       10- 5

Lights are off right now, but you will have to stop by and see all the new cool surprises Relics has- cement angels, fresh chocolates, antique treasures from France, great new jewelry....  

Item of the Week

This is perhaps the coolest  item I have found in a while ....

 

MOSSY WIRE! Perfect for wrapping up presents- tying up plants- making sculptures for your terrariums, 101 uses! You get 72 fun mossy feet on a roll for $9.99 

Cement

Found this image on eBay of all places, it makes me quite happy. I'd  like to say that I stopped liking shabby chic----- but I can't- some people think it went out of style, some people think that that it never left- one friend (Kathy) thinks that it is just now taking root in some rural areas. Not sure- but how can you not like chippy shappy warm and well loved??

Vials of Wonderment

Never seen these before- but I LOVE them. You will too!

You will find them here in a few weeks....

(Don't worry -no butterflies were harmed in the making of these sweet little necklaces)

or you can find them here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5346793

 

A new idea for an old display problem....

Modern Fabric

I really like his pattern- I wish I could give it a name or a maker/ but I just found it floating out there on the web- it makes me smile- not sure why- perhaps its the randomness of it.

Findlay Illinois- Goat Tower

A farmer in Findlay Illinois- built this tower for his Swiss goats- because in Illinois- there are no peaks, its  very very flat. At least the goats are happy.

Spring Goodness

 

Lots of great new finds, wonderful dishes and napkins, fresh french lavender, grown just down the road in Bloomington and more wonderful antique treasures.... 

Holly & Sophie

My best customer service rep, merchandiser and all around best employee. Yep thats Holly (and her assistant manager, the fluffy one, Sophie) - Can you believe she's going into her 3rd year of college and is leaving us...? But she will be back the first weekend in October to help out with Spoon River Drive.

Ev's Country Store----

Sometimes the cutest things can be found in out of the way- almost unheard of places. 

This is a little shop I  found just north of Peoria. It's attached to an older womans house- she does quilts and alterations.... for very very fair prices.

 Thanks for letting me hunt through your buttons Ev!
