Feathers & Twigs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here it comes.....ready or not!  Christmas

is on its way and we have "decked our halls"

with lots of recycled holiday

goodies, decor, furniture, and more!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You"ll find glitter and baubles.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

trees made of metal....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  and primitive wood trees

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and stars...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Snow village houses.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

red shiny and silver....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

turqouise and blue -

with the beach in a ball!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even Santa's glasses

adorning a vintage tree.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These little gourd snowmen

are made locally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have lots of locally made goodies like...

a variety of twig framed original photos by

Laura Heilman from Roopville..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and cards printed from the original

artwork of local artist,

Sally Jones.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ronda Robinson made up

a beautiful selection of pottery ornaments....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My daughter, Hannah, is felting again -

she's made felt covered soap and

these darling little felt acorns....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My other daughter, Jessie,

has been busy creating these

wonderful wreaths from

vintage books and music....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My employee ("daughter"), Laura,

made darling feather fascinators....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I even got to have some fun myself and

made these soy teacup candles that

smell like hot holiday drinks

(like mulled cider and peppermint tea).....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mandy Roach brought in some

of her pretty new artwork.

Of course, I love the birds best...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And with our usual fun fare like

Janet's goatmilk soap,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Olivia's jellies and preserves,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and Charlotte's everchanging

masterpieces -

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why would you need to shop anywhere else?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We even have a good variety of

new (old) furniture...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(a rare pair of twin beds)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And a light  fixture that

we have dubbed our

"redneck chandelier"...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Plus, you can feel good knowing

that you shopped "green" -

buying American,  recycled treasures

and supporting our local economy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

We will be taking more

vintage consignment furniture

after the holidays -

 remember us when you are

rearranging to make room for

your new Christmas stuff.
