as seen in...

a tiny peek of what's to come

pepperberry's and ????!

The influx of holiday catalogs has begun and I'm finding that some of the big, national, very well known companies (I call them "the big boys") have picked up some of the same holiday items as pepperberry's! This mercury glass star ornament from Belgium was one of the 1st items I bought last January at the show! I love when that happens.

The count down is on! By this time next week, I'll be watching the minutes tick away until 4 pm when I'll close the shop and lock myself in for the remainder of the weekend (and Monday). I'll be working my magic to transform this tiny little place into the European Yuletide that I have been picturing in my mind for the last 10 months.

I can't wait to take you there.

You're Invited!

Should be fabulous!

my new view from the cash wrap

It's a little more primitive than some of the other pieces I have, but I love it!I wonder what it's story is. Time worn, rich with history, built for memories...both old and new.

It's a great fit.

Incoming!

Getting a new piece of furniture!

Oh, if only it were this easy!

meet and greet!

This is Carly Neal and she is one of my fall interns! Carly is a Sr. at Westminster College majoring in Communications and Fine Art! She is usually here Wednesdays and Fridays. Look what she's learning to do! And yes, that is Holiday wrap already!

Now, meet Abbey Basta.
Abbey is also a Sr. at Westminster College majoring in English! She is here on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She also has learned the very important signature gift wrapping technique!

They are both eager and willing to learn the ropes here and will be a valuable asset during the busy holiday season. Be sure to stop in and get to know them! They can't wait to meet you!
