What's New....

Since we opened in October, the shop has changed so much. Our focus is still on furniture and home decor but we have added much more.  We are always being asked if we have things on consignment. Up until recently, we had only a few vendors, the majority of the furniture was done by Nancy and I.

We are pleased to add several new vendors to our shop. The photos above are done by Becqi Sherman of  "Where's Q" photography. "Q" as she is known to her friends and family, travels all over the world snapping the most wonderful scenic photos as well as amazing wildlife.

Each of her photos is framed and ready to hang in your home. Along with the wall art she also has a nice selection of greeting cards.
 Steve and Sandy of "Time Warp Collectibles" has been with us since the start. They have some really choice antiques and vintage items in their section. The great thing about their items - we can all remember having them in our homes growing up. Fun how a bowl or toy can evoke memories from your childhood.

 Nancy and I continue to paint and refurbish on a daily basis. It's surprising how many pieces we have sold since our opening. One thing for sure, we truly enjoy it. I don't think I have ever loved doing anything as much as I enjoy this.
 These photos are of all the sections of the shop, some are done by color, others by different rooms in your home.


 This is the new hutch that Nan just finished. Gotta love the reminiscent feel. We had one very similar when we were growing up. (It's been painted tricycle red for my Miss Mustard Seed Paint display)

 Next Act welcomed Angela this week as a vendor. She brings a wonderful fresh look to the shop. Her unique pieces are sure to please. We say that we refinish, refurbish and repurpose... that's Angela's forte.
 This 1950's hutch is done beautifully. I love the way she added the fabric to the back for added dimension.
 Here is another of her repurposed pieces. Take a vintage vanity that has no mirror and add a cushion as a back rest... instantly it turns into a seat. Her creativity is amazing.
We sell drop leaf tables on a weekly basis. Here are two with different purposes. One is a really nice dining room or kitchen table and the other a coffee table.

Are you familiar with Irish Belleek? We have a nice selection of cups and saucers, ornaments, bowls and more. Additional pieces will be added soon.


This Vintage stove belongs to Becky Leysen. If you were a Fabric Town customer, you probably remember seeing it in the shop.
 How sweet is this vanity? Nancy chose the fabric for the chair. The green knobs and lamp work so well with the lime in the print. What little girl wouldn't like to sit in front of the mirror and play dress up. Come to think of it, I would like to have it to put my makeup on each morning.
Nice choice Nan... the fabric adds a lot of flare to this chair.




 New desk and matching chair set. Great for adults or children. Nice size and the soft color is sure to work into many decors.

 Another of Angela's creations. The vanity is so cute but the little chair totally finishes the look.



 OK Quilter's... here's the perfect cabinet for your stash. Funny that it's the first thing I thought of when we got it. OR I see it as a great cabinet in your bedroom to store sweaters and linens.
 Nice deep shelves and the cabinet is probably 6 feet tall. 
Vintage dresser with glass knobs. The funny thing about dressers that are chipped and distressed, I love them. However, I can remember a time when I wanted only modern up to date furniture. I guess with age comes wisdom. I want the vintage look, the warmth and aged feeling.

 Clean, Crisp and wonderful. Angela strikes again....

I can't tell you how many ladies have come in and drooled all over this lovely  hutch. They have brought in Mother in Laws, Husbands, Daughters and Fathers. They all want it but nobody has the intestinal fortitude  to change their dining room to Duck Egg and Old Ochre. I think it would be absolutely wonderful done in a soft setting like we have it displayed. Poor Jeff, I told him I was thinking of redoing our apartment and may do a soft color pallet this time. He said the same thing he always says when I decide to change things up..... "OK".


Patti Hokanson makes the wonderful Embroidered Pillows. She is even taking orders for custom Monogram pieces. In the next little while she will have selection of handmade pincushions, key fobs and much more in the works. Many of the quits hanging on the walls of the shop are also done by Patti.
I like the detail in this little end table / night stand. 



 This is a custom order. We deliver it this weekend to its new home.

 This is just too cute. Again, I picture a little girl sitting at it, maybe coloring or doing her homework.

A desk wouldn't be complete without a matching chair. This fabric coordinates with the drawers perfectly.
Last but far from least is my "Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint" display. This is just a picture of the hutch, the display is in the process of  being moved to it's own section. This hutch was my Grandmothers, when my parents got married she gave it to my Mother in 1952. It has seen better days - but now will see many more dressed in tricycle red.

I hope you enjoyed the new tour. New pieces are added on a daily basis, the shop is ever changing.
Be sure to sign up for our newsletter and "Like" us on Facebook to see the new things as I post them each day.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Patti.
