Exquisite Things Gift Shoppe Beginnings

I'm opening a gift shop this summer in Bemus Point that will feature my lamps and other things from me (Cindy).  This is the beginnings of what it will look like.  Today I went to an antique mall to look at possible furniture to be included in the shop on consignment.  They will be display pieces for me and sellable pieces as well. 

Here's one of my favorites.
This dresser, if it still available, will be used for a scarf and scarf tube jewelry display.  There is a matching dresser that I would also like to include in the shop if it is still available in May.

Exquisite Things Gift Shoppe will carry mostly handmade in the USA items that have a rose or flower theme or birds and butterflies, as well as feminine, frilly, lacy, victorian items.  This is not a country shop. 

Some items that I'm hoping to carry besides my lamps are my husband's exotic wood items, handmade cameo soaps, handmade soaps with roses, handmade candles with floral scents, scarves with jewelry tubes (there will be minimal jewelry in the shop), floral arrangements, photos, victorian stationery, and greeting cards, and some victorian antique furniture. 

Stayed tuned for more pictures.

Lakewood Ladies Club Vendor Shopping

The Lakewood Ladies Club sponsored our villages Christmas shopping days this year.  I was one of several vendors. It was a snowy day; perfect for Christmas shopping and the children to sit on Santa's lap.Some vendors present were Peterson's Corn Crib Candies, Bonnie's embroidery, three jewelry vendors, the historical society, The Fenton House Museum had a display, a lady with gorgeous crochet baby outfits and free cookies!

It was an okay day as far as sales go.  However, it will probably be my last show as I'm in the process of opening my own gift shoppe in Bemus Point this summer.  I hope to have more information on that soon.
