SMITTEN!!! The photos are FINALLY here!

Finally!

Our beautiful room at

SMITTEN

here in Fredericksburg, Texas

is stocked to the brim and ready for shoppers!

The store will be opening this week,

on Thursday,

but I was down at the shop snapping away

Sunday afternoon just to give all of you

a preview!

This post is packed full of photos,

so I'll let them do most of the talking....

There's no "my side of the room"

or "her side of the room".

All our stuff is happily intermingled,

as I think our styles complement each other quite well.

And I'm even selling my vintage scale which made

the cover of Artful Blogging magazine!

 I'm a contributor to the wonderful magazine

FOLK, so you can always be assured of

finding a copy at our shop.

{ goodbye birdcage...SOLD! }

And of course, I'm fortunate enough to be 

sharing this room with my good friend Shannon of

Rusty and Redone 

{ goodbye sweet pink and yellow chairs of mine...sold right away! }

{ goodbye beautiful watering can of mine...SOLD! }

{ goodbye colorful frame of mine...SOLD! }

 'Tis all for now!

Our space here at Smitten will constantly

be evolving, with new treasures being brought in weekly.

I'm sorry to say that we cannot ship items,

so you'll just have to make the trip to Fredericksburg

and shop the store in person.

I'll look forward to seeing you!

 More photos of the rest of this lovely shop

to come in the days ahead!

And many thanks to
Jennifer, Debbie and Paula
for allowing us to be a part
of this wonderful adventure!

On the agenda this weekend...
junking and restocking galore
at Fredericksburg Trade Days!
Maybe I'll see you there!

Have a great week!

The Rainbow's End

My dear sweet cousin sent me a series of photos

of my precious mom that I had never seen before...

family slides, and this striking image

was among them.

She said that her dad ( my uncle and my mom's brother )

had labeled this particular shot

"Jo Anne Sees a Rainbow."

I smile as I reflect on the fact that she has now

 actually seen, face to face,

the One who creates rainbows.

Happy Mother's Day, Mama.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss you,

and every time I see a rainbow now, 

I will smile and think of you.

I'm Still Alive!!!

I promise, I'm still here!

There's just zero time to blog lately,

as things are in high gear for the

imminent grand opening of

SMITTEN!

Smitten is the darling new vintage shop

where I will be selling my wares 

with my friend Shannon

of Rusty and Redone, and we've been

working extra hard, along with the other dealers,

to bring you some truly unique and must-have treasures.

I also have about a half dozen editorial photography

projects in the works, so when I'm not stocking the shop,

I'm up to my eyeballs in photo editing.

Ahhhh, my glamourous life. Ha!!!

I'll be snapping many pics of the new shop

in the days ahead, as well as announcing when

the grand opening will be taking place.

Have a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend!!
