White Love and a Birthday Sale!

Though some people may argue that white is not a color, I argue that not only is it a really GREAT color, it makes a very powerful statement.  Before we opened our etsy store I had not heard of treasuries.  Almost immediately after setting up shop our items began being featured in treasuries.  The best treasuries make a beautiful collective statement.  But I always get a thrill when we are featured in an all white treasury.  This kind of treasury is speaking my language!

Curator: The Wrap Around Porch

I had to share this treasury because I figured if I could stare at it all day, you might like to also. For those of you with etsy stores, do you use treasuries often?  I have only made one, but when I see our things featured in such lovely collections it makes me want to rush out and make one. . . or maybe go out and buy myself a birthday present! (This curator has created a couple other treasuries worth checking out also.)

Speaking of our etsy store and birthdays (since mine was yesterday), we are having a sale Now through Sunday in our etsy store.  Take 10% off your purchase with the coupon code: Spring.   And if you see something that has already been sold that you would like to purchase, send us a message--we may be able to re-create it and include it in the sale.

Happy Birthday to me and happy shopping to you!

***If you are local, Camas Antiques is throwing its own birthday celebration this weekend to celebrate 7  years in business.  Our items will be 10% off there as well.  Friday and Saturday cake will be served and the first 50 customers each day will receive a gift, courtesy of Camas Antiques. ***

Debut!

 For years I have enjoyed decorating my home and helping others when they sought me out. But when I started getting the urge to buy and make things I didn't really have room for, I decided it was time to share all the things I love with you.  But as a the sixth child in a family of eight I have a tendency to rope others into my project because two heads are better than one--and having company is always more fun.

As my cohort and partner, Lisa has accompanied me on decor related missions and shares a love of all things white, vintage and fresh.  Together we wish to share with you the things we love in hopes that you will find something to take home as a representation of your own personal aesthetic.

After a month or so of hard work (that was actually quite fun), our little business had its first debut last Saturday.

 In the end, not everything was finished, so our collection was not large, but I have to say we were both very pleased by the positive response.  My favorite was made by a woman who walked into our little booth, smiled and stated: "Oh, I could live in here!"

"Please do!" was our response.  "Or better yet, take it home to live with you."

And that is what we hope you'll do.

Either way, we are enjoying ourselves finding, making, and making over things we love.

Feel free to visit our booth for the remaining Saturdays in September at the Battle Ground Village Outdoor Market.  Or visit our etsy shop.
