More November Merchandise

November is turning out to be one of my best months at the store, so thanks to everyone for spreading the word, and coming out to the shop!  This post is going to be a combination photos from my space and other artists in the store.  There's still one day left of this month's sales.  (Sunday, November 21st) Then we will be open the first AND second weekend in December!  Enjoy the pics below.

This is a gorgeous Wrought Iron Bell that I found.  My fellow shop owner, Brandy, added  the "Jingle Bells", which really completes the look.  You can see more of Brandy's great works of art in pics below.

This old steamer trunk was given to me by my mother and father in-law. 

I made this lamp out of a telescope & copper pipes!

 I absolutely love this dresser!  It's such a beautiful royal blue color.  

I painted the top dark chocolate brown.

I also painted the hardware dark chocolate brown.  Notice the cool accents on the side?  
This dresser sold today!

This sled was used by my hubby when he was a baby!  This one's not for sale, as 
it's a great family heirloom, but thought it would look cool in the store.

Amanda, the founder of Mama's Happy is selling this beautiful Foreman's Desk.  It is probably one of the coolest pieces I've seen in the store!  The accent lamps on top, are for sale by yours truely!

I love this fireplace display!  The two candleabras are mine, which I made out of the base of a citronella tiki torch and some beautiful blue glass votives.  Look how the blue in the painting pops with the blue in the candleabras!


Here's a cute little hanging shelf that has some wrought iron accents.  The accent lamp is made out of punched tin, and has a cute little rooster on the top. 


I can't believe this chair hasn't been snatched up yet!  It's in great condition and is move in ready!  Pair it with this cute plaid pillow made by my friend Jenna.

Here is a full shot of my space, taken tonight a half hour after we closed.  This is the third time I had rearranged my space, because my big pieces of furniture kept flying out the door!  This is a high class problem to have in retail : )


Below, are more photos of some amazing artist creations.

Brandy, who helped add the finishing touches to my bell, has wonderful custom built pieces in her space.  This red coat locker with bench is just awesome!  

Brandy makes custom signs as well as pre-made signs that she sells in the store.

This would be a great addition to any hockey lover's room!  The desk is painted in MN Wild Colors, and the drawer pulls are actual hockey pucks!  The chair is also covered with a repurposed MN Wild T-shirt.

I love this piece!   It's a chicken coop.  I told my husband I wanted it and he said, great but you know what we have to buy after you buy that?  Chickens of course!  I think I'll pass on this piece and let another chicken lover buy it.

I like to call this the grand hallway.  This is what it looks like when you walk in the front door.

Check out this fireplace setting.  The mirror above the mantle is a two way mirror.  Someone in the store today was wondering why someone would need this in their home, to spy on guests from the other side of the wall?  Folks, it's not that kind of two way mirror!  It's quite clever actually.  You place your flat screen tv behind it, and when you turn the tv on, you can watch it through the mirror.  When you turn the tv off, it just looks like a mirror!

Another pic of the grand hallway!  This entryway into the main part of the store is reminiscent of the library scenes from Gone With The Wind. 
Look at these cool hanging lamps!  Why can't I take everything home with me?! 

The coveted card catalogue.  Oh Amanda, I covet thee!


Cute little bar cart.

This is the coolest wine/booze cabinet!  Yes, I said booze.  Whataya expect, I'm from South Dakota!

This is a tall pub/bistro table in my neighbor, Sandy's space.  By neighbor, I mean my store neighbor. Well, that's it for now.  Hope you enjoyed your visit.  Please stop by and check out what's coming up for next months sale.  Happy Holidays!

Two days until Nov sale!

I'm ready for the November Sale. This is my biggest month yet!
I've really pumped up the inventory for this month, 
so if you haven't made it out to the shop, you really should 
come check it out.  We are having a girls night out on Thursday night
if you're interested in a little vino, and night time shopping : ) I'll also 
be working all day Saturday, so I hope to see you there!  Enjoy these
sneak previews of my space.
