New jewelry......

Check out all of the wonderful jewelry that has been added to booth E23 this week. My mother in law sent these things to my daughter so that she can get started on a business of her own - a truly lovely gesture that has made her very excited. Be sure to stop by and check it all out.

Easter Eggs and wallpaper....



I was reading an old edition of Martha Stewart Living and really enjoyed an article she had on using wallpaper to jazz things up around your house. I started searching for wallpaper to go in my booths. It is already selling well. You can find a selection in either booth. I also found these fabulous hand decorated eggs and some cute little white baskets to put them in. Also available at either booth.

Dress up anyone?


Over the weekend I had fun dressing up these dressforms - I totally got in touch with my inner little girl. You can find these items in booth E16 at the Treasure Shoppe in downtown Colorado Springs. All of the dressforms on the wall can also be purchased online at www.creativeplaydays.com.

Cups and tin signs...



The cups made it into the booth along with a couple of cute little tables I found. I love stacking the little pieces of furniture and then hiding the smaller treasures around them. I also found a couple of cute tin signs that I put inside a fabulous wall unit that Aimee brought into the booth. You can see all our finds in person at booth E23 at American Classics Marketplace.

Easter time....


Easter time is getting closer. Come check out the bunnies.

From drab to fab.....




I did some work on the new booth today. I have got to say that a can of paint and an old chenille blanket have made a world of difference.
