~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does your nest need a little decorating?
Let Feathers and Twigs help!
We have a huge variety of recycled furniture,
homegoods and decor that could help make your
nest a little "homier" for the holidays.
Like this......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have a great selection of last minute
Christmas decorations and emergency presents...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Handmade cards make a gift really special....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How about something really big
this year for Christmas?
We have some wonderful big items that
have small pricetags. for example -
this wardrobe is very old and very beautiful...
(It has just been marked down $200)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This not-quite-as-big wardrobe is nice, too.
Wardrobes are great for storing your extra sweaters
and jackets. This one is only $229...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Big chest of drawers could
come in handy this time of year, too!
These are both on sale for $225...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a huge shelf for some real
storage solutions. This one is now $199
(and we have another one just like it!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For kitchen storage, this pie safe
with a wire front might just fit perfectly
in your house. It is only $229...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How about a big old gas stove to
add some charm and warmth to your kitchen?
This one could be made to work and
is on sale for $425....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a really big entertainment system
storage cabinet that has a nice fresh
coat of white paint and
"slide out of the way" louvered doors.
It could be yours for $439.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If your style is more rustic, this is a
handmade shelf made from
reclaimed lumber.
You can take it home for $219!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you'd like a really big present for Christmas,
you might just have to have this old postal desk
that is marked "New York 1950" on the back.
It is truly a special piece and
is now on sale for $925.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you need a little extra seating
for the holidays, this tasteful homemade table
could be just the perfect solution.
It is only $499...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We also just got in another beautiful
island handmade by my husband.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like some big art?
The famous big "Boots" painting
is now on sale for $200....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The best way to see our huge variety
and great prices is to come in and
check it out in person!
You can enjoy some homemade goodies
(like my mother's famous banana nut bread),
some hot tea and
great old music as you shop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This month, we drew Carolyn Berry's name
to win a $25 gift certificate.
Merry Christmas, Carolyn!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will be marking things down
regularly to make way for
new stuff for the new year.
And, we'll be open all through
the holidays
except for the 25th and 26th
and the 1st and the 2nd.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's something any woman can appreciate:
Three Wise Women would have.....
Asked for directions.
Arrived on time,
Helped deliver the baby,
Cleaned the stable,
Made a casserole,
Brought practical gifts and
There would be Peace on Earth.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
Hope to see you soon (and often!)-
Cindy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ashlyn is two and is still too cute,
even if she is picking out her own clothes now!

We are ready for Halloween!!! Hope you are, too - but if not.....stop in and see us - we have fun decorations and ideas. Also, we have a good variety of vintage clothes and accessories to help inspire your last minute costume!
At Feathers and Twigs, we want to help you decorate your nest - either by sharing ideas and suggestions or helping you find just the right item for your home (even if it means sending you to another store!).
Here are a few quick and easy Halloween ideas I'd like to share....
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Isn't this a cute wreath made out of black tulle?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What a great use for mason jars, candy corn,
and the last of the marigolds!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
How about recycling those milkjugs?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We have your orange and black fashions.....
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And Halloween scented soy candles...

We even have a special treat for you! We will be offering 10% off anything in the store from now until Thanksgiving. The trick is - you have to ask for it!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Olivia is wrapping up her Thanksgiving and Christmas gift baskets. To let you try her yummy goodies, we will be having a "Sweets and Treats" sampling day on Saturday, November the 12th. Your taste buds will thank you!

There are so many ways you could use this
great cedar chest....
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Or this unusual black sidetable
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and such a gorgeous fall oil painting!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We pride ourselves on finding unusal items...
(what a bottle!)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Need to get "back in the saddle"?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is an amazingly cool
midcentury modern stereo.....
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You know you want this old school map!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

kitchen island that my husband, Scott, built.
Looks like it found a good home!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Carolyn Cribb took my advice and registered to win our $25 gift certificate everytime she came in - she increased her odds and won this month! Congratulations, Carolyn!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My daughter, Hannah, got married last month and I'd like to share with you these beautiful photos made by Sugarsnap Photography. These are our first two "preview" pictures , and we can't wait to see the rest! We highly recommend their services....
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's all for now! Remember to ask for 10%
off when you come in......

Ahhhh......fall is finally in the air!
We are loving this cooler weather here at the shop and we think you might, too.
I like to think of what we do as "finding good homes" for the things we sell. Sometimes we have that "perfect fit" - just what you are looking for at just the right price!
It makes me happy knowing that special pieces find good homes at your houses where they will be loved and cared for for years to come. This month I'd like to share with you some of our great items that need "adopting"....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This gorgeous china cabinet will require a
very special home!
(Or make yours very special)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This freshly painted buffet would do well in
most any home...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
but this darling stool might require
just the right home
to fit in with your color scheme.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This great trunk could be perfectly at home in a college student's apartment, as well your lake house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This nice footed cast iron tub will require a home that may be getting a new bathroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have "dogs" for you to take home - like this painting of a pretty retriever..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a pug on a pillow.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a pair of sad eyed hounds
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and a pup made of metal parts!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh --- by the way, October is national Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog month, so if you are interested in adding some love to your home by getting a real pet - check out the ones available at the new and improved Carrollton Animal Shelter!
http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/GA38.html
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But, if you have to stick to the
"easy to care for"
type pet -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have cats - the traditional variety.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as well as retro styles!
You might like a bunny (in porcelin)...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or one in blue glass....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or chickies...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
or hens and roosters....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(which sell very fast!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other barnyard animals include....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
pigs and sheep.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and horses and cows, too!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And of course we have birds!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ones on purple
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and framed ones, too..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rustic birds...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
elegant swans
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and majestic owls
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a pouting parrot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and even a pair of
pin cushions birds!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe you are fond of fishes.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
we have a variety of those....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
to suit any style....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We can't leave out jungle animals
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and even a pair of mooses (mice?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So come on in and visit us - we want to help you find the perfect items to make your nest a home.
You'll find a wide variety, good prices, and friendly faces.
You might even win the $25 gift certificate that we give away every month - like Kathy Calhoun just did!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We've been decorating for fall......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come get inspired!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope to see you soon!

If you have come to this site and found all my blogs missing, it is because Webs.com is having problems and is still working to resolve them. I hope I can write my September Twig Tales soon - we have lots of good stuff in the store I want to tell you about!

It's another heatwave and we are working up a sweat at Feathers and Twigs! Interestingly enough, July seems to be our busiest month of the year. You must all be staying inside and cleaning and redecorating (except, of course, for getting out and shopping).
I've been so busy selling and pricing new stuff, I almost forgot to do the July newsletter!
I think I will start out this time with the winner of this month's $25 gift certificate...........................it is Jane Lovvorn! Congratulations, Jane and all you folks who read the sign in the entryway - you get 10% off your purchase just by asking for it. This will be going on until the end of July, so come take advantage of it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instead of selling things in the store, I like to think of what we do as "finding good homes" for all our "previously loved" items.
In fact, sometimes with special items, I almost want to refuse a sale if I don't think it will be truly appreciated by its new owner!
But, most of the time, we sell our stuff to really good homes where it is loved and given a second chance to be something really beautiful. I am so happy to get pictures from customers showing what they bought from us in a new home - looking so much happier!
For example, Kendra Knowles shared this before and after of one of the two nightstands she purchased. What a difference some paint and new knobs make!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jen and Tim Houck had my husband build this island to fit their kitchen. Then, Jen bought these stools from us and recovered them herself.
Don't they look great?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(By the way, she bought four stools and decided she only needs two, so if you are interested in two cute retro stools.....)
Stephanie Norton enjoys decorating and redecorating her loft apartment. Here is an example of how she used a bench she bought from Feathers and Twigs to add character to her bathroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of you may remember this archectectural piece we had hanging in the store for quite a while. Betty Newsome bought it and gave it new life as a headboard. I think it looks gorgeous!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have lots of new things waiting to find their perfect owner! Some of these will take just the right person to appreciate them.
Like a pair of director chairs with the letter "W"...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or this crazy "horse" clock!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Someone who really loves yellow and red will want this handy little kitchen cupboard.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It will take a pretty big kitchen to accommodate this beautiful, big island.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like roosters? You will love this huge set of dishes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only a person with a garden could appreciate these darling, handmade vegetable picking
aprons......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I guess you'll need a beach house to properly display some of Charlotte's new beach scenery..........(or maybe not!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Got fruit?
(Retro ceramic fruit that is!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, come on inand "adopt" your own something special!
And, speaking of "adopting", the Carrollton Animal Shelter has been having a special this month, as well. All their dogs are $40 and cats are just $20 - completely ready to go with all their shots and spaying or neutering ! If you have been considering a new pet, this might just be the perfect time - hurry, though - just one week left!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope to see you soon!
Cindy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We haven't seen cute little Ashlyn this month, but we did get a picture of this cute kitty shopping in the store!
