WOW!! A WEEKEND TO REMEMBER

"At Home With White" 
A dream come true for everyone at the shop.  This was one of the most exciting things that we have ever experienced at the shop.  The anticipation was electric as everyone waited for the show to start. 

My best friend (and best customer) Donna, arrived very early, was sure to be the first in line. 

The line was starting to form.  It was almost time to start the show.

Karen, a vision in white herself, tends to one of her fabulous vignettes, before the show began.

 Jo-Anne Coletti, from a Vintage Rose Collection, made a special trip just to be with us.   Thanks, Jo-Anne, it's always a pleasure to see you.

 The displays were over the top. 

Jeannie painted this beautiful dresser.  Everyone was fighting over it. 


My husband, Ray, was such a big help.  Thank you honey!!

Karen, from A Shabby Moment in Time, had a fantastic space. 

Sandi from, A Cottage Muse, had the first space in the tent.  What a lovely and welcoming way to enter the show.

There's Karen, from A Shabby Moment in Time, in her booth.  She created some wonderful garden items.

Diane from Passionate for White, stopped by.  She even bought a new outfit for the event.

The tent was packed all day.  There's Donna trying to make up her mind.

Our hard working husbands take a break.


More great vignettes.
Sue surprised everyone with her unique displays.




We had such a great time, this is sure to be an annual show.  It was wonderful that all our goods friends/customers came to support our first tent event. 

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND LOVE.  YOU INSPIRE US TO BE THE BEST WE CAN BE.

The Set-up begins

Today the tent arrived for our "At Home With White" Show.  I'm so excited, I can't believe the day has finally arrived.

This is what the space looked like before the tent.

Then it arrived.  What a thrill!!

There's Mitch, from Norfolk Taylor Rental, putting up the tent.  They did such a great job.

There it was, in all its glory.  Our home for the next 3 days. 


Shop Girls, Nancy D. & Maureen were there to see the raising of the tent.  The anticipation was overwhelming.

This area belongs to Karen K.  She just started putting items in her space.  She has a lot more to bring tomorrow.


There's Maureen in her space.  What a great assortment.  I can't wait to get a closer look.

There's the big dresser that has been taking up so much room in my garage.  (Ray is soooo happy)  I covered this old chippy stool with burlap and pom poms. 


This is part of Karen K's booth.  How sweet!!!


Now we get into the inside of the shop, where everyone has been working so hard to get their booths ready for the big weekend. This is Pam's booth.  

 







This tea cart is in Betsy's space.



Maureen has a little pink thing going on in her booth.

The rest of the Shop Girls will be bringing in their great finds tomorrow, and filling the tent and the shop to the brim. I'll have more pictures for you then.

Getting Ready for the White Show

I can't believe it is only three more days until the "At Home With White" event.  My kitchen is full the basement and the garage.  My husband will certainly be glad to move everything out into the tent at the shop.  I'm just finishing up pricing a few more things.  Take a look.
I have a box of old silverplate pieces.  I just can't get enough of it.

I bought a box lot of old cane sugar sacks at an auction a few months ago.  

This wicker urn can be used for so many things.  Since I'm always looking for farmhouse finds, I picked up this old school chalk box, a wire egg basket and this tin pan.
I found this magazine holder and embellished it with an old clock decal.  This beautiful ornate bottle was a real find.
