TONIGHT

is First Friday in Downtown Statesboro! We're open late this evening and we have students in the shop
waiting for people to stop in on the Scavenger Hunt...go to different busineses, collect facts about recyling and the kids get some candy...

This month is also when the Shopping by Lantern Light is sponsored by the Mainstreet Farmer's Market...November 22nd and we'll be open that evening to share in the holiday shopping and general goodwill of Statesboro so we hope to see lots of people out enjoying the special evening...

K.I.S.S.

so, by now, just about everybody knows what K.I.S.S. stands for...

"Keep It Simple Stupid"...

not exactly the nicest way to put it but some times, we all forget that simple is good.

Making cupcakes to celebrate life is just one little way to add The Special to The Every Day...

I made these from a Family Favorite recipe...

But, seriously? a box mix and some canned frosting if you're really pressed for time and you're done.

Plus, I'll let ya'll in on a little secret...if you don't have eggs and/or oil for that box mix? water works just fine...you might not get the highest fluffiest rising cupcakes but they taste just wonderful anyway....

and then if you want to dress up those 20-minute cupcakes? just dig around in the cupboard for some of your holiday swag and voila! instant Everyday Celebration...

Life is too short to only celebrate according to the Red Letters on the calendar...

Happy Everyday!!!

When the word Autumn is mentioned...

not only do people think of cooler weather, pumpkins and roaring fires, but we also think of those wonderful fall colours...yellow...red...orange...brown...

But, Autumn is also a wonderful time of the year to look around at nature's bounty and see some amazing Pink!

 And so, this tablescape is in honour of Fall's Forgotten Colour, Pink...

Celebrating Fall's Arrival in Statesboro!

Here in our shop, I created a tablescape in honor of fall's technical beginning

in Statesboro...true fall-like temperatures will be a while getting here but it doesn't hurt to dream....

This tablescape is made up of items from different vendors that have booths in Vintage Connection

It seems as if many people do not truly care for amber glassware, but

I've found when you pair the golden glass with greens and reds and deep browns,

 it truly shines...
