So Fresh!


 Whew the Christmas season went by like a blur!!!! And the Cottage Garden girls have been busily opening up boxes of all the new spring and everyday decor.... Oh I just love the new look it is sweet romantic cottage look.... We have hooks with muslin and burlap flowers, sweet bunnies and birds and beautiful lamps....






 Clouches filled with blue eggs, finial birdhouses and great little plants....
 Love this seed box that we filled with little pots of flowers, birds and moss....
 Glazed ceramic pastel colored pots all stacked in a wonderful wire basket....

 Amazing clocks too!!!!
 Fun plant mini trellises....
 This metal pot has a metal hose around it with a nozzle and faucet.... so cute!!!!
 These wire cages with a sweet bird on top have been selling like crazy, so fun to decorate....

 Yes that is a giant clothes pin... so fun....

Well that is just a few of the wonderful items that we have been getting into the #1 shop.... It is like mother nature has breathed fresh air into it.... can't wait for you all to see what a transformation we have made from Christmas to Spring busting out all over.....

New Clothes!

Wow  we are in the middle of such a busy season with Christmas just a couple of weeks away but just had to show you a few outfits Meilan put together that would be great to wear for a casual Christmas party or for Christmas day.....
 
This great sweater tunic and rayon pants from CMC is so cozy and yet so stylist and cute.... the tunic also comes in an eggplant color....top it off with a shimmery scarf and you are ready for a fun evening.....
 
 Our company Kleen makes such sweet clothes and they are quite the hit at the shop.... the pants have little fabric knots that have the Asian influence.... and the jacket has such a cute plaquet in the back....
 Love this new Cut Loose cowl neck tunic in a beautiful silvery jacquard soft fabric.... it also comes in a lovely lavendar shade.... feels so good on....
 For those boho girls we have we have this fun floral skirt with a wide band of lace along the bottom..... Meilan put a CMC cowl neck blouse in chocolate brown on top and one of our very popular charm scarves....
 Just got this in yesterday it is sooooo cute and fun.... you know how we all love polka dots, because when we get anything in polka dots it just doesn't last very long.  Anyway this lightweight coat is just too fun!!!!
 And this coat from Janska sold out and we just got these back in too.... the Audrey coat is so fun and just the right weight for Phoenix.... and yes it is suppose to cool down this coming week.  yah!!!! we can start wearing coats and boots.....
 This little two piece top is just the perfect party top.... you can't see it but at the bottom there are three rows of black lace and the fabric is soft and shimmery.....
Hope to see you all soon... and don't forget we will be open till 10pm for the next two weekends.... Christmas is 18 days away and we can help with any gift giving ideas you may need.....or help you put a great outfit together.....

Fun Idea!

We just got in our bedspring wreaths made in Texas... we just keep selling out of these because they are so unique!!!!... We decorated them for Christmas and they have turned out so cute....Even fun to string our little led lights through them ....and yes they are really made from old bedsprings.....we have small, medium and large ones in stock right now but don't know how long they will last... call if you want us to hold one for you or even decorate it for you....


 They look so cool even without anything on them....

 On the porch we decorated an old step ladder and it makes such a fun statement....
 Candy cane sign and garland on an old pot holder.....
 A birdbath with a snowman and our little led lights that run on 3 AA batteries so they can be popped anywhere... a wire clouche covers the little winter scene....
 Even decorated a hanging basket with garland wound inside basket and piled christmas balls in the middle....
 This beautiful bed spring wreath is hanging behind the check out counter on an old door.... I'm telling you these wreaths are so much fun to decorate.... your imagination will go wild.....
Don't forget we have extended hours for the next 3 weekends... Friday and Saturday nights open till 10pm.... we have so many wonderful ideas for Christmas presents and decorating.....

Oh Christmastime!!!!!

Well we made it through our first Glendale Glitters weekend and what a weekend it was.... everywhere you looked there were lights and decorations and lots of people....
 
Here are a few more pictures of #1 shop and all the sparklys that you will behold when you walk in the door....
 
 

 
  This vignette is so great becuase we took a wire flat birdcage and decorated it for the season....

 Every cupboard was filled with trees or snowmen or birds or angels and lots of battery operated candles which are so great because you won't have to worry about blowing out the flame...they are on timers....








Hope to see your smiling faces soon.....

Christmas is Just About Here!

 
Or at least at the shop.... we have been decorating up a storm and the shop is looking better and better as we get more ornaments on the trees and garlands.....
 
Love these beautiful paper flowers on this flocked tree.....
 
 I am such a nut for snowman so you will see them peeking out from various nooks and crannies.... and we have the popular blocks again.... boy they sold out so fast last year....
 
 This little tree is loaded with silver mercury glass ornaments and red mercury glass birds....
 
 Sweet little vignette with santa board and the little box of the 25 days of Christmas.... you can tuck a little something in the tiny drawers and someone will have a sweet little gift all December long....
 Oh wow.... love these pokes with big poofs on the end.... we arranged them in a beautiful red bottle....
 Did I tell you I just love snowmen.....
 This little felt mouse is the cutest little thing....

 Oh my got Debbie to stand still long enough for me to snap her picture before she was off to her next task.....
 And Monica still had enough energy to give me a smile and then up the ladder she went to do more vignetting.....
Well girls here are a few more sneak peeks but it is just so unbelievable inside the shop!  Sooooo hope to see you on Friday Night November 9th..... it is going to be magnificent by then......can't wait to see what you think!!!!!!
