HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!





Happy Anniversary to "the vintage home"Wow! I can't believe it has been 1 year since we opened the store..... I look at this picture and just get a huge smile on my face, seeing Kim, my best friend and then partner and the store behind us looking so good. What a great time of reflection not only for the store but with the relationships with my dearest friends who have been on this journey and all the great new people who have come into my life through the store. A ton of hard work and sleepless nights ( that hasn't changed) and reinventing the store every few months it has been quite an experience, and I would do it all again!!!! I am very grateful to all involved and pray that we can all still be here in another year.

Working hard to knock down, paint and glaze the walls.

Talia








One of my favorite places in Wilkes County is Talia, a bistro style coffee house nestled in the heart of downtown North Wilkesboro. They serve Coffee, espressos, lattes, dessert and a seasonal menu of sandwiches, quiche ,pasta and much more. It is owned and operated by my dear friends Jim and Kathy Kozak, whom I met when I first moved here , and have been kind, encouraging and always very supportive of me. They have opened there hearts, home, family and know their business to me. They wanted to help my store get more exposure and suggested that I put some of the items on display. I think it looks great and hope it will do well there and create a sense of excitement for people to come and shop with me. Here are some pictures of the merchandise I displayed with them.







As always THANK YOU Jim and Kathy for all that you do for me....ILY guys!!!!
