Making changes

We've been very busy here at the store. It always seems that once you to decide to rearrange one display the others don't look quite so good and need to be redone also. Which is good because things seem fresh and new when changed around.I love this shelf. We had it here in the store for quite a while leaning against a wall and no seemed interested. Late one night I got the idea to hang it and keep it as a display piece. Well, it's a lot heavier than it seems so after several L brackets and three people to hang it, it was finally up on the wall. And as luck would have it, so many people have wanted to buy it.We have had three of these hutches in the store on consignment. I like this hutch because you can use it no matter what your decorating tastes are.
This Geranium arrangement that Melissa made is a favorite of mine. I went a little crazy with the Geranium bushes that Karen over at my colonial home found on sale at JoAnn's fabric store. I can never pass up a good sale.I love these "Love Much, Laugh Often" hearts that a new consignor recently brought in. She also has several other prim pieces that I will be posting pics of later. We were excited when she contacted us about bringing things in. We like to buy locally whenever possible.
That's all for today folks, thank you so much for stopping by.
Till next time,
