Almost Ready To Shine!

You've caught us with our bloomers down again! We're not quite dressed up in the magical finery that we like to present to you, but we thought you'd like to see what we look like before the curtain opens this Thursday at 5 PM!

There's no laying down on the job when you have a lot of work to do. This bed spring in a delicious green will become a wondrous display when it's up on the wall:



Need a ladder? We've got all kinds of them to sort through and price!



All this regal chandelier lacks is a hook on the ceiling before it makes its shining debut.



We can't wait to see what one-of-a-kind baubles jewelry artist Ann Tatum has to share this month!



There are lots of things on the floor yet to be hung on the walls!



More empty walls await some artful arraigning of frames, while tabletop displays are still packed away.



Linens and laces are waiting to be fluffed, folded and stacked onto their shelves:



Suck in your stomach and follow me down the hallway!



There are still boxes of summer treasures waiting to be unpacked:



This looks a like a trail of pirate booty!



We can't wait to welcome you!



Don't miss how we pull it all together for our July opening: July 26 - 29th!

It's Our Treat!

When our curtain is closed that's a good thing. Sure, you can't come in, but it means goodies are being brought in and arranged to be deliciously pretty for your ultimate arrival! Never ones to disappoint, we'd do anything to make you happy. Like give you a little sample to whet your whistle. An appetizer, if you will. Grab a little plate & napkin and let's go!



Can I serve you a little smidgen of this?



and just a slice of that?



Good thing you left room for these luscious layers:



and the candy-coated sweets.



And to top it off, something rich, yet light.


Oops, you've got a little something on your chin, there.

Still hungry? There's a huge buffet being laid out. A little something for everyone. And it all starts this Thursday, May 19th at 6 PM, with treats being offered through Sunday, May 22. Go HERE to see our hours and upcoming events!

The Walls Have Ears (And Mouths!)

The scene: the Room With A Past sale has just seen the end of Sunday evening sale day. The customers who perused the many treasures and filled the building with bustling energy for the last 4 days have all gone. The pastry crumbs have been washed off the platters, the lamps have been turned off, the curtains are closed and all is quiet. Until.........
Cat Hanger was the first to speak: "It's as quiet as a mouse in here!"

"Ha, ha. You know that was only funny the first time, right?" squeaked Mouse Hanger.


"Please don't say "MOUSE"!" pleaded Pink Elephant.


"Knock it off you guys! I've got a HUGE headache. Man, I urn for an aspirin"


"Ha, ha--good one! You really know how to pepper a conversation!" exclaimed Peppy, as Salty felt worthy of a chuckle.


"Well, another lovely sale has been all buttoned up." mentioned Altered Sisters in unison


"And the customers were all so suet!" noted Three Birds.


"Stop, stop, stop!" begged the Puppies Door Stop.

"My dogs are tired" snorted Small Skunk.
"Really? Well that ranks pretty high with me! " retorted Dog Figurine.

"Look at all the dust!" noticed the Bunnies. "We've all got to hop to it and clean this place up to ready things for the next opening!"

"Well then, we'd better stop lion around!" remarked Lion Statue.

"Then let's get cookin'!" Chef Shakers said as they all worked busy as bees to clean the entire shop.


"You know a little birdie told me the next sale is March 17, 18, 19 & 2oth!" chirped Porcelain Bird.
