Brrrrrrr...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope your home has been cozy and warm
during this frigid weather! We've been
busy at Feathersand Twigs and
have gotten in new items and
done a little early spring cleaning.
So, if you have a case of cabin fever,
get out and come browse a while.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have comfy chairs for curling
up with a good book. Or, just curling up-
like Morris does.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have a wide assortment of tables
for enjoying your favorite soup
on a cold winter's night,
or playing scrabble, or working
on a crossword puzzle.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or, you could take a visual vacation
and let your home "go to the beach"
with Charlotte's artwork and assessories....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We also have Janet's goat milk soap
to soften and hydrate your
dried out "winter skin"......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And more great stuff to help you
make your house a cozy home....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While you are in, don't forget to
make yourself a cup of hot tea or chocolate......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are you ready for spring and
flowers and yard sales????
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, we have the yard sale for you!
We are moving out of our Garden Shop
building and bringing it all back
under one roof. So, we've been
sorting and cleaning out old inventory
and are having one big
indoor moving sale! Every Friday
and Saturday in January,
we will be open from 10 - 4
at the Garden Store with lots of
good stuff for sale at yard sale prices!!!
We may even fill you in on
who is moving in to that building
and will be our new neighbor
and business buddy
(you'll have another good reason to stop by!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, hope to see you soon!
Cindy
(and Carol, Eris, Debby, Charlotte and Morris)

could have a "Green" one?
Feathers and Twigs will be celebrating
"Green Friday'' by selling all their
recycled treasures at a huge discount -

An afterthought...
I just realized the other day
that with my mother, aka "Granny",
working in the store, my daughter, Jessie,
at the Garden Shop, and my other daughter,
Hannah, at The Vintage Rental Co,
we have three generations working together!
How great is that?
(And we all still like each other!)

Happy New Year!!
I know I am a little late with this,
but I have been busy getting ready
to open a new store!
Feathers and Twigs is branching out
and starting a Garden Shop right next door
( in the green building where there used
to be a frame shop).
We plan to open this weekend on Saturday.
Please come check us out - I think you'll like it!
Right now it looks like this......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But soon it will look more like this...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will carry all kinds of decor
for your garden, yard, porch and home.
We will also have beautiful potted plants,
wrought iron items, pots, planters, etc.
And we plan to add to our collection of
old doors, windows, mantels, shutters,
and other cool stuff for you do-it-yourselfers.
If you come on Saturday, you will
get first pick of the goodies!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, back at the original store....
we continue to get in lots of
new (old) great stuff!
People have all kinds of treasures
in their basements, attics and storage buildings
that they want to clean out.
And we are in business to help them do that
and find good homes for it all!
Here's a small sampling of some
of our latest items
(but to really find the best stuff,
you'll want to stop in regularly).......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My husband, Scott, has built another
one of his beautiful kitchen islands -
this one has a handmade butcher block top!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lamar has also been busy building furniture.
He made this bench out of an old headboard.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His farm tables and benches have been
a big hit with our customers....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have quite a few chests and desks....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We also have lots of pretty sets of dishes.
Maybe you need more for Easter dinner?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Charlotte has added more variety
to her artwork collection and
will have lots of new fun pieces
in the Garden Shop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's all for now - gotta get back
to work on the new store!
Hope to see you soon!
Cindy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
P.S. - Carol just had a birthday....

***************************************************
Hope that you are enjoying the holiday season and
looking forward to a Merry Christmas.
It seems like it all has "snuck up" on us this year!
I just realized that our last day to be open before
Christmas will be Saturday, the 22nd.
Since I would like to give my wonderful customers
some great deals and clear out some inventory
before the new year, we are going to have our
biggest sale of the year on Saturday -
the day after the end of the world!
*****************************************************
We are calling it our
"It's Not the End of the World Sale"!
Everything in the store will be 25% off !!!!
(even our already 1/2 off red dot specials!)
***********************************************
We will be closed on Christmas Eve
and Christmas Day, as well as New Year's Eve
and New Year's Day. We will reopen on January 2, 2013
with a "spiffed up" store and will be ready to
take in your vintage consignment pieces.
*************************************************
******************************************
During these tough times,
I like to remember something Anne Frank said -
"Enjoy what beauty there still is and be happy"
*******************************************************
Sure hope you'll make time to stop by
and grab a few of our oldies and goodies.
We are a much more fun place to shop than Walmart!
See you soon!
Cindy
