The first of the summer months is here! Break out the hot tea!

Yes, June 1st, mild and rainy. A good day for some hot tea.

The Living Room is about as packed with cuteness as it can be. Please come and bring a friend who has yet to experience The Living Room; enjoy a cup of Davidson's organic fine in our eclectic surroundings.

Here's a recent consignment: a 3-year old, espresso-finish, dining room ensemble:

Oops! That's something smaller. How small? About the size of a breadbox. Wait, it is a breadbox. Which for the record is as big as 16" x 12" x 10". Oak, priced $22.

OK, back to that dining room set from Klaussner Furniture's Mocoa collection. $895 for all: china cabinet with hutch, table with extending leaf, and 6 chairs. This is a great price because we need to move it out to make room for new consignments coming:

54" wide x 18" deep x 80" tall.
China cabinet base sits on black metal legs &grid.
Hutch features mirrors, lighting, stemware racks.

6 oversized, microfiber-covered chairs

42" x 60" table with 18" leaf

Is everybody blogging pictures of snow?

Snowy view from The Living Room Consignment & Tea, looking toward our espresso kiosk this afternoon. Kenmore Coffee & Tea (can you tell we're related?) is the small building to the right. Not much to look at yet, but the Kenmore outlet for Kuma Coffee's truly wonderful espresso!

Meanwhile, inside The Living Room, it's a cozier picture. We've moved things around as one hutch sold and another hutch was consigned:



If I can slide little Toyota down the hill safely tomorrow, I will see you at The Living Room!

Double dipping allowed here

We've been doing double duty, getting Kenmore Coffee & Tea up and running (and it IS as of today!). That means The Living Room has gotten a little disheveled. Does that happen at your house, too? Gnomes come in while you are busy doing other things, and just trash the place.

But now that our super baristas are settling into their routines in the little kiosk down at the other end of the parking lot, making amazing espresso drinks, tea, and chocolate, etc., it is time for me to spiff things up again in The Living Room.

Laurie did SUCH wonders in here just last week, with her wonderful way of seemingly just walking around the room, creating beauty in her wake. I remember the pleasure of witnessing that as if it were yesterday. Wait a minute, it was yesterday (practically). But you'd hardly know it now. This room really is living; consignments move in and out; people shop, visit, pray, clear a table and share lunch.... So, the entropy war is ongoing.

Do stop by Kenmore Coffee & Tea on your way through Kenmore: 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. Of course, you can bring your KCT latte or tea into The Living Room! And I'm still making Keurig coffee and tea here, as well.

What's the use of a blog without pictures? (to paraphrase Alice just before she found herself in Wonderland) So here are some shots I snapped of our sorta-new displays of "smalls", as Wayne Stephens at Armadillo Consignment calls this sort of thing:



Enjoy :^)
