Lights of your life & home!

Lighting can be one of the most important decorating elements to any room.  It isn’t always used to provide light – sometimes it is a mood, sometimes it is for height and interest.  Here are some examples of the many different kinds of LIGHT you can find at ARTifacts

These two luminaries are found in Busy Bee's booth.  For only $5 each!  Perfect for your patio or garden area!

 

The luminary on the left is in The Daisy for $10, the old cabin style hanging lamp is $20 – from Relative Collections

Also from Relative Collections is a pair of the coachman and carriage lamps for $25 for the PAIR!  The blue ribbon wall lamp from Peggy’s collections is 30% off $15!

This wagon has a LIGHT inside!  COOL!  Has  removable accessories too.  That barrel and shovel on the side can be removed for projects!  Hee hee

The wine bottle chandelier from Jillian’s booth for only $40!  The classic antique glass chandelier in Jo’s booth is a bargain at $250

Cobolt glass hurricane also in Jo’s booth for $48.  This sweet lamp of soft pink glass has a partner- and are a bargain in Busy Bees for $28/pair.

Whimsical black lamp with feathers also in Busy Bees is $15, and a unique brass lamp with upturned lamp dome is $45 – beautiful!

These beauties – have amazing.  But they are sold so I won’t tell you what an amazing deal they were! 

So instead I will show you these two lamps, both from O’Baby (did you know I have been spelling it Oh Baby since the beginning?  So silly!  Attention to detail…) are $14 and $12.

FInally these wonderfully special blue lamps in Filo’s booth, have wonderful color and love the added hobnail detailing.  There is a pair for $35.

 

You can’t resist these items that will help be the Light in your life!

New Arrivals!

So, I have to admit I have been so worn out by blogging with the 15/50/15 sale that I haven’t been on the ball with new posts as I should be.  My apologies!  I want to start with the reminder of the Mixed Media class we will have next week. 

I have really enjoyed Kimberly’s classes, and continue to be able to use all the techniques she is teaching us in class for all kinds of other projects.  AND my husband is enjoying having unique art pieces in the house – I can create art that I am proud enough of to display!  THIS is no small miracle!

To learn more about this class – check out the Special Events & Classes link on our blog.

Ok – now on to new arrivals at the shop!

FIrst, while some of these items have been in the shop for over a week – they are still new arrivals – those of you who shop with us once a week will just have to bare with us and enjoy this refresher.  <grin>

Oh Baby always have fun new pieces that we can count on being unique and wonderfully special.  All the items I have purchased from Oh Baby my friends always comment that they love that piece!  I love this new chair and trunk!  And while I didn’t capture the lamp as well as I could have – she has these amazing brass, ceramic and glass lamps also.  One is the light blue you see here – the other is a light blush color.

All kinds of new goodies in Busy Bees!  Including those 2 amazing Norman Rockwell presidential couple prints. 

Appealing Designs has been busy at work with this piece.  It is 3 pendants in one!  She has created a latch on this piece so you can change out the cabochon (fancy word for round rock!) for a different one.

I have always enjoy Gabriele Wardeiner’s abstract art.  But this particular set I LOVE!  The colors (not conveyed very well in this photo) are wonderfully soothing!

Gail Meyer has been busy at work adding several new pieces to her booth.  I love the series with the fruit on the vine – this photo shows the limes, but she also pears and oranges to go with this set.  And for those of you who follow Paige’s blog at Hodgepodge-Home know that decorating in 3’s is always a must!  Gail also added several ocean/side images.  Boats, lighthouses and more.  Makes me ready for summer!

Guy Bozard has created another wood masterpiece.  This table is just beautiful – and add to it that it is useful in some many ways, you can’t beat it!

The breeze that the spring time brings makes me want to play with scarves in the fields, watching the light weight fabric flowing in the wind.  These amazing scarves by Eunice Kern can provide that child like fun for you anytime with the scarf to match your spring collection.

Quack…..’nuf said.

 

There you have it!  A few new arrivals.  Come downtown today to see what else we have in-store for you!

See you downtown!

Come back this weekend for your clue for Tuesday’s featured vendors!

Patriotic Decorating

Summer is upon us, and it makes me want to pull out all my summer decor and freshen up the look around the house. This year, I need some new ideas to give a new twist to my look.

So, I turn to 2 of our vendors at ARTifacts. Busy Bee & Junky Monkey. Busy Bee has redone their booth entirely this past weekend, and it doesn't look at all like it did Saturday morning. They added many new pieces - but with the theme today I want to focus on their new Americana display.
I love the Colonial Drummer cross stitch, the vintage thermos, and the eagle tray - ok - I love the entire display.

There are also several items in Junky Monkey's booth that are seasonally appropriate. I already love these salvage wood stars that she has been making for some time now, but for this time of year I am finding more additional excuses to purchase one! Junky Monkey is one of our featured vendors this month - and she has out done herself getting the booth stocked up for the season. Come see for yourself! Hurry, because this stuff goes fast!
