My Valentine? My St. Husband!

Ok...you are thinking a month in between sale dates...plenty of time, right??
GOLLY G! It just flies right by~ crazily!  Projects start at home...you ought to see my dining room table.  On second thought...no, no you shouldn't.  You'd think the garage would be the place to paint and repurpose those projects.  Yes, there too.  The back garage?  Yes, there too.  The kitchen floor, buffet, bedroom hallway and basement.  All there too! 


So what does the dear old hubby say?  Not much...sure he sighs, mumbles under his breath and probably rolls his eyes a few times at my 'piles of junk' but whenever I need a wire cut, a few boards sliced into quarters, and a screw here and a nail there, he does it without complaint.  Yesterday he came with to pick up a vanity I bought and couldn't haul out myself.  On the way, I noticed I hadn't yet emptied the crib in the back of the van.  When we got there I remembered the lamp and other thingamajig I bought also.  It would never all fit, nope it didn't.  We will have to make another trip back again.  Oops.  Then at the shop he hung a blind, moved a door, tried to hang a ladder (the spot I requested was not hanging friendly) and we left to put the vanity into the garage stall where the rest (of some) of my projects await...


What a guy!  
He may cringe at my 'junk' but knows I am in my glory surrounded by creations and projects that make me happy!  And for that my dear, I am thankful!
Happy Valentine's Day to my one and only!

Getting creative with sale themes!

I erased the January sale this week.  I went from one corner to the next, pulling down items and moving them into the opposite corner of the room.  All consignment items came in from the greenhouse.  (I am leery leaving anything that is not my own out in it's elements!)  Some went home to their creators, some will be repainted or recreated into something new for the next sale!  What a fun business!  

I have a 'note's' file on my iphone.  It is chock full of ideas for creations to be made and now that I am storefront, I have themes!  Because there are no holidays between Feb sale (24-25-26) and mid March I picked some fun random themes bouncing off of some projects I have been wanting to dabble in!  How awesome is that?

February themes include:
Hometown pride!  
<3 Duluth--Minnesota, teams we love, area landmarks, etc!

Lights!  
Fun and funky lighting options-
including candles, holders, sconces, etc!

Sweet treats!
Cookie jars, candy dishes, baking ware & things that make you want YUMMMMMM!

As always we will feature our 
M'antique's, Kid's and Kitchen corner's.  

DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA or SOME CREATIONS that would be a good fit for GOLLY G?
Contact us for consignment!
