Candlelit Gathering to Welcome Spring

There is SO much more, just a few photos while there is time, more finds soon, some left before I got pictures...enjoy! Oh yes...it's going to be a beautiful Friday and Saturday, perfect for a trip to Thornville with family and friends, the shop looks so fresh and new, you'll enjoy every step...see you soon!!!
right this way




Fantastic live ivy ball topiaries in clay pots! It's so wonderful to have live plants back in the shop again...it's been a long time. These classic topiaries are ready to grace the rooms of your home.
Darling pink jasmine ring topiaries, light, airy, delicate.
vintage chandelier dressed for a garden party
fresh lavender plants
vintage glider, chair and table Nantucket bike basket, my German goat cart(NFS, sorry, it's falling apart) is full of faux cabbages that are fun tucked into cupboards, urns, or the corner of benches, tuck in a scratching bunny
old leaded glass windows, architectural porch fragments, faux and real purple hyacinth
Seek & Find...do you see a pair of vintage ironstone egg cups? Velvet covered bunnies? Old egg crates? Leaded glass salvaged from a now closed Columbus restaurant?
chippy paint flatwall with crusty urns, chartreuse garden gloves, rolls of moss ribbon, string bags full of faux bulbs, willow gardener's basket (wonderful Mother's Day gift!!), wicker wrapped candle cups, old berry basket, architectural corbels

a flock of bird houses (every spring a pair of Carolina Wrens make their home in one of these in my backyard)
Gorgeous large egg wreath
more egg wreaths, medium sized
very tall green cupboard, picture taken late, lots of goodies going home with shoppers
My friend Kimberly had this cupboard looking like she raided Mr. MacGregor's garden! Customers snacked while they shopped and I didn't get this picture snapped until the evening was over.
My girlfriend Kim graciously made these wonderful cucumber sandwiches, yum!

With that bait and tackle sign in the window I could have gotten my "better half" in your store easily. Lordy, I wish I lived closed enough to attend your spring candlelight opening. Everything looks so "right up my alley". :)

TO SAY I LOVE YOUR SHOP, WHERE ITS LOCATED,(OLD BRICK STOREFRONT), IS SO INCOMPLETE TO HOW MOVED I AM.
