Price mark-downs in Rosie's Corner

Rosie's Corner has moved to an actual corner in the shop, and to celebrate, she's got just about everything marked down to make room for a new wave of her secondhand treasures. Rosie always has more unique finds just waiting for their spot in her charming little corner of The Living Room!

From Sheila's Tea Ministry: new consignments you will enjoy

Our friend Sheila has taken us up on the offer of consigning for charity. Here are some items from her first batch. Nice, huh? Her consignments support a tea-party ministry she does with a friend, offering respite and a spot of beauty to women needing encouragement in life. 

If you want a boost, ask Sheila to tell you some of her "God-stories" about how the Lord Jesus arranges personal blessings above and beyond what she and Jeanette lovingly plan for their guests.

Weather worth waiting for. New consignments inside, as well.

Glorious clouds over Kenmore, April 2011

Waiting in the doorway to wave in a consignor who was finding us for the first time, I was blessed by the beauty of the April sky. Amazing that a little camera can capture such a good representation of this glory.

Meanwhile, back in the shop, we're pushing things around, as usual, to make room for items coming and going. Here are some of the new "comings":
