THE big news

I told you I had BIG news.

I Did it.

They are here!

2010 lori miller vintage design

Available WHOLESALE

Last year I launched the new greeting card line. Sold them at the store AND they did well.

For 2010 I changed a few things.... new size.... new look... new envelopes

-vintage book page printed on the inside.
In fact, I had so many people want them for their shops, that I revamped a few things and we are giving you what you want.

burlap containers

I had to add my touch.

I mentioned in the last post that I had 48 bags to get ready for next week.

I thought I would give you all a look-see

Take Plain burlap bag with cute handles.

Find plastic insert to fit... or not

buy a yard of linen material


fray the edges
believe me after 2 or 3 this was a drag
adhere to front and backside of bag


add a little personal touch

a little more of a personal touch

And Last... the number

some I left the vintage book page off

too cute or what???

A great gift bag, fill it up with Fall goodies or plop in a plant.

They will be available at Junk Bonanza next week

much more later ~ L

Vintage forever

It is so fun having the type of store that mixes new goods with my Vintage finds. The Vintage items make everything else come alive or have more depth... or...well, YOU know what I mean.
Any time you mix in the Vintage Finds it ROCKS.

This is one of my favorite tables in the shop.
My Farm Equipment sign is too die for!!
I had it originally to go over my fridge in my kitchen but the new Big Dog Fridge is Too Big. The damn thing is so tall that there was no room for the sign. For now it finds a home at the store until I can find some space at home.



cute little corduroy acorns

Funky finds

Peace

love weeds and sticks

We are full of color... I told you we are full of color

Even my purses are used as vases...

don't forget about reds for Fall

Happy Labor Day to you all.

Rest and enjoy.

I, myself, am working today, but there are things to do.

A large buffet sold at the Barn and I need to unload it, clean it up and get it loaded for it's new home. I am also working on some cute burlap containers for JB, I have 48 total and I only have about 18 finished. AND I am working on some jewelry for Junk Bonanza... I have 32 pieces finished, however, my goal is to complete 28 more today for a total of 60 pieces - my aching fingers.

Besides getting this post out, That is my list for TODAY.

This week I need to:

1. Finish tagging Vintage goods for JB

2. Reserve U haul truck - big truck

3. Finish last minute art work for the booth

4. Finish walls made for JB booth

5. Gather new 2010 card line to Premiere at JB

Natural beauty

In the Midwest we wait all year for the Fall colors to come out, and there is nothing like the natural beauty of all the colors. I just love September and October, the weather cools and it is actually enjoyable to be outside again.... the smells, the colors, the gatherings with friends

...this is the life. -once junk Bonanza is done I will be enjoying some of this life

Bittersweet... just picked

don't you love my super size acorns

and a hint of things to come....

So.... the store is ready for Fall, there is a hint of Halloween out and it is even selling...")

But I need to change gears now and focus on Junk Bonanza....

Yikes, how much work can a girl do.

I will keep you posted next week with my list and my plans and some more photos of the shop and maybe a hint of my JB treasures...... maybe

Have a great WEEKEND ~ L

gifts

August is my Birthday month.

Even when I was very little I remember August as being a very special month. It was always warm and breezy and we slept out on the screen porch to try and stay cool.

August meant school was starting, a new adventure.

School starting meant school clothes shopping AND new shoes.

August also meant my birthday.

These precious hand towels came in the mail from my BFF Sister Sue for my birthday.

Lucky me!

Two of them are linen and the other two are ticking. Love.

I love to drape them.

Aren't they adorable.

Thanks again Suz I Love them!
Everyone who has a September Birthday - Happy to you!
