Stirring Up A Little Dust & Hanging In There!

Plans for the Cottage Panache Second Anniversary Sale & Antique Flea Market are underway!   The desire to have the second phase finished includes the refinishing of the hardwood floors in the last two rooms! In order to do this I found it necesary to close for 3 - 4 days as I am afraid that we will be stirring up a little dust ~ cough ~ cough! I began yesterday and I will continue through the weekend working diligently to finish at least the floors in these last two rooms!  My actual Anniversary was in February but wanted to wait until I had these last two rooms finished first. I will be open next week for Mother's Day shopping and all gifts for Mom will be discounted 20% all next week so be sure to stop by and check out what we have for Mom! I have many items that I am bringing in are from my collection in my barn, home and storage. Unpacking things that have been sitting in containers is like going shopping all over again.

This is a WWII satin pillow cover. I just love this poem for Mother!

I am trying to find all of the treasures that honor Mother! I know that I have more items for Mom, similar to this MOP broche. This one is listed on my etsy shop. ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/cottagepanache )

Month of May to Honor Mother on her blessed day!

This is the front of my postcard for the May Sale at Cottage Panache. If you are on my mailing list you should expect it soon!

Cindy of Mama Mia Photography will be here on Saturday, May 9th at my Saturday Event shooting pics from 10:00 until 2:00! I only wish my Mother was still living so that I could have a portrait done with my daughter, Mom and myself! Maybe it's not too late for you.

I will feature a special sale for the day...on all gifts for Mom! Just tell me at check out..."it's for Mom" and I'll deduct 20% from the original price!

What? You have to buy your own Mother's Day gift for yourself?!!! That's okay...I won't tell if you don't tell!!! I've been there...done that!

I've found so many awesome treasures this past month. I wish I had more days to rummage through my stash in my spare room at home, the barn out back and the garage to which you can't even walk through. The good thing about covetting the treasures is that when you unpack them a second or third time...it's even more exciting. "Oh - I forgot about that!" and oooh...I know just what to do with that. It's hard to purge of ones treasure trove but I am trying my hardest! You know you can't keep it all.
