Colors Around My Yard


My beautiful pansies on the front porch.
 My Dianthus coming back from last year.
 My wild Violets in the back yard.

More Violets and Periwinkle.
And two pretty red tulips that I brought in from the yard. Stay safe and stay in. This too
will pass.

First Day of Spring

Thursday was the first day of spring and the temperature
was higher than usual. I was at work in Charlottesville helping
a customer decorate her den on line, she just had surgery. I sent
her three or four options and I had a customer call and ask me to send
him a picture of an IMG chair that was on the floor. So I got the call
I knew was coming, they shut my store down for 11 days or two weeks
with no pay, the other store will remain open. Life sucks for me right
now, but at least I safe and not exposing my self to this virus. I have been
working on things that I had put off, I did my taxes, billed my client for
my hours and the trim I ordered for her and I sent fabric sample to my
client in Richmond for her chairs. I have a few sales on ebay that need to
ship and some items that I need to list. I snapped a few pictures from around
the house for you.
 I picked some flowers from the yard, love Daffodils, they smell so good.

 Here are the pansies I put in a few weekends ago, I love the mix of color.
The Easter wreath I made last year, hopefully the world will be a better place by then
and people will be able to go to church to celebrate.
My collection of Easter eggs on me dining room table, some home made and some
given to us.
Speaking of giving things, I ran into an old friend and co-worker at the funeral I went
to in December. Her name is Missy Goode, and she is now a great artist, she goes to
church with my dad and asked for his address, she wanted to bring him a painting for
me. How sweet is that, as you can see in the picture above how talented she is.
I moved the goats to the dining room, they came from the Beverley Street Co- op Art
Gallery in downtown Staunton. My new painting went in its place in the den. Please
stay safe and pray that this thing will pass soon.

Come To Work With Me

In case you missed the memo, I have been working in Charlottesville since last summer.
The company is called Ann Arden and I am on Emmett Street near Barracks Road Shopping
Center. This store specializes in selling Bassett Furniture along with a few other lines.
This is the Bella bedroom group, I did the fabric version in a king bed for my daughter
Ellie's house.

You can customize your dining room chairs in any fabric you want and the table is Bassett's
Live Edge Table made in Martinsville, Va. in Appalachian Maple. You have several stains to
choose from.
Above is the Bridgewater Designer Comfort Sofa.

Bassett has a great design center with tons of fabrics to choose from, along with wood stains
and trims to choose from.


One side of the building is a wall of windows with great views from the second floor.


More views of the furniture on the second floor showing more of the lines that we carry.
Above is Bassett's  CU. 2 section and chair and custom ottomans.

More sofas with options and sizes, you choose it and it is made for you in Virginia and
North Carolina. And speaking of custom made, below is some trims I ordered from Stout
for my client in Staunton.

And here we have a Schumacher fabric, Citrus Garden, pillows I ordered on Etsy for my
daughters bridal shower this weekend.
Last but not least, since I am spending a lot of time at home, i decorated with Spring flowers.

Stay safe and healthy,
Margaret
