Holiday Decorating

 
The holidays are coming up and will be
here before we know it.

Since we've been busy getting both the shops
decorated for the holidays I thought I'd post some
ideas for decorating your home for the holidays.

Check out all the cute ways you can
use a  galvanized pail or washtub to
display trees poinsettias, etc.

to display all those Christmas cards.

Wedding Photo

One of the best parts of this business is helping our customers find that certain item or piece they have been searching for. We love to hear how they plan to use items they buy from us
 and see pictures of the items in their homes, office, etc.
 
This past year we've had a lot of brides who have come into our shops
or have contacted us looking for certain items for their weddings.
 
 
Check out the picture that was sent to us recently from one of our customers.

All the architectural pieces in the photo are from Ms. Mac's Antiques.
 
Photo taken by Jessica Smith Photography
Check out her website.
Her work is amazing!
 
 
Check out her blog to see more pictures from this beautiful wedding!

Wishing Matt & Bri a lifetime of happiness together!
