Oh don't get me wrong, I can still sell a star to a primitive shopper but they don't fly out the door like they use to. We are a primitive gift store and the newest trend in America seems to be AMERICAN MADE. This is hopefully a way of life, not a fad or a trend. We sell many handmade items from Curtains and linens, Jewelry, Two Made in Maine Candle Lines. We have doll makers and seasonal items that are all created by hard working hands across America. I have a Twig Wreath Maker, and 4 Furniture Makers.
We love our sign maker too. Our Artisans work hard to create well designed, quality items that you can be proud to display in your home or to give as a gift. We are always looking for new handcrafters to add to our forever growing inventory of hand made items.
A new ( or maybe not so new trend ) is Repurposing Flea Market Finds, We do our share of that also. We will take Chairs like in this picture and repaint and repurpose them, We believe in showing New Love to Old Things so that this world is not just using up item after item to keep up with the generation that believes, Oh I don't want that anymore, so I will just throw it out and get something new. We show you how you can still love your Old Items while making them New to you!
Check out the two hutches that we repurposed. I truly should have posted before and after pictures so that you could have seen the remarkable difference. I am all about the repurposing aspect. I am loving the change that can come from a coat of paint and some distressing. There is of course a bit more to it but it seems to put me in my happy place. I thought I could keep you posted on some of the fun things that I feel are up and coming so keep checking back and I will give you some insight to how I choose to decorate the store from season to season and why I chose the way I do. Happy Day my friends!!!
