A Visit With House Wren


Happy Friday!

I took a break from the unpacking of boxes, to pop on down the street
to Fredericksburg Trade Days, but this wasn't my usual shopping excursion.

Nope, I was there for the sole purpose of meeting Nancy and Mike
and these two most certainly did not disappoint!


I had heard others singing their praises for months now, but it wasn't
until just this morning that I saw firsthand the magic of House Wren...






I adore the ingenious mix of natural elements amidst the
timeless industrial beauty,






Their lighting creations are absolutely
out of this world.




Seltzer bottle? Top right?
Mine now.  :-)



























Love the clock?
Mmm hmmm, so did I...it came home with me.  :-)




I'll take one of everything, please!


There's beautiful Nancy right there!
Every bit as nice as she is lovely.

If you'd like to shop this incredible space 
you can find them in Barn 3, second space on the right. 
They'll be set up all weekend,
and you can check the Trade Days site for future dates.

In even more exciting news, House Wren, The Shop is opening
July 1, 2011 in Wimberley Texas...

House Wren
13801 RR 12, #101
Wimberley, Texas  78676


I'll be there, I hope to see you there, too!

Happy Weekend!

    I love how they soften all the hard industrial pieces using surpise elements.

    Now that you have moved to Fredericksberg I am not sure I can visit anymore ;( It makes me too sad. We were stationed at Fort Hood for four years and this was one of my most favorite places to visit....we often talked of retiring there...but we moved to Florida instead so our daughter could be around family. We are now hoping she goes to college in Texas so we can move back to the hill country. You are so lucky!!!! BTW....I'll still be visiting though green with envy ;)

    Oh Anne, what a tease. . . do you have any idea how far Texas is from Nova Scotia? Flying would be one thing, but if I actually wanted to bring anything home. . . I'm thinking hubby and I should plan a trip with a uhall for when he retires!!! :0) I'll break it to him gently. . .
