Our Spring Event, Seven States in Seven Days was so much fun! We worked late into the night bringing in all of our treasures and when we opened the doors the next morning, a line of anxious loyal customers awaited! Things went quickly . . . but I wanted to share some photos taken the morning of. (Thanks Kim for the great photos!)
Strings of lights connected glass window frames to our tall ceilings, creating an exterior garden atmosphere. We brought in real potted plants and fresh cut wildflowers to bring life to our garden finds.
Our spring event was last week - and everyday we continue to bring in new things. Today I took some photos of the store and our current inventory.
I love this lamp (there are a pair) which is made from an old stool base. The lamp is hand made and one of a kind.

These soy candles make a perfect and unique gift. The all natural soy candle is poured into an old French wine bottle. Each one is unique.

We found this collection of Civil War books (dated 1881) in Tennessee. There are 10 books in the collection.

Isn't this bar table fabulous? The top is made from an old zinc clock face! The bar stools are handmade in Dallas and are covered in a feed sack like fabric.

Isn't this old concrete statue precious?! I love his cracked head - we laugh the he has a headache.

Also from Oklahoma, this Eames era sculpture of a beautiful dandelion makes for a perfect conversation piece.

To end . . .
It is hard to see it's charm in this photo of this very old see-saw from Springfield, MO. Mom and I spent some time "resting" on it as we rocked back and forth. It didn't take long before we both agreed that it had to make the trip back to with us. Now looking for the perfect home as garden art or ready to be loved again by playing children.
Antique See-Saw $550
You never disappoint...Love it all!

Hello, I recently visited your shop with my sister Becca Gatewood and Tom Motely. The food was outstanding! I also purchased a bracelet made from old belts with a flat oval piece of silver on it with the word "forgive" stamped in it. Can you tell me how to purchase another one. My email is vardashouse@yahoo.com Thank you!
