More than Seven on Saturday

.
October! My favorite month of the year. Not only is it my birthday month but in the Midwest it is always the most beautiful of the four seasons. The weather has been 100% perfect here for nearly two weeks (which is unheard of) and this leads me to think we will actually have an autumn season and not zoom from 90 to 20 degrees while fall passes us in the rear view mirror. The leaves are turning early but more importantly the antique shows are popping up everywhere!! Nothing shouts fall to me more than all the harvest fests, outdoor shows and special events with artists and dealers selling their originals in the crisp, cool weather. Bring on the barn jackets!


Here's my latest good thing: Martha Stewart's magazine is featuring an item from my online store in their Thanksgiving issue!! To even be mentioned in 8 point type in this magazine is such a coup so for the last 60 days I have been stockpiling the antiques, hoping to have close to 500 items online by the time the issue hits the stands on October 10th. This could be the first time many readers have heard of Curious Sofa and I need to take full advantage of the press. Now that I am an online retailer, it takes a little extra work to draw customers in, but I am loving that I can still hunt and gather antiques and special items for you.

Take a look below at four of my ten categories and just a few of the new items I added this week (with another 50 to come right away). Check back often and happy pumpkin time everyone- go bake something!
