Exciting stuff going on...

I am a proud member of our Downtown Auburn Business Assocation. This group brainstorms and supports each other to make our town stand out! Things are hopping this year with some fresh new shops and extra enthusiasm. We have several events going on among the already sought after yearly happenings. I will share here as they come along for all the locals who want to partake. Tomorrow evening I will be setting up at the NATMUS Museum here in town among many other unique businesses. Looking forward to more networking and gaining new customers (FRIENDS)!

Our town is known for their Vintage Cars with Crusine In's and Auto Auctions (VIEW THE ASSOCIATION'S WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION) that are held yearly we welcome thousands (if not over a million) of out of towners. Looking forward to sharing more with you in the coming months!

Few things in shop this week....

April already???

I think I blinked and a month flew by. lol Things are going well and we are very steady in shop! Always sending out BIG THANK YOU'S to our customers! This past weekend we brought in three refurbished coffee tables. Adding 100 year old solid wood interior doors to the tops of dated tables that needed a makeover made for some unique tables. Stop in and check them out of you haven't.

If you are local please mark your calendar for this coming April 19th. Several shops around town are hosting a 'GIRLS NIGHT OUT' with a pajama theme. There will be giveaways, discounts, refreshments and just good conversation.

As always, we bring fun 'smalls' into the shop and our OWLS are no exceptions...these cuties come and go QUICKLY! See you soon!

Is it SPRING yet???

It's getting there. The sunshine outside the shop is bringing people in. Love visiting with our regulars and those people passing by with curiosity.

We can't stress enough our passion for doing what we are doing. We (my wonderfully talented hubby and I) love making something new again. PERFECT example of a latest piece...

You wouldn't have known this piece was left for the landfill. My husband is a woodworker and was able to give this dresser new life.

One of the drawers had so much "repair" that it was not worth saving. There were a few busted up spots here and there that my husband was able to remove/repair. But the biggest damage was the left front leg. Most would have never given this piece a second thought....but WE did.

Like all our other refurbs, this too will not be here long. Can't wait to see the smiling face of the new owner. :)

waiting on spring...

It's coming, I'm sure...just a little impatient. I can't wait for the Indiana weather to break and give me some sunny days and nice breezes for my furniture refurbishing to get into FULL SWING. Here are a few fun tables and stuff that we recently brought in. There are a few things left.

Just in...

This sweet twin bed goes great with this refurbished little side table. Priced seperately, these just happen to go well as they both seem to sit lower than the average bed and table. Stop in and check them out if you have a child that is ready for the "big bed".

Unique Repurpose!

I wish I had taken a 'before' pic of the TWO pieces of shipping crates that wwere used for this creation. Just by stacking them (attaching with wood screws), adding sturdy castors and giving it a paint and distressed treatment we now have a VERY unique coffee table! I found an old advertising image online, I do not speak spanish but liked the wording so I used my overhead projector and strategically hand painted it on. Definetly one-of-a-kind.





*please excuse the off color, for some reason the brighter image refuses to darken to the 'true' color. It's rather an 'army green' color.

PERSONALIZATION.

We plan to offer different forms of personalizing on our merchandise for OUR customers. From etching initials on glassware to stenciling a name across one of our shabby'd up desks! Would LOVE to have some input or suggestions as this is something we truly wish to expand on. Here are a couple pieces we just brought in and you might guess....they are *SOLD....already. Whew! :)




Here are a few vintage things added in shop today! The pewter colored train is a bank from 1974.

latest add....

Just in...hubby so nicely delivered this beautiful buffet. what's NOT to love about a pop of color?! A must see!

I had some great company today and I must thank Cindy at Cottage Instincts for coming in to help me fluff the merchandise and add many fun touches of her own crafty-ness! :) Oh yes, she WILL be back soon.

October...cruising right along...

Yes, I know it's ONLY the 4th. I also know that I have brought several furniture and decor pieces in the last two days and they flew right back out the door to their new homes. I love it but I need to stop getting my creative hopes up at displaying my items. lol





I couple cute tables didn't even get to 'smile for the camera' as they were bought before I could get my camera out. Oh well, I am SURE they are in a happy home now. I heard some ladies traveled a little distance to visit my shop. If they are reading this, I hope they come back so I can meet them some time. I LOVE meeting people that visit our shop.

Off to work on another refurbishing project...or two. :)

Have a CREATIVE day!

It's looking bare...

I couldn't be more thankful. I continue to adjust my priorities with my new shop and home...and replentishing my shop....and keeping up with household tasks. I HAD to take a nap today so I can focus. I am getting there but I feel like my shop is naked. lol

This creamy round side table is the newest piece. It's a record, it's been in shop for three days. lol





We offer our customers ORIGINAL and local artwork! If you are looking for a specific color scheme or image let us know!



have a creative day...

Faster than I can post...

As I've stated before, things are going to come and go...Many of these items are already gone as I put these in on Saturday at open and by close of day our fantastic customers picked the shop over. We can't stress enough that we are constantly restocking, changing things up in shop so most days things will look totally diferent with each visit. :)
