New Pieces for The Store

I love when I get a phone call that there is a great piece of furniture
on the side of the road that I need to go get. I love anything free.
Found the discontinued Robert Allen chenille fabric online for less than $11.00. It is
such a happy fabric.
I have lost my Microsoft Photo Shop, so I apologize for the dark pictures. I brought
in a chair that used to be in my guest room, it is so 1990's, it looks like a really bad
bridesmaid dress.



The fabric is from a company that I loved that went out of business called Silk Loom.
And here is a shot of a piece of furniture that I bought years ago to use as a desk, that
became my dressing table. It is in front of the the chair I repurposed.
I have down sized and really purged my things, so I brought in things that I just don't
have room for like all my fabric covered project boards.
Here is one of two mirrored botanical from Two's Company that used to hang in my
guest room.

And last but not lest a Chippendale shelf that used to hold my Majolica Pitchers.

My Camel Back Duralee Paisley Sofa's Ransom Is Paid

Back in Januaury, right around the time I was closing
the store down and moving up the street, I got a phone
call. My upholster called to tell me my sofa was ready.
I explained to him that I was moving my store, down sizing
and had no where to put it. He said ok, but I hope it doesn't
get dirty. Shit and a few other words went around in my head.
So he has been holding it ransom until I had the room and the
money to pay him. Oh, and his shop is not the cleanest place
in the world.
So, here she is. What a beauty! The sofa was a freebie to me from my
mover. I found this lovely Duralee Fabric, designed by John Rabshaw,
online at a fraction of what it would have cost me wholesale.


She was held hostage for a few months, but she arrived clean and in great shape.
I proudly placed her in the window so she can be seen in all her glory.

I love the big bold Pink Paisley on the Cream background. A classic sofa
with a fabric take on a more modern traditional look. As I said, the fabric is
from Duralee Fabrics and was a John Rabshaw design called Blossom. It is
now a B.Berger print for Duralee. That tells you how long ago I bought it and
how long it took to have it done. It is in the window at Queen City Marketplace,
on Ebay and my Etsy shops.
