More for Valentine's Ideas!

Most of you know that at the top of our stairs to enter ARTifacts off of Strawberry Alley, you will see our display gathered from all of our vendor booth based on the season or the theme. This first photo is from our front display with a Valentine's Day theme. Ashley, my amazingly wonderful right hand gal, set most of this months display - and it looks great! The collection shown here has pottery by the Loose Potter, art cards by Gabriele, photo cards by Ashley, vintage hats from Vintage Mary, a coral and wood silver anklet from Pat Jones jewelry and handmade soaps from Dollar Scents. All perfectly pink and red gifts for this special holiday.

Last year, in Romantic Home Magazine (available at Hodgepodge) I fell in love with these Valentine Tussy's made by Elizabeth House. I decided then that I would have to make them for myself. But didn't get around to it in 2009. This year I did them! I made one for myself and then a few extra for the shop. One we will be raffling off as part of our Birthday celebration this coming Thursday night. The others are for sale.

So, what IS a tussy you may be asking! Traditionally they are any form of container, decorated and includes gifts. The idea is that you give them as gifts to your friends and family. The one shown here has vintage ribbon and lace, a vintage dollie, vintage 3 strand pearl choker, a Valentine hanging decoration that can be used after the other items have been removed from the tussy, and a vintage teacup and saucer.

Come sign up for our drawing to receive one of these fun vintage style tussies.

Cheers!

Nine Ladies Dancing

On the Ninth Day of Christmas my true love gave to me ----

10% off all the Loose Potters in stock pottery! Beautiful one of a kind hand thrown creations. She has many fabulous colors, and many shapes and sizes to choice from.

As an added bonus - enjoy all half off each bar of soap with the purchase of a equal or higher priced bar of soap. These soaps are not only beautiful and smell incredible but they also are made with the cold process. The cold process has no detergents and no harsh chemicals - resulting in a soap that is gentler on sensitive skin and and is non-drying.

Remember - to get this special deals just mention the discounts on the blog to us in the store - and you will immediately receive these great deals - REMEMBER - you HAVE to ask for the discount on the blog to receive them - it is not advertised in the stores at all!

Happy Holidays!

on the 4th day of Christmas ....

....my true love gave to me - some really beautiful works of art. The Loose Potter is our vendor offering the deal for day 4. Her beautiful and unique designs are perfect for gifts for everyone.

Most of The Loose Potter's pieces are food & dishwasher safe (making them an even NICER gift!)

Unique pieces and stylish design. All of these pots would be perfect for chips, dip, fruit, items from your pockets, car keys, and anything else you need to keep contained in style.
Teapots and character pots are in high on my list this year. Her teapots are so beautiful, I would love to show it off to friends as I serve them a nice hot cup of tea!

Function and design.

Buy one pot and get a second pot of equal or lesser value for 50% off! Great deal! You don't want to miss out on this one.

Celebrate the 4th day of Christmas only Friday, Nov 27 & Saturday, Nov 28. These are already 2 great days to shop downtown and avoid the mall mania. Come downtown!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Amazing Weather

So - this has been the most beautiful July ever! Can you stand how amazing it is? I am in heaven and it is a wonderfully comfortable temperature up here at ARTifacts. I almost put on a jacket this morning cuz I was getting chilly!

So - what's new? Well I have already mentioned that Patsy Dollar, The Loose Potter, has joined us here at ARTifacts, but I think I neglected to share many photos of her wonderful items with you all - I am fixing that right now!
I love these little plates! I am considering sending a set to my best friend in England, for her to serve her kids (my Godchildren) snacks on. Not only do I see these for small snacks, bread, or even a holder for my corn on the cob - but they're all kinds of other uses for this set of plates. How about for candles, keys, jewelry on your dresser table, etc!
I love the color on this collection of pots!

Our Loose Potter also has several bowls she has added appropriate phrases on the top edge. Great gifts or bunco prizes!

My other best friend's Mom collected teapots for many years. Every time I see these teapots, I think of Pam. She would have loved these pieces!

There are more options at the shop - I am only sharing a few of The Loose Potter's art - now come in and see the rest for yourself!

Hope this posting finds you all well - and enjoying amazing weather!

Cheers!
