Happy Saturday!! It’s finally feeling like fall and we have some great new furniture items in the shop!

Check out this fabulous tension pole lamp with painted glass shades!

There’s also a beautiful hanging lamp-I found pictures of it hung in the previous owner’s home back in the late sixties or early seventies!!

There is a cute painted dresser, plus the nicest Ward Furniture Company (not Montgomery Ward) mid century dresser I have seen. It has a nightstand that needs a little love but what a great pair!

Also some beautiful upholstered chairs and a love seat!

We have to show off my favorite set that has been waiting for just the right home. The green upholstery and light bent wood are outstanding examples of mid-century furniture!!!

Don’t wait-come find your new treasure!!

It’s finally Friday!!!! Come spend time with us this weekend and find your next treasure! We continuously have new items out.

I LOVE our new fall wreaths from the Little Flower Shop-they custom made them after talking through my kind of unsure ideas (this is not my forte lol) and they are spectacular!!! Thank you for making my storefront a little more beautiful 😍

Have a great weekend and hope to see you soon!

It's finally the weekend and time to relax and do a little shopping!!

I tried posting twice already today on my phone and no idea where they are, so switching to my laptop-hope this time it works! 🥹

We have some beautiful mid-century art glass, brass, and items from our local artisans! Pottery, woodworking-charcuterie and cutting boards, windchimes, ink pens and body care items, including my favorite shower steamers.

There are also some pics of a couple of our vendor booths with a wonderful variety of items!

Have a great weekend and I hope to see you at the Aurora Downtown Project Downtown Matters meeting tomorrow evening!

Good morning!! I will be posting pics over the next few days showcasing our hardworking vendors so that you can see the variety of treasure they are sourcing for you. Stay tuned!!

For today, please see our new last chance corner. Items here are only here a little longer and are 50% off. That’s right-you get a deal and they get a new home!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Books, books, and more books-and these aren’t nearly all of them! When he was alive, my husband Tom was the biggest book lover I ever knew. We amassed a huge personal collection, and he sold books on eBay for over 20 years.

We branched out into other things because books alone became unsustainable with market changes and e-readers, kindles, etc. But neither of us lost our love for them.

I am still holding on to some-particularly historical and a few authors, a few author signed ones, plus some really special small press runs, but would love for most of these to find new homes and people to read and enjoy them. 🥰

Fiction, non-fiction, science fiction, fantasy, children’s, biographical, cookbooks, you name it-there is a lot to see and priced to sell, not sit here on a shelf!! Take some home to read and share! 📚📖📕📗📘📙.

My family had to move them from Jefferson City back home and none of us want to carry that many books ever again 😂.

Hey everyone!! My very favorite store item sold today-not gonna lie it was bittersweet because it was in my home for a long time. But it’s beautiful and I know the new owner will love it as much as I did 🥰🥰🥰

You have to see it-this MCM swung vase is a classic and the size is hard to come by!! You never know what you’ll find here.

We have the chickens and roosters resting up for spring, and Halloween is in full swing here 💀👻🎃!!! See the pics and decide what you can’t live without-so many fun items.

Last thing for today-come see us for the best smelling candles and stock up for fall! We burn one of her signature scents in the store and I love it!!

More to come soon-keep watching and share with your friends and family!
