Under the big tent

We having our annual Spring Tent Sale this Thursday, April 7 - Monday, April 11. This is when we do our spring cleaning and reduce items to make room for new merchandise. Furniture that has been drastically reduced will be under the tent but don't forget to check individual merchant spaces too. Look for the yellow tags and have fun shopping for bargains!!

Think outside the house.

Since the temperatures are heating up (82 degrees here in the Carolinas today!), I just wanted to take a minute and share some lovely outdoor spaces that I found in Southern Living Magazine. Time to get outside, do some outdoor entertaining and celebrate the warm weather!

Flower Power

Last year, I started a flower pin business called Felt Happy. It was created by my desire to recycle vintage wool sweaters. Over the years, I had collected sweaters that were accidentally shrunk in the wash (according to my husband), missing a few buttons or just worn from wear. I did a little research on felting (shrinking wool to a more dense fiber) and Felt Happy was born. To my surprise, these Felt Happy flower pins have really started selling...mostly, in the store because I have not mastered the art of marketing on Etsy yet. Who knew that a little flower pin would become so popular! http://www.shopfelthappy.etsy.com
