Scarlett's Top 5 Picks for the New Year.

Phew! Finally done with the hustle and bustle of the holidays...... Oh wait New Years is still to come!! We have some great year round items for you to start the New Year off with.

This mirror would look great in the powder room or two above his and her sinks. ($95.00) We have several available.

This table would look fabulous in the dinning room. Do not be fooled, this table is 10ft long, and it came from a dry goods store in West Tennessee. Just think of how many people you could seat at this table during your next meal.($1,950.00)

 

Why not dine and be comfortable? These chairs are comfortable and stylish and would encourage long conversations and great times after a great meal. ($625.00)

These column prints would look great over the mantle to add some architectural interest.
 ($85.00 each)

Two of these chandeliers would look great over that 10ft table.  Or just opt for a single one and use over a not so long table or even in an entry hall. The wood and metal design with the great zinc finish make these chandeliers a unique twist to the traditional empire style chandelier.($645.00 each)

Make one of your new year's resolutions getting some new ideas right here at our shop. No more resolutions? That's ok stop in and see us anyway.

Sincerely,

Scarlett

 This is a unique chandelier first, I love the shade, and the paint detail is great. This would look so wonderful in the dining room. ($425.00)

 Just rolled in, this is an awesome chrome kitchen cart. I love the color, and another great thing is that it can roll wherever you want it. ($110.00)

 

 Our next item is a balustrade that has great form and we made it into a lamp. This would be nice on a sofa table. (Lamp $225.00) (Shade $44.00)

 These are so cute. We have two hobnail vases I'm loving this turquoise color right now. Just insert your own flowers. ($28.00 each)

 Last bust not least we have several antique radios throughout the store that have an awesome retro design. They would look fantastic in a library or on a book shelf. ($48.00 and up)

"These are a few of Scarletts Favorite Things"

Brown paper packages tied up with string my name is Scarlett, and these are a few of my favorite things. It's about that time again when Thanksgiving is over and it is time to decorate for Christmas. I have picked out some great products from my store that would bring a touch of the winter holiday to your home.

We have an adorable selection of little glitter houses that also light up on the inside perfect for the Christmas tree. ($9.00)

We have different sizes of these burlap bags that look great a tree inside and you make it even more holiday if you add little lights or garland. (starting at $8.00 and up)

We also sell a set of 12 gift enclosures and each one is individually printed on a vintage letterpress using late 19th and early 20th century engraving. ($14.00 each set) 

 This is a great alternative tree topper to the usual star. I love the glitter detail and that the shape is a poinsettia. ($12.00)

 Lastly we have a great strand of garland that has what looks like the vintage glass ornaments. This would look great on the tree shelf or even a mantel. ($7.00)

Before going into the attic come over and see what we have done for the Christmas season you may find something you don't have.

Scarlett

Scarlett's five picks.... for a hostess

Lets face it, Thanksgiving is around the corner and Christmas is next month. I am sure that many of you will be attending parties or hosting some yourself. Of course, the infamous question would probably be what should I give to the hostess as a thank you? I have been asked this question from customers at the shop and here are my top five pics that would be great for a gift.

This Ironstone Bowl is a great gift and very useful for the holidays and much more. ($34.00)

 

 Since there will be wrapping of presents soon who likes running out of ribbon? Personally I would love to receive burlap ribbon as a gift even. There are so many things you can do with it including putting it on the Christmas tree. ($18.00)

 Soap is a great gift and we have several options to choose from. Also, it is made in California. ($8.00 each)

   

We all know how presentation is a big deal. This gift would be great for a hostess to have. They are beautiful cheese boards made out of marble. They are great for serving many types of  hors d'oeuvres.($40.00-$48.00)

Lastly we have a great variety of  vintage and modern mother of pearl utensils. Not only are they great for the table but also as great gift option as well. (starting at $7.00 and up)

I hope that this will be helpful when deciding on what to give your next hostess come by and see us at the store. There is a big possibility that there are more options than what I post.    

       

Hope to see you soon
