Almost February....wow!

I always love January, somehow it brings newness and closure to the previous year. We have organized our seasonal items and packed them away. 
We have been doing some cleansing, deep cleaning and of course, creating new items for upcoming Valentines season.

 I do enjoy Valentines day, I'm not sure why exactly, other than it usually involves chocolate and beauty....here are some of the items I've been making

A great start to a New Year

I can't believe how long its been since I have posted on my blog. That is a sign of a very busy season. Yes indeed we are feeling Blessed! 2012 was the best year we have ever had, thanks to our wonderful customers!
We made it through the Christmas season and are organizing and planning for the coming year. We enjoyed our month at The Monticello immensely. What a fun and inspiring Christmas show.  We were amazed also at our home store... Glory Days Antiques here in Eugene/Springfield, This was the busiest season ever.
Apart from business, we are enjoying our kiddos, Grand Babies and and good health. Hope all of you are enjoying a great start to the new year! 

Its beginning to look alot like Christmas ( At least at our house )

    Our open house at Glory Days Antiques went fabulously and we are continuing to restock daily. This was a great kick off to the Christmas season.

    Next up is the Monticello Christmas Show //monticelloantiques.blogspot.com/  show the week after Thanksgiving. We are crazily working to get things completely restocked before the sale. This is a wonderful sale and if you haven't been to the Monticello, you are really missing out. It is such a fun store with lots of magazine quality inspiration. Hope to see you there!
