Fall Open House

It is that time of year again, and I am so happy for the opportunity to still be here for the Fall and Christmas season, the last few months have been a struggle with the economy and it has been a little touch and go, so a big THANK YOU to all my customers who have continued to support the store and who turned out for the Fall Open House!!!! I closed for two days prior and rearranged the entire store. What a job, it is like opening all over again. I had help from my friend Sharon Dean and Pam Lenderman, THANKS ladies I couldn't have done it with out you! Here are some photos of the new look...........and some great new items....
We tried to make little vignettes in each section.





These bottles have been a big hit.




Great new lotions and soaps from K.hall Designs

Decorated Bath Towels

A wonderful black and white area.


Kids area with lots of frames, animals and of course pillows...

I made these kitchen towels with "the vintage home" logo and gave as gifts to my customers.
Here is Jayne Cline one of my favorite customers, who came with some really good food!

And Teana Compeau who also made some really good food, and some brownies to die for, I was telling everyone they were no good so there would be lots left for ME!!!! Holly and Eris are in the back ground two women in business for themselves and doing a jam up job!!!
My two new friends Dan and John who have moved here from Charlotte and are opening Wilkestone over in North Wilkesboro, will blog about them in more detail later.

Thanks to everyone who made this evening such a success, people are already asking about a Christmas party...stay tuned

Well my dear friends Jug and Kim Shumate packed up with me and we headed to Hillsville Va, for their annual Flea Market. It was a very interesting four days, and an expierence I won't soon forget. We had a good time and met some great folks too. Here are a few pictures of our booth and the fun that went on.....
