Holiday Shop Hop

Holiday Shop hop is here tonight in Grand Rapids. Come and see our space at Bluedoor. There will be lots of holiday cheer and fun to go around.

I hope all of you are busy enjoying the wonders of this season. We have been so busy that we realized today that we haven't changed our Thankgiving photos or done a new blog. So today I am doing a short blog just to get the Christmas season up on our blog.
Will add more soon!

We have found ourselves very busy this fall and here we are at Thanksgiving already. Tomorrow we make our trek up north for our Thanksgiving feast with CJ's family on Thursday.

As we think about being thankful we can't not help but think of the many clients, friends and family that have supported us this past year in so many ways. We are grateful for each and everyone of you.

We are busy like elves in our studio and work shop getting much ready for our spaces at Bluedoor and Then and Now. CJ is doing a few last minute project for design clients. When we get back from Thanksgiving we will have more to share with you about our various projects and finds.

In the meantime may all of you have a wonderful time this Thanksgiving and coming holiday season.

Holiday Shopping and Supporting Local

We have been gearing up for the holidays with lots of vintage finds and new handmades for the holiday season. Tomorrow we are making a trip up north to restock at Then and Now. Then I we need to come back and work on product until we take a break again next week and head back up north for Thanksgiving with CJ's family and another load of goodies for Then and Now.
If you haven't been to Bluedoor here in Grand Rapids lately you have got to stop by and check things out. Christmas is beginning to make a big appearance at the store. We really feel like our space has never looked better. We have a new dealer across from us at Bluedoor who's look dovetails very nicely with us.
The last show we did was Beneath the Wreath about a week and a half ago. The show exceeded our expections and we loved the many new local shoppers we meet and introduced to Bluedoor. We value all of you who show up for our shows and patronize our spaces in Petoskey and Grand Rapids. Supporting local artists, antique dealers, local people who creat product and services is such an important way we can all support our ecomony and neighbors who are trying to make a living. So take the pledge with us to shop small, spend local, eat local, and enjoy local!

Halloween

We hope all of you have a good and safe Halloween today. I have lots of great memories taking my children out trick or treating when they were little.
We are busy getting ready for the Beneath the Wreath show this weekend. More on that in the next 24 hours.

Vintage Fabric

Dan & I are busy getting ready to do the Grand Rapids, Junior League annual fundraiser shopping event held at The Cultural Center at St. Nicholas, 2250 East Paris Ave SE, Grand Rapids, Mi. November 2, 3 & 4. I will post photos and more info about that show later in Oct.

Today I wanted to just share some eye candy with you. I have a love of vintage fabrics, collecting them and using them. This morning the sun was coming through our 130 year old windows in such a pretty way that inspired me to take a few photos to share with you. Enjoy!

XOXO



Bluedoor

 Our space at Bluedoor has been redone! While we were gone to the Country Living show our space at Bluedoor had a badly needed paint job.

 The ceiling was painted white which helps our space look alot brighter and the floor was repainted in a great diagonal checker board pattern.

 The day after we arrived home from Country Living we decide to finish the project by painting our walls as well with a warm color(Benjamin Moore copley gray)  that complimented the new look on our floor and ceiling.

The space has now been put back together so stop by and check out our new look. Bluedoor has never look better and we have lots of great product to check out.
