JUNE

It's going to hit 102˚ tomorrow in Kansas City so I am going to take a wild guess that this is a sign it is officially summer! I have never been much for the hotter weather (being the fair-skinned German girl that I am), yet every year I find myself saying, "How have I lived in this Midwest heat all my life?" I will add despite the rare dip in the pool, the one thing I do love about Summer is collecting decor for you.

This year, for the online shop and at my space at the Glenwood Antique Mall, I have payed homage to America's colors: the red, white and blue. I try not to overdo it as too much of the red and navy can take over a room but mixed with a lot of white, bleached wood, seashells, wicker and sea glass- it can be a handsome fit. (see the MAY blog post below).

For the Kansas City crowd, take note of the new/old furniture pieces just in at the mall for local pickup:

• A worn white SOFA TABLE (or desk as I would use it).

• 9 (yes, nine!) All white heavy duty CAPTAIN CHAIRS, just perfect for that giant farm table).

• This newer blue PAISLEY SIDE CHAIR. Oh if I had this color palette in my home it would not be leaving my hands as I am mad about most things paisley.

• And to sit in the corner, inside or out, this rare and outstanding giant BIRDHOUSE ready to take center stage as a conversation piece. (Think of the fun you could have decorating this for Christmas?!)

For the online store and all of you across the country, I have posted many smaller yet significant items on the website, ready to ship.

Take note of the new online category: ART, featuring:

FRAMED with vintage frames and newer art under glass.

The popular TINY PRINT canvases with new summer images.

PHOTOGRAPHY because I simply cannot pass up a good image from back when (I am restoring some better finds too and offering them at silly cheap prices so we can have an affordable memento), and finally . . .
