Back from Junking!

We are back everyone! We pulled in with the loaded trailer late last night after 3 days of intense Junking!
You won't believe what we found, and the trailer will be unloaded by next week!
So here is a very sneak peek into the trailer as we are loading it up.You'll see a bit of aqua, a bit of industrial, a bit of jewel tones to tempt you.
We'' be putting new stuff out daily, so stop in when you can, watch for our email announcing our fresh finds and we'll see you soon!
All the best,

New things make me smile!

Let me just start off by saying new things make me smile, therefore I smile alot around here!!!
Of course you all know about our buying trips where we go out on the road (smiling of course), and search the countryside to bring back the bestest, most fun items we can find to fill the store with. This is one of those most fun items we just had to have, and we liked it so much we bought two! We were told that they came out of a lawyers office. I envisioned them as a kitchen island with a stainless steel top. What do you think? We would love to hear your ideas! And if you love it as much as we do you better hurry on in and snag it because I'm sure they won't last!

Oh yeah our next trip is next week so be sure to come in and see what we find next!

All the Bestest :)

Garden time!

How cute is this old aqua cart, with a vintage window on top? Betsy just remerchandised our patio and it is adorable!

I love these old aqua garden pieces that can be repurposed! This one is in a cute old wheelbarrow to show it off better!

And aren't old chairs fun in the yard? Paint this one a fun bright summer color and put your freshly cut posies in the bottles for instant chic!
Summer weather is here so get out and enjoy it!!
all the best,

Yard Sale Mania!

So it's now Saturday evening, Day 2 of the yard Sale event at Station 8. I am numb. I can barely move. Oh my goodness gracious me. We sold EVERYTHING! Almost. And yet, Day 3 will begin again tomorrow, Sunday, and I can't even imagine we have any more to bring out. But I will go into the deep dark recesses of my "Stockroom" and see what I can find to entice shoppers to return yet again!!

We piled it high, heaped it up, marked it down, then marked it down some more, then bargained with people, and we Had a Blast!!!

So I think this bed may still be available. I can't remember. Isn't it awesome? Guess how much? $500? No $300? Nope. How about a fabulous custom Montana made log bed, queen size, for ........$100??!!! Yes!

Okay and how about these adorable parlor chairs for your porch? Painted red maybe? Or robin's egg blue?
I know, super cute and they are still here!!!
Okay, that's all I've got for tonight. I must go rescue my husband who is still tarping and tying down the tables!
TaTa til later!

Newest vendor Amy's Blissful Blooms decor!

Welcome to my newest vendor, "Amy's Blissful Blooms Decor!"
Amy moved into Station 8 on Saturday July 16th, after much anticipation from many folks.
Her husband Josh, helped hang the windows and ladder shelf, so Amy would be set up for success, as I say, then he took off, and let us girls do our decorating thing!! Sweet man!

So here is a bit of Blissful Blooms, showing her carefree, fun, whimsical style, which is a much needed look here at Station 8! We love whimsy!

Amy has already proven she has a great eye, as a few of her best pieces have already sold!
Now, don't wait...hurry into the shop and snag that yummy chalkboard cake carrier, or that adorable blue retro cooler! Wouldn't it be darling on the porch or in your mud room for hats and stuff??? Hmmm, perhaps I'd better grab it!
I can just see her sweet handmade pillows on my porch too, can't you?

happy summer!!!
and welcome sweet Amy!

all the best,
Colette

Friends!

Do you know how much fun it is to see who walks into my shop on any given day?
It is simply THE BEST when I am surprised when the door opens and I see someone who I haven't seen in ages!
It was like that on Tuesday, every time I looked up when I heard the screen door slap shut, and I would see all my favorite people!
Karen Sue, Vicki, Cathy & John, Gale Marguerite--it was just one big Hug Fest! Wow! I am one lucky lady when I get to visit with all of you! Thank you for making my day special, and for reminding me that the reason I am here is because of the amazing people I am connected to!

all the best,
Colette
