Look of Blog

So bear with me. I am trying to update the look of my Blog with this great free service I found. However there is one step I can't figure out....How do I shrink my template to Minima???? Once I get it it will be cool. Now its just a little bazaar. If anyone knows how to do this let me know....

Open this weekend for Fall Art Tour

This weekend is the Fall Art Tour Weekend


http://www.fallarttour.com/html/home.php in this part of the state. It is supposed to be a beautiful weekend and the artist's work is always amazing so it is a great event and always a good way to start getting ideas for Christmas and support local artisans.

So in honor of this I want to do my first Special! All glasses will be 20% off this Saturday and Sunday. Check out some of the selection above and below. There is something that will fit any Vintage,Retro, or Shabby table setting. There are more I couldn't get on here. Must be at my limit for a blog post???. Any questions leave me a comment or of course come on in this weekend. I will be open 10-5 both days. kath

Some Fall Fun Shopping

The weather is amazing here now. It is in the high 70's?! Unheard of around here by the middle of October. I made the best of it by shopping. I hit an estate sale on my lunch on Friday and then on Sunday we kept up a family tradition by going to Gays Mills for Apples. Gays Mills is in a beautiful area of Wisconsin with rolling hills all in their Fall glory and apple orchards everywhere.

We hit our favorite onehttp://www.sunriseapples.com/. They have everything you could ever want and more. The apple donuts are to die for and warm from the oven....

On the way through the city of Gays Mills we noticed a green house/floral shop advertising vintage and antiques. Sooo of course after our apple adventure we popped on in. SCORE! It was a space that was using the green houses for antique mall space after the growing season was over. So smart.

It was down and dirty but treasures everywhere. Here are a couple of pictures of both of the shopping trips. I am cleaning them up and adding them to my shop for the upcoming Fall Art Tour http://www.fallarttour.com/ this weekend.

Hope to see you there or as ever if you see anything here you would like to purchase just pop me a note and we help you out.

Show and Tell

I have had so much fun today! I had a fairly free day and after reading some VERY inspirational Blogs I went to work on my shop. Halloween is starting. I may be a little late but I figure its a month and a half away. Check out my pics.I wasn't able to have my open house this Saturday but after having so much fun today I have decided I am going to do an evening open house this month on the last thursday in September.
Edited to change the open house date. Now Oct 2nd. 5:30 - 8.

hope to see lots of you on thursday. kath

Red wine and chocolate treats I think to go with the Holiday. All Hallows Eve has never been my favorite but I think I may be changing my mind. What do you think? Leave me a note and tell how you like my little nod to the creepies.....kath

Show and Tell Monday

I am finally getting it together to do a Show and Tell along with many of the great ladies at Make Mine Pink.com. This way we share with each other and all of you what we are working on. I had my August Open House on Saturday. Thanks to all of you that stopped on by. I have added lots of great linens, and a fall feeling is starting to creep in. Enjoy the pictures, and if you are near Mineral Point WI. Saturday, Sept 6 stop by and check us out. We will be having our Sept Open House then. We are at 319 n chestnut st. As always, if you see anything you would like, but can't make it in, pop me a note, or make a comment here and we'll make arrangements to get it to you.
Later, kath

Focus on Linens

It's time for the August Open House. It will be this Saturday August 16th from 10-5. I have a bunch of new linens and textiles for you to see and add to your collection or even start a new one. Wait until you see the Victorian unmentionables I found. I'll post some pictures in the morning. I've done some new set ups so those are always fun.

See you on Saturday.

The Summer Open House

So the summer is flying by. We have been lucky here in our little corner of Wisconsin that we have not had all of the extreme weather that others have been plagued by. The gardens are looking lush and beautiful and we have been able to do lots of grilling.

I finally had another open house last weekend. It was good to see old and new faces. Hope you enjoy the pictures. I am also finally putting one in of our "empty nesting" child. Her name is Samantha and she is around 2 we think. We got her from the Iowa County Humane Society. http://www.ichs.net/ . They are a great group and have wonderful and well taken care of animals. They really work to match you up with the right pet for you.

Miss Sammy has given us a new focus and is a much loved new member of the family.

I will try to post more soon. If any of you ever want to purchase anything you see here just email me or check my new web site. I am just starting to work on it.
