What's in store for December....

I'm posting a few more items that I have for sale. I spent the morning at The Sleepy Poet restocking merchandise and straightening up my space (N-14 in the new expansion). It was a total wreck from the weekend....it gets really busy during the holidays! You can find just about anything vintage at the store. I saw a customer today buying a very cool framed Star Wars poster from the 1970s. The one-of-a-kind unique gifts are plenty at "Sleepy" from nice antiques to crazy "white elephant" gag gifts! Come check us out...

Glass candy dishes with lids...could be filled with holiday treats or used for DIY terrariums (SOLD)

 Small wood foot stool with striped upholstery (SOLD)

 Vintage brass trivets (sold)

 Assortment of small brass containers (Update: sold)

Vintage brass lamp with bell shade (250W)

 Original impressionist landscape art (sold)

Bronze ceramic quails (sold)

Last but not least....crazy cat lady basket (SOLD)!
(this would make the perfect white elephant gift)

The Girls like a classic Christmas with a dash of glitter

Have you checked out The Girls with Glasses on TDN? I love their fresh style and hip decorating tips...especially their lastest show on holiday decorating. They added simple glitter wreaths to the front door, brought live miniature trees into the kitchen and even painted a cabinet bright red to showcase white pottery and ornaments. For more info on The Girls with Glasses, check out TDN.

Small table with big potential

This little vintage Duncan Phyphe Game Table has multiple possibilities.
It can be folded up for small spaces when not in use.

It can also be folded out and used as extra table seating in the dining room....
or it would be fabulous as a foyer table with a large vase of flowers....

or even a poker table in the man cave!

 It also has hidden compartment underneath to hide cards, game pieces, etc.

Check it out at The Brushed Bureau located in the Sleepy Poet.
(Update: This table is SOLD)

Art I heart at Etsy

I was recently searching for artful holiday cards on Etsy and stumbled upon some of the most beautiful artwork. Check out some of my favorite finds....

Love this print of the marsh with lovely pink sunset...there's something

very calming and majestic about this painting (Marendevineart)

One of my favorite artists, Janet Hill, painted this one. Her art is whimsical, elegant, narrative and just entertaining! This piece is called "Party in the other room". Check out more of her wonderful talent at JanetHillStudios.

This is one of the cards that I purchased to send out for the holidays. I adore this artwork from LupiArt (artist, Lucy Campbell). There is a wonderful mystical sense about her masterpieces!

This mother and son artist team creates the most gorgeous mosaics. Above is a Koi table top that is just fantastic. Check out more of their creations at Paradise Mosaics.

She Sheds Unite

This has been a wild couple of weeks here in the U.S. A real rollercoaster ride...from the Chicago Cubs winning the world series to the crazy Presidential election. I have never experienced such highs and lows. And, since I cannot undo the election, it is back to everyday tasks for me. Hillary Clinton might not have won the election but never under estimate the power of a woman. Every woman deserves the right to voice her own opinion, make her own decisions and is entitled to every opportunity in the world. In honor of powerful women and the feminist movement, I am posting my favorite "she sheds" because we also deserve our own space.
