A collection of beds, and sale continues through Saturday, April 2.... UPDATE APRIL 3: THIS SALE IS OVER!

Pre-Script: We're continuing our 10%-off-everything-and-then-some-sale through the end of the week, April 2, not just the end of March. Doesn't make sense not to fill out the week. So, come by and see what's here! I am enjoying giving out cups of Davidson's organic tea to our shoppers, and am eating way too many of the Danish butter cookies myself.

I wish I could show you a flower bed out front, but not yet. Although Pamela is in the middle of doing a folk art painting of flowers and birds on a chunky coffee table out on the sidewalk, I can only show you this "before" photo:

It already looks much better than this, and we're eager to see what Pamela has in her creative mind's eye.

In lieu of flower beds, let me show you the beds on sale at 10%-25% off this week:

First, 2 dark queens...

Vintage Broyhill queen sleigh bed. $425 before 15% sale discount this week.

Thornwood Furniture's Mendocino queen panel bed. Like new. Started at $595 before 25% discount this week. Two matching dressers also available.

Then, two light-hearted twinsize pieces...

Cheerful white wicker headboard, $48 before 10% sale discount.

Elegant hardwood 4-poster canopy bed, here shown set up as day bed. Bed is $225 before 15% discount this week. Includes wooden 4-poster frame, metal canopy, metal rails, box springs and mattress (secondhand in very good condition). This little window retreat is one of my favorite places to sit in the shop these days.UPDATE: SOLD.

Theo's and Thornwood, chocolate in 2 formats

Our very cheerful Fedex driver pulled up this morning and what he brought was indeed good cheer: our order of Theo's Sipping Chocolate and Chipotle Sipping Chocolate. These are destined for our new venture, Kenmore Coffee & Tea, which is the coffee kiosk in the parking lot next to the Post Office. Hope to be open there within the week, Lord willing. So you'll be able to get your morning beverage there on the go, or come into The Living Room and "set a spell".

And what does Thornwood have to do with chocolate?
Just the color of this queen bedroom set that was brought in a couple of days ago:


This is Thornwood's Mendocino set in "vintage mahogany" finish. Not sure why the photo makes that one drawer look darker; the vagaries of my photography, I guess.

Other pieces in this set include 2 nightstands, a 6-drawer dresser with a landscape mirror (shown here up-ended), and of course, the queen bed with its panel headboard and footboard, shaped wooden rails, and complete metal bedframe. Quite the set up.



If you are looking for a nearly-new, contemporary bedroom set, come see this one.

And try the new sipping chocolate while you sit and consider!
