Thank you for all of your kind comments and compliments~ (& your emails--could there have been a worse time for wireless glitches here? Just so you know, new emails sent to theporch@bwig.net last Fri/Sat (Feb 5-6) were not received.)
I laughed when I spotted the drill and Windex - behind our Country Living story on display with the gift of beautiful pink tulips - this photo says it all! 
We don't stop for long - the junking work goes on
A great pair of three nesting tables came in yesterday's load
The lighting is so pretty in the photos that I'm showing you two angles~
Faux has it's place here from time to time - this silk tulip bunch is full, pretty, colorful. (And, planted in a nice woven box that you can't see, they'll be $8.95~)
A start on unpacking the smalls while the Market was open yesterday afternoon - it creates quite a stir~ Everyone here loves to see what's in the bags and boxes, too.
Not old, but functional and good. We cater to alot of tastes and home needs here~First home kitchen display/storage? Would be a great garden work-piece, too. ($79)
This brassy table base will become a true trash-to-treasure. It will be painted, and hold a custom planter box we'll have built for it. Note the oval tin tray - nice.
~Lots of small stuff to unpack, including a big bin of ribbons we'll sort and use for packaging your finds.
Thank you to everyone who came out to our February Market~! We had a great time, and can't wait to start on the next one. TERESA
It's dark, but soothing and quiet coming down the steps from the Atelier to the PORCH level~
She didn't care what time it was. She modeled as on a runway, posing this way and that, it appears from the photos~
A favorite aviary toile linen fabric (soft blue), and wonderful 'distressed' finish on her frame - you can see a hint of the old, soft green.
Not far from her, a pair of channel-back modified wingbacks came in overnight. Reupholstered at some time since they were new, they appear to be from the 50's?
We love pairs of chairs~
A small black two drawer chest
These pieces were restocked late yesterday - black cabinet with two shelves and drawer ($59), and a white double shelf.
And, a few photos from closing time yesterday. One last look at
Yesterday, an artistic friend commented that she liked the double wreaths - nice.
I'm not wild about draped fabric, but I do like the way this feels~
The cast details of this lantern show off well against the Atelier tin ceilings.
Not a day goes by that we don't have friendly smiles and happy people here~
And, every so often, rest your eyes here~
I'm loving the old pinks and chocolates in one of our jewelry displays
Can you tell?
We heard the word 'garden' alot yesterday....
~We're getting anxious
Yes, it feels this good here. We consider it quite a compliment if you relax while here~
Great old pedestal on this table; the large square velvet ottoman behind is only $99!
Tin and iron, softened by the round transferware plates. Do you have a favorite vignette where you are today? ~TERESA
As you enter the lower level~ everything is ready and waiting for you
Wouldn't you like to know her story?
Decoupage on left, original painting on right
A good assortment of vintage textiles are here. Note the hand-stitching in heavy brown thread along the edges~
