Photographic memories











I'm not sure how many people there are like me out there. I don't remember much about my childhood. I have memories but not details like special birthday parties or family vacations. The events happened in my life, I just don't remember being there!! I do, however, remember special toys, cartoons, games, my favorite red white and blue jeans or my bike. Which is why I LOVE this jewelry!! The pieces are all designed by a woman named Ruth. She actually owns or owned everything that she has photographed and then turns those photos into jewelry. They are available on resin, glass or sterling silver, as bracelets, necklaces and earrings. The images can also be created as small wall pieces. Images include vintage halloween and christmas decor, plastic circus animals, Fisher Price people, dolls, doll clothes, toy furniture, sewing tools, on and on and on.

I think she's been inside my brain!! Maybe THAT'S why i've been having such trouble using it!!

Stop in the shop to see a small sampling. We can special order but hurry if you'd like something for the holidays!

you can't catch me...


Since we opened our doors almost seven years ago, we have sold Mrs. Meyers cleaning products. We love them and so do our customers. Usually, it starts with the dish soap or the laundry soap. Little by little, it creeps in and takes over all of your cleaning supplies.
Wouldn't you rather have YOUR house smell like lavender than say, chemicals??

For those of you that don't know, Mrs. Meyers products are environmentally friendly, biodegradable, cruelty free cleaning products that are available in 3 fragrances: Lavender, Lemon Verbena, and Geranium and all of them happen to work phenomenally.


What I REALLY wanted to tell you about is the release of a holiday collection... GINGERBREAD!
You don't even have to bake, just clean...wait...is that a BETTER option?
Anyway, the gingerbread fragrance is available in a cleaning kit, hand lotion and hand soap set and a soy candle.

You gotta smell it to believe it!!
Run, run as fast as you can....

By the way, it's only bad to give cleaning products as a gift if it's NOT Mrs. Meyers.








tea for two...


About three or so years ago, we brought this tea into the shop because we LOVED the packaging.
Turns out, it happens to be FABULOUS tea also. Looks and substance....hmmmm.
This year, along with some beautiful gift sets, they have added two new tea collections.
Hang on to your hat Marge!
DOLCE VITA is a collection of dessert teas. Flavors like raspberry nectar, coco truffle, and vienna cinnamon fill this box. Think chocolate, fruit, and spices. YUMMY!!

Also introduced this year is the limited edition, read: get it before it's gone folks,
WINTER COLLECTION. Perfect for holiday giving in a rich red box. Warm and festive flavors fill this assortment. Favorites like black currant and brand new belgian mint.
Just the right gift for the person who has everything (or those of us who'd like too!)
This stuff is so good it even made the O LIST, but we had it first!!!
Herbal teas, exotic red and white teas, black teas, teapots and teacups. Come and check out all the offerings! Do yourself a FLAVOR!!!
