new mirrors

 Though I would show some new mirrors in the shop.This one you have seen before but it is in again ...just love it.
 This one is new.......love the old window look!!!
 Took this with the flash on next one was without.

 This one has a little window box attached to it, sweet.
This one is like an old set of rusty gates.They actually close and a latch holds it tight.Very nice!
So there you go some newies in the shop this wek.Hope you enjoyed.Have a great weekend !

moved the shop around a bit.....

 Before we moved the counter

Now it is up the back...unfortunately i had to move it to where i could see the whole shop as i have had quite a few thefts...which happens i guess! Now we have cameras installed up front and back as well so that should help.
view from the rear of the shop
Might need some rugs or mats for these chilly months coming up !Have a great day!

latest window display

 Hello everyone....changed one of the window displays today.....what do you think?
 I made a slip cover for this chair over Easter weekend...underneath it is a lovely" baby poo" colour velvet....urrrgh!Much prettier now.Did make a ruffle cushion to match but it sold before i had a chance to take a photo
 The photo makes it look lilac but it's actually a dark dusty pink.This was my first attempt at a slip cover.
These shutters I picked up from a second hand store and I hinged them together for a screen.They were already the softest prettiest green....what a great find! They will be handy to section off bit's of the shop etc.
That's all for today
See you next time

quick post today between customers....................just adore these mini milk bottles in the shop at the moment.Would look lovely with a rose bud in them or some ribbon tied around their necks.Also picked up the vase in the background.Think it might have been a carafe originally but for now it's perfect for a bunch of flowers.
Have a great weekend everyone!

friday....again!


soft, gentle roses......nice way to start the day.

Hello again, another week has passed by too quickly and I must say this week was a bit of a doozy for me!

You know how us gals just keep going and going....not stopping for even a second to smell the roses?

And we get so wound up in routines,appointments, running kids here and there, not even pausing to appreciate the simple lovely and beautiful things in life.
Is'nt it crazy?
So I am going to stop and take a deep breath.........and  be grateful for all I have in my life.....agghhh that's better!!!!



Now onto business.....



Changed one of the front window's yesterday.This beautiful wrought iron setting is new in.Love the heart shaped backs on the chairs.Recognise the door as the back drop?
I screwed in a couple of brackets to make it stand on it's own.Will come in so handy for different display ideas.This is the view from inside the shop looking out to the road.I also have over the back there a chandelier hanging from a birdcage stand.They come in handy.

Another birdcage stand that was black and I spray painted.It  has a candlelabra on it.Put it against the wood so it stands out.

And will finish with some more roses, soap this time.Got these in for the ladies at the Rose Festival.It's on in Goulburn this weekend(about an hour south of where we are)Might be popping down there for a look.
So have a great weekend everyone
Catch you next time

 Hello again....another Friday!!!It goes toooo fast .....here are some pic's of some more goodies.Love this wire shelf.Does'nt do it justice on the shop wall colour
 Closer detail...took pic with the flash so you can see the hooks and scroll work...yum!
 It's sitting above this sideboard at the moment....was going to paint this but needed it to fill a blank spot in the shop, so will see if I get around to it one day!
 On top of the sideboard is some old china and glass bit's and pieces.
 Love the little crystal spoons and the little glass milk jugs...sooo cute!
This is a sticky note pad with pen set......is'nt the picture on the front adorable? I hope you get to have some giggles with your girlfriends or family this weekend!!!!!
