As promised, here is the amazing apron we will have for one lucky winner in the shop at the Union Thursday night for Ladies' Night Out!

We had it in the shop today and all the girls wanted one.  And, just think, it could be yours!

Hope to see you for all the fun down at Union Biltmore this Thursday, February 28th!

Calling all ladies!

Hey, ladies!  Did you hear?  Indigo is the new black!

And that is what the Willows' is all about at the Union Biltmore's Ladies Night Out this Thursday!

Join us this Thursday, February 28 from 6-8 at the Union Biltmore.

There will be discounts and giveaways from participating Union shops just for you!

And you won't want to miss all the fun with live music, trunk shows, beauty tips, wine tasting, $20 bruschetta board and bottle of bubbly at del piero and so much more!

Stop by the Willows to fill out one of our design questionnaires, enter for a chance to win our amazing vintage indigo apron (photo coming soon!), pick up one of our calling card pouches (a free gift just for you!) each with a unique, vintage swatch of indigo and join in the fun!

We will also have a stack of beautiful, vintage indigo fabrics that you can hand-pick and custom order anything from pillows to table clothes to aprons and more!

We hope to see you all there!

 Mark your calendars for Thursday night at 6 at the Union!

books! books! books!

We have so many beautiful books in the shop these days.  They make the perfect gift or the perfect little something to pick up for yourself.  They are books you will look through time and again for design inspiration.  They look beautiful on a coffee table and your guests will love to flip through their pages. Come in and see for yourself.  You will get lost in the pages...

And don't forget to mark your calendars for this Thursday night...

It is going to be so much fun!  Stay tuned to the blog for more details to come!

mary emmerling

We are so excited for our upcoming event and book signing with the amazing Mary Emmerling on March 20th!  We have her beautiful Art of the Cross book in the shop now and she will be coming to the Willows with her two newest books, Art of the Heart and Art of the Skull.  So, mark your calendars for March 20th!  You won't want to miss this event!  Watch for the details as the day gets closer!

vignette design

Here is a little sneak peek of a design project we did for a client a couple weeks ago.  We set up an in-store presentation to give her some general ideas of what we could do in her home.  We put together a contemporary design vignette set-up that she loved.  Did you know we have a full design team available to you through our store?  You can set up a meeting at the store where we can walk you through ideas for your home or we can come to you!  Call the store for details today!

lots and lots of clothes!

The apparel section at the store right now has so much good stuff (and so much in general...  we had to go buy more hangers!) you are going to want it all.  If you haven't been in the shop in a while, come on in and let us help you get a few new pieces to spice up your wardrobe.  Here's a little peek at just a touch of what we have in the shop right now.  Just to warn you, it's going to be hard not wanting it all!  See you soon!

valentine's day and lots of family

We had all our family from Chicago in town for Presidents' day weekend, so we had quite the Valentine's day celebration with all 18 grandkids (and #19 on the way!).  I did some shopping at Union Biltmore and bought the adults the Queen Creek Olive Mill almond sparkling wine!  So delicious!  Everyone should try it!  And I got all the little grandkids Smeeks gift cards to go shopping and pick out some goodies for themselves.  (Big kids got LGO gift cards!).  Christine made delicious cookies and I picked up some mini bundt cakes to celebrate a couple birthdays we had missed from the week before.  It is so nice to be surrounded by family!

  

That's a whole lot of valentine bags lined up...

Fun with mustaches from Smeeks!

Happy day to you all!
