And times moves on. . .

Let me say I've neglected this blog--I could blame it all on Christmas but honestly, the shop has been very busy and we had many projects.

Ann and I decorated a tree at The Johnson Center using vintage plastic Santa and reindeer ornaments. Snow covered every branch and ornament--we made a mess but it was beautiful!

Christmas Open House was successful in spite of the cold, wet weather.

But now it's time to move on to another season--Valentine's Day or "V Day" as it is affectionately called. We are all decorated and in the "heart" spirit! Check back for updates!

and then there was. . .

Miss Hettie--me actually (the writer of the blog/office manager/problem solver/you name it).

I began my blog last year--naturally I volunteered to write the one for the shop. Most people know me as Gail--the Miss Hettie (my mom's) name was a suggestion from a dear friend. My real desire is to have a "Venue House" named Miss Hettie's, but it's just not in the cards at the moment for this "dealer".

At the antique shop, I occupy the front window and the mezzanine. My real love is re purposing old furniture, but it's becoming difficult to find the old things.

Along with my reclaimed furniture, I sell a variety of items--beautiful vintage cake plates, retro kitchen items, tea cups, punch bowls, figurines, samplers and many other items.
I also collaborate on different projects--hand-crafted benches, painted furniture, and the Sweet Peas line of infant and toddler dresses.
