Aisles are nice...

Kathleen and Chris helped recreate aisles today. Such a relief. We've found customers prefer aisles to climbing over stacks of furniture.

And speaking of furniture, here are a few of the pieces that came in today:

A very practical and handsome pine table with 4 chairs:

Don't know if you can see the sweep of the table legs; they've got a sort of Asian flair to them.

This little wooden chair was brought in by a woman who bought it at a garage sale in Wedgwood about 30 years ago from someone who'd gotten it secondhand over 70 years ago. The short legs are the original design; it was to set by the fireplace.


Beautiful maple quilt rack made by Tell City:

Spotlight on New Treasures

Here are a handful of goodies that deserve your attention. They're on our flickr site, but in case you haven't been there lately, or missed these in the wealth stored there, here they are in the blog spotlight:


A child's baby buggy for a favorite doll. This is a faithful reproduction, not antique. Without my tape measure here, I recall it's about 30 inches long, maybe 18" high at the basket edge.


A rustic pine shelf, made in Mexico. In our shop, this not-new but like-new bookcase is less than half the price of new.


Margo got this set up and oiled today, so we know it can sew. Again, a faithful reproduction, not an antique.


Anne Marie's Treats are so cute and so cleverly packaged, more than one customer has asked if they are real cupcakes. Yes, they are real! We're keeping our cupcake price low to reward our hard-working shoppers...after 3 strolls around the store they are still discovering new treasures to exclaim over.
