OK, I am in Atlanta at the biggest gift market show in the world!  Time to shop for Holiday 2010 and look for some amazing little new finds for now.  For those of you looking for a glimpse this is how it works.  So the first of November hits and one gets a reminder the […]

People often ask what a girl with a shop like mine wants for Christmas.  I am lucky enough that everyday is Christmas but every once in a while I find a crafter that makes something that is so lovely I just have to have it. About 15 minutes ago I found Plush! If I don’t get […]

So if you go to Style Me Pretty you will see a mention of Daisy’s as a favorite place to shop.  I love this blog and to see a picture from inside my store and the name Daisy’s on there was such a great treat.  I squealed, Ron thought the dog stepped on my foot.  So the […]

Everywhere I look there are Christmas packages for me.  No pretty red bows or shiny paper.  No sparkling lights above them or tree skirt below and I wouldn’t have it any other way.  I love decorating and arranging but it is especially fun at Christmas time.  Part of it I think is the color red.

My friend Angela, who owns Pippin Hill, the cutest classic yet hip kids clothing shop, had the best idea.  She wanted to have an old fashion downtown customer appreciation day.  We are so lucky to get to be in one of those picturesque little blocks with beautiful old buildings and cute stores including an old […]
