Just popping in to say "HI" again and let you see a few new things just put up! Click over to our "THIS JUST IN" page to see the details! :)   

Today is "Cyber Monday", the web's biggest shopping day of the year! Cyber Monday always follows "Black Friday"  (which always confused me...  we have Thanks giving Thursday, followed by "things-gettin' Friday"... but I digress...). Cyber Monday is a day set apart to encourage the kickoff of your holiday shopping -- completely online! I don't know about you, but I do AT LEAST 80% of my shopping online ALL YEAR LONG (excluding groceries, of course -- but let me tell you, if I had a service locally that would provide that, I'd be IN!). No, that wasn't a typo. At least 80% of my shopping, personal and gift-giving, is done online. All year. Part of this is due to the fact that I live in an area that is sort of  (to me, anyway) in the country.  We do not have a Target or any of the "usual" chain or big-box stores nearby.  There is one grocery store I go to and our nearest Wal-Mart is still all most 20 minutes away.   The nearest

 First, HELLO AGAIN!   :) Long time no chat, huh? And because of that, there is SO much to cover in this post! First, everything you see in the photo collage above is for sale on the site and so far things are going fast! The burlap ribbon and bags are FABULOUS  as is the spinning card tower . Wow.  Seriously.  LOVE that piece!! Oh, and the ironstone European-style pitchers ... yes... LOVE those. The collection sewn from true vintage canvas has been doing so well! The bags, the pillow covers, the rugs,  all are now listed and up for sale. Thank you so much for your sweet patience while they got  photographed and up on the site. One click  HERE  will take you there. Now, to catch you up on some info that may affect your  holiday shopping: 1.)  We have JUST A HANDFUL of copies of the Autumn issue of Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine. So few, in fact, that we took them off the site so we would not over-sell them If you'd like a copy, simply drop me an email or phone us up.  We'l

Can you imagine the beauty that must surround you daily, if THIS is your art studio?? Or, if THIS is your side window? Or THIS, your back yard?  Each of the images above is actually one of Molly Coddle's original photographic art transformed into large, glossy decorative wall tiles . Aren't they INCREDIBLE? Molly was so sweet to offer one of her tiles for a giveaway... THIS ONE: And I just can't thank her enough! Molly's shop has more to offer than I could ever show you here, but suffice to say -- if you want to get a jump on your holiday shopping... START WITH HER!   :) One fabulous gift idea are her many gorgeous sets of tumbled marble coasters : Love these! I'm so thrilled to have been able to introduce you to Molly and her art. I've carried her creations in my store for years and I can tell you,  they are second to none. Thank you to all who entered and as always, never fear -- if you didn't win this giveaway, there are always more tries just around th

I've been away from my blog (and your blogs) for  FAR TOO LONG!! Your response to my hubby filling in for me on the last blog post was SOOOO sweet!!  Thank you! He read each of your comments and he smiled with each one. You guys rock  - he was definitely feelin' the love of the blogging world!  :) There is so much to catch up on, but let's start this first blog post back with something FUN --  A GIVEAWAY!!!

If the beauty of these tiles looks familiar, it may be because you've seen the

Hello everyone!   Yes, it's been a while since Ruth has put up a new blog post.   Never fear! She is doing fine! My wife has been incredibly  busy lately! That's not a bad thing, though! Of course, having me home for a well deserved vacation has kind of kept her occupied along with plenty of other stuff going on around here! ( I haven't been a lot of help, so I offered to do a post for her, and she actually caved in and let me!) We did get in a new shipment of the Autumn issue of the Jeanne d'Arc magazine. All the pre-orders we have will be shipped within the next  couple days, so you should have them soon! Also, we got in some new vintage canvas bags and pillows. Those will be up on the store site as soon as  we can get pictures taken. I am reminded of how much effort really goes in to running a store, even if it's totally online...that might even be more work  than an actual bricks and mortar store! Despite my usually busy schedule, I want to help Ruthie whenever
