I'm so excited!

Many of our customers are very creative and often are in search of projects for their homes. They are DYI'ers who loving adding their special touch. Well...we took that to heart and beginning with the fall edition, we will stock Flea Market Style magazine. If you are not familiar with this magazine, you need to check it out! It is full of creative ideas and most are fairly simple projects. Although my time has become more limited, I love pouring over this magazine. I am often disappointed because it flies of the shelves before I can get to the store to buy one for myself. If you would like to reserve your copy, please call us. Price for local pick-up will be $9.95 plus tax. We expect arrival in mid to late summer.







But, I am even more excited about becoming a dealer for Jeanne d'Arc Living! On my last trip to France, I became aware of this awesome magazine, which is produced in Denmark. The magazine is now printed in English and has absolutely no advertising. The focus is on the French Nordic country style, which to be quite honest, I love, love, love! The magazine is approximately 140 pages with beautiful photography and just full of ideas for us franco-philes. We are currently the only source within the DFW area. The publishers had a deal that was just to good to pass up so we are passing those savings along to you. When I was researching this magazine, I found on-line stores with a price of $39.95. Because we were able to secure this publication at a great rate, our price for local pick-up will be $19.95 plus tax. I just can't say enough good things about this magazine. The magazines have been shipped and should arrive within two weeks. Reserve your copy now!



Stay tuned for more on the French Nordic country style.


p.s. I've been shopping! The best, Kathy

I'm Back!!

Well, it's been quite a while. How quickly time passes! I've been to Southern France again and I have to say, I loved every minute of it. It's amazing how relaxed you can become. The lifestyle in the villages is remarkable. Perhaps one day I will win the lottery and can go there as often as I would like. My dad always said I was a dreamer! But sometimes dreams can come true, right?

We have LOTS of new merchandise at the shop. We are getting good traffic on the website and have attracted several customers to come in for purchases. We sold the most wonderful fireplace mantel over the holidays. It had a secret compartment where valuables could be hidden.

Please check our new pictures. Hope to see you soon! Spring is just around the corner !
