Longer than a Week.
So, it’s been longer than a week since our last newsletter and hopefully you didn't notice. But if you did this is why we're late: As usual, life is just full of little surprises and this time it dished out a doozey of one when it gave me a non-animal named disease. Actually it was severe sinus infection and just to make sure it kept me down, I had a stomach problem to boot. I know. This is way too much information.


New Merchandise Again!
Yes, this past week we were able to add more merchandise to the site and believe it or not, this group has a lot of wow factors for a change. As an example; how about this very cool Native American hand woven basket? Age is unknown, as is the origin.


Or perhaps you’re interested in antiques. In that case, we have a 100 year old bowl by Alfred Meakin in the Tea Leaf design. Amazingly, this bowl hasn't lost it's sheen in all of these years. This is only a very small sampling and I think if you peruse most categories you'll find, with the exception of clothing, a lot of new merchandise to pique your interest. And for all of you looking for clothing we'll be adding new merchandise in Women's and Children's clothing this week, including another group of Limited Too items. If time allows, we have more merchandise to add to other categories this week as well.



As promised, below are the instructions on a craft project to make your own floral art:
Decorating for Less
This is our second installment in Decorating for Less. This week we're going to show you how a scanner and some flowers can give you instant art.


Instant Art, Always in Bloom - These DIY garden prints add a lot of charm for not a lot of money.

So, you've been eyeing that set of framed botanical prints but just can't swallow the price. Or perhaps you love plants, but 19th-century engravings clash with your style. We've discovered it's surprisingly easy, and stylistically liberating, to produce stunning contemporary botanicals from your home computer. At left, a Gerbera daisy is transformed into a color graphic when copied as a transparency in a flatbed scanner.

We hope you enjoyed this week's blog and that you'll let your friends know about us.

Have a wonderful and safe Memorial Weekend!
