win or not) that gets a head start on their Christmas shopping!

would you ever...


wake your friend up on her birthday with a pie in the face?  Or rather, drive your daughter to her friend's house to shove a pie in her face first thing in the morning on her birthday?  Oh, to be young again...

sale!


Ok, so for one day only, we decided we were going to put the entire sale room on "extra" sale for 75% off.  Only one day.  And that day just happens to be tomorrow, August 31.  I fully intended to take pictures of all the new stuff that was just unloaded in the sale room, but as that didn't happen, you will just have to get down here to see for yourself.  So, let's go over that one more time.  Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 31, the entire sale room will be 75% off.  That's pretty fantastic.  I am sure we will be seeing lots of you tomorrow!

happy friday!


Boy, am I ready for the weekend.  We are having a little going away birthday party for my son Alex today, as he is leaving to go back to college tomorrow.  Other than that I am hoping to spend some time just relaxing around the house.  Hope you have something fun planned!

kim's remodel


Our very own Kim from the Willows just went through a major remodel at her house and she, ever so generously, let us come snap some pictures of the amazing job they did!  If you look at the before pictures, you will see they moved back the middle wall of the house (where the stove and refrigerator used to be) separating the kitchen from the now-dining room, to make the kitchen bigger and the dining room slightly narrower.  They put in new doors and windows, new floors and a completely new kitchen.  We think it looks absolutely amazing, Kim!  You certainly have an eye for design!  No wonder you work at the Willows... (heehee).


Kim even let us sneak a quick peek into her daughter's lovely room, which is full of treasures from the Willows...


Kim, thanks so much for sharing your amazing home with us!  

What do you think, everyone?  Do you love it as much as we do?
