News Article Follow-Up

We were very surprised when the Duluth News Tribune called us. They did an article on Occasional Sales in Duluth. They interviewed us and took pictures of our shop. We are grateful for the opportunity to talk about what we LOVE to do.

We had a few phone calls, not sure what we are all about - 

HERE'S THE SCOOP -

We are only open one week-end a month. 

The shop is full of refurbished furniture, mostly painted - dressers, tables, chairs, desks, hutches, etc. 

Lamps, pictures, glass cloches, bird nests, birds, garden statuary, books, baskets, & more.

We carry a line of soy candles that smell incredible. We just received our first shipment of fun jewelry. The gals love it. 

We have recycled items as well -

Garden benches from old headboards, garden chairs, metal garden flowers from old machinery parts, birdhouses, garden hooks, window boxes, planters from recycled pails, tool boxes, and way too much to list.

We even have a corner for cabin and man cave decor.

You just never know what you will find in our shop. It is constantly changing, and we are always on the hunt for unique, one-of-a-kind items.

Have a great week!

Krista & Dana

Happy SNOWY May Day

Well, it's not the MAY DAY I was hoping for, but here it is. It's cold and snowing. I worked in my gardens this week, finally got them done and now SNOW.

It is going to be a short summer up here, when we can see snow in September easily. 

I'm NOT complaining, it's just snow. My heart goes out to all of the people and devastation down south from the tornadoes. Those folks would be so happy if all it had done was snow.

I was only in one tornado scare in my life, and it was not fun. It was 35 years ago, with a new baby. My mother-in-law called, told me to come over to her basement. The tornado didn't hit the lake we were by, but the other end, and there was a mobile home flattened. That was what we were living in at the time. 

So, the snow is OK, I just wish spring would straighten out. 

I moved my GARDEN JUNK around this year. I even decided to sell some of it. I should have a picture of my hubby doing the happy dance. I am keeping only ONE old reel lawn mower, selling two.

I have soooo many old wheels, but I haven't put any of them in the trailer for the sale YET. I need to part with some of them, so maybe.

We've been working on this trellis display for the shop. It's one of those, either burn the old lathes, or do something with them. I dry brushed them with garden green, added a old headboard for support, bench, and I think it will work. I need to add grapevine to it, and hang some gourd birdhouses from the top piece. We made them yesterday.

Have a good week ladies, I am headed down to Krista's to get ready for our  BIG garden sale. This will be our biggest sale of the year, Woohoo!

You will be able to check out sale pics on FACEBOOK this week.
